UCD is in a college town, which can make the college experience pretty easy when the surrounding town bends to the needs of students. It is close enough to Tahoe to take a day trip skiing while close enough to San Francisco to pop over for a day of sight seeing or to check out that band in one of the small clubs. However, I’d check on that “easy to transfer into engineering” rumor. I’d heard it was hard to transfer into engineering, easy to transfer out.

UCSB is absolutely beautiful. I know kids who went there that had no trouble concentrating, and others that were easily swayed by the party scene. It depends on what kind of student you are.

UCI is not as popular in my social circles, so though I do know people who went there and transferred out, I don’t know any that stayed, so I can’t really comment on the social aspects there.
