Having lived 10 years in Seattle - Silverdale/ Magnolia / Bothell… and the last 6 in San Diego… about 3 miles from UCSD campus… you owe yourself a quick flight see for yourself…
I have no dog in this premed fight… just having lived in both places, I would pick UCSD over UW… no matter what the major, come see and decide for yourself… yes, it’s that unbelievable…
