UCSB’s College of Creative Studies is one of the best options in the UC for Biology, Chemistry and Physics. One of the best options in the nation, too. It’s a tough admit.

Both Santa Cruz and Santa Barbara will have research options for a motivated undergrad. I’d suggest calling the department offices and asking to talk to some undergrads who are involved in research opportunities. See if you get any strong vibes one way or the other. Other than that, I’d go with the campus environment you prefer.
