Cost matters but it would seem they match each other pretty closely in pricing on paper so that hasn’t really influenced my decision-making much. Part of the reason I applied undeclared at UCSB we because I didn’t and still do not really know what exactly it is I want to major in. I had to select a major for cal poly in order to apply but would have opted in for undeclared had that been possible. I’m slightly worried about how purportedly difficult it is to change majors at cal poly, especially to an oversaturated one such as engineering, which I am also somewhat interested in. I might be deferring until fall 2022 so it might serve me to have the freedom of undeclared. Maybe I just answered my own question with that one but there are little things that draw me to cal poly like its on-campus climbing walls and seemingly superior dorms. I’m caucasian but I do appreciate the heightened diversity offered at UCSB as diversity is what I’m used to at this point. I live in LA so I’m planning on revisiting both schools one more time before I must decide.
