When I was selecting colleges, I picked Davis over UCSB honors. I felt like Davis was a better suited school for me, and UCSB didn’t have my other major (I’m double majoring). Both universities are great, regardless of which you choose.
I will warn you, however, that the UCD Econ department is hard. The average GPA is curved strictly to a 2.4, meaning your grade is based completely off class rank, and not necessarily your actual percentage score.
However, if you choose to go into banking/finance in the future, UCD has special partnerships with Northwestern Mutual and Morgan Stanley in Sacramento–pretty much exclusive to UCD students
