Hi! I’m a high school senior and an incoming freshman in college as pre-med. I plan on my major being either in Biochemistry or around Neuroscience/Biopsychology. As a pre-med student, I want to be on a campus that provides opportunities to expose myself to the medical field. I’ve also considered joining clubs and what not. For financial status, both colleges leave me with about the same net cost. I live in San Diego which means I’m much closer to UCSD. Can I go wrong with either choice? Is there any advice out there that could help me choose? Is there something that I should consider? Students from either UCSD or UCSB, please tell me what the campus is like for you as students. I want to gain more perspective from students, instead of basic information on campus tours. I know that UCSB is considered a “party school” but that’s something I don’t mind. I will decide whether I want it to be a distraction or not. I just want to know about the environment, club opportunities, pre-med advising, and classes. Thanks, guys!
