<p>Neuroscience is a major to feel anxious about regardless of which school you decide to attend. To be honest, you will most likely change your major at least once during your time in college. UCR will not be significantly easier than UCLA. The only exception is having friends and family close by for support, which you have to figure out for yourself how to prioritize. College is a time of trying new things, and growing as a person. I personally believe that having some time away from familiar territory is good during your college career. It forces you to form a family of friends within your school. Finally, consider the fact that a degree from UCLA is highly regarded across the world, whereas a degree from UCR doesn’t quite carry the same weight in academia.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
