Great question. Same for us. We have done some research already. We live in San Diego and our son was also accepted to UCSD. He’s weighing the programs. UCSD is too close to home for him, but their international studies program is very good. We don’t know as much about UCSB. My husband is a UCSD alum and a lawyer. He says undergrad degree does not matter for law school. Our son just likes history and international studies. So, if he likes UCSB better (since the location is away from home and gorgeous), it should be fine. I think about the college experience in general as well as the program.
This is what we think for now, but we will be visiting both colleges to try to get more insight as well.
