UCSD or UCR? (GE's, time and money)

I really just intended to do my ge and pre reqs and then go to med school…I really got no $ at ucsd, and either way, my parents would still be providing for me. At ucr, at least i have $, and im in honors. Plus, i have a good 3-4 friends commuting and we can carpool no problem. If I went to ucsd, dorm payments would take up my moms whole paycheck…she’d be working only for me. We wanted a condo or apartment, but they are crazy expensive…

After comparing ge requirements too, I get more for my work at ucr. 12 units of english became 4. I’d have time to do those other pre reqs for med I still need to do–physics, bio, etc. I didn’t take em this year.

At ucsd, mmw is required no matter what so I’d be lagging.

Sure there’s a rep, but that’s all I see for me at ucsd right now at ERC.
