UCSD, UCSB or USC?

Applying to College
1

<p>Hey guys, i’m an Egyptian student studying in Cairo and i just received acceptances from UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara and University of Southern California. I got accepted to undeclared majors in both UCSB and USC but got my first choice (chemical engineering) at UCSD and was admitted to the Warren College. Can you please give me any tips as to which would be a better choice for me? I am taking into account the social life as well as academics. Also, i don’t want to have to much of a hardcore academic university, i want one thats well balanced with a good social life, nightlife, academics, area, etc…</p>

<p>Thanks in advance,</p>

<p>I believe UCSB has the best chemE program of all three, followed by USC and then UCSD.
Life at all three should be pretty well rounded. I don’t have much else to contribute unfortunately. You should do some research on each school- look for student reviews rather than just general information.</p>
