UCSC or UCSB transfer anthro program?

[AnthroFlo]

<p>I am an Anthropology major who want to pursue cultural anthropology but am having a really difficult time choosing between UCSC and UCSB for my TAG. </p>

<p>I like that they are both supposed to have good programs and are in great environments but I am having difficulty digesting the stereotypes, which many current students have told me isn’t too far off - SC is a school where marijuana is very present whilst SB has a very full on party hard drinking culture. </p>

<h2>Personally, I don’t like either. </h2>

<p>PROS:</p>

<br>

<p>UCSC - great location, good program, supposed to be somewhat smaller than other UC campuses, if I really need to I can live at i home and drive to school.
UCSB - okay location, good program that states emphasis, beats UCSC in the ranks.</p>

<br>

<p>CONS:</p>

<br>

<p>UCSC: I believe I am within the geographic region, ergo it would be easier for me to get in without using a TAG (don’t want to waste it), marijuana, bursts of crime in area, low tier UC, offers anthro classes at an every-other year basis.
UCSB: Drinking culture, party culture, being one of the few minority and broke students on campus.</p>
