UCSC or UCSB for a history/anthro major?

I have to disagree with Vedanta a bit. UCSC is maybe considered among the lower tier because it’s standards still aren’t quite as high (3.7 average GPA instead of 4.0-ish) as the others when it comes to who they accept, but academically the school is not significantly worse off than UCSB, if at all.
A lot of choosing is about the feel of the school. If you don’t like the atmosphere of UCSB, then you will probably not preform as well there, yeah?
