I’m a political science major and want to transfer and stay close to home around Davis, but Poly Sci is ranked #7 in the nation per USN & WR…UCD is #24. (Though as a whole, SD is only a couple spots above Davis). Which is the better school, all-around?

Seems like an obvious choice in regards to academics; however, I hear UCSD has no social life and is extremely boring in that regard, whereas Davis has a pretty chill, fun, and active campus life outside the books.

Also, is the grading more rigorous as UCSD compared to UCD? I know SD has an average GPA of around 3.0 for current students…not sure about Davis.

Thanks…please help.
