<p>Okay, sooooo, my sister graduated from UCLA. She told me, according to a lot of her friends, that the Bioengineering department is a wreck. I dunno if this is really true, but I can tell you the difference is probably more than just “negligible”. I would look into that more if I were you. </p>
<p>I know you said you also like the “well-roundedness” of UCLA, but who is to say UCSD is not well rounded? UCSD is extremely good in any biological related science and pretty much all the engineerings. Unless you were planning on going into a humanities major (which would be an odd jump from bioengineering…), then I would say it has the same level of well-roundedness in the sciences. </p>
<p>That being said, if you enjoyed the atmosphere at UCLA more, you should definitely give that deep consideration. I know quite a few people that go to both school, and it completely depends on the person. Some love SD, some love LA. Make sure you’re happy at your school, or you’ll find it difficult to success anyway. Besides, academics are only part of the college experience.</p>
