UCSD Vs. UC Davis

I’ve been admitted as a Poli/Sci majors to both. Prestige doesn’t really matter to me. I’m looking for a college where I can have a great time, do what I like to do, and get a great GPA (which means I would prefer interesting, easy classes, but then again who doesn’t?). I enjoy history and politics and absolutely hate all math and science. Grad school may be somewhere in my future, but after college I want to be a pilot in the Air National Guard, and all they care about is a clean record and a stellar GPA. Davis is located by Travis air force base, and I plan on enlisting in the air force reserve as a C-17 loadmaster. Commuting to and from base during drill weekends would be much easier at Davis. Additionally, I’m a licensed and Instrument Rated Private Pilot, and Davis literally has an airport on campus. I’m also a mountain biker and an outdoors type of person, and Davis seems to have that kind atmosphere.

Then again, I keep telling myself I must be crazy for turning down sunshine, the beach, and chicks for an agricultural school. Again, my main goals are to have a great time and knock my GPA out of the park. Which college environment would be better for me?
