UCI over UCLA?

<p>“I live in Irvine and had a chance to go to UCI but picked UCLA…Irvine is NOT a college town…Westwood is. Go to UCLA you will enjoy it more. Good Luck.”
If I decide to go to UCLA, its not because its more fun. I’m just looking for the school that I will feel comfortable in.</p>

<p>“UCLA Mathematics is ranked in the top 20. UCI Mathematics is unranked.”
But that applies to their grad program. How much does that say about their undergrad department? The UCI math major students I’ve heard from say the quality of instruction should be the same for each school’s department. But since I’m unsure, I’m trying to get opinions from math majors at UCLA.</p>

<p>“UCI classes are much easier than UCLA’s, in my opinion”
Then it will be easier for me to better grades if I go to UCI! right? I can just self-study if my professors don’t cover much material.</p>
