<p>I’ve so far got addmitted to both Irvine and Santa Barbara for ME but I dont know which to go to! I’ve been trying to find some stats on both such as percent of students who get a job right out of college but I haven’t been very successful… what do you guys think!!!</p>
<p>I <em>think</em> UCSB is better in engineering, but you may have to look it up.
Other than that, Irvine is boring IMO. UCSB is an exciting college experience.
Depends on you as a person though. What are your interests?</p>
<p>Irvine’s ranked higher for mech engineering, but UCSB is up there.
[NRC</a> Rankings in Mechanical Eng](<a href=“http://www.stat.tamu.edu/~jnewton/nrc_rankings/area26.html]NRC”>NRC Rankings in Mechanical Eng)</p>
<p>but yeah Irvine can be boring.</p>
<p>how current are those NRC rankings?</p>
<p>They are the most current NRC rankings, that being said, theyre over 10 years old.</p>
