Do you expect to have a car? If not, I’d say you would feel the lack of one more acutely at UCSD than at UCLA. I’m not sure about cars and ASU but maybe others will weigh in.

If you didn’t have the coveted CA in-state status, I’d go with Barrett rather than pay double for a UC… but at cost parity, I think I’d lean toward whichever UC you prefer. The whole thing of your dad’s moving his business to AZ so that you can save on the last 2-3 years’ tuition… not only does it sound like a hassle, but you might regret it if you then realized you’d like to apply to UC grad programs.
