UCI vs UCSB vs SJSU

<p>Can someone on this thread who is at ucsb, or ucsd, or uc davis tell me the class size of the freshman/soph core classes, such as calc, chem, physics?</p>

<p>Are they all lecture halls? If so are they taught by decent english speaking profs ?
What size are the labs? and how many students in those? Is extra help available tutoring, or other support?</p>

<p>My son was not accepted into engineering at these schools but was told he could transfer into ME after completing at least one quarter in good standing, or apply to the department after completing a year of the core requirements.</p>

<p>He is weighing these schools out for ME while also considering Gonzaga, Rose HUlman…
and he does want a engaging curriculm…not just all lecture halls?</p>

<p>Any info out there?</p>
