I just finished my CS degree from UCLA a few months ago, and I have to say that it's a much better choice.

College is not all about the academics, it's about the complete package. UCLA has a crazy sports history with lots of school pride, there are a bunch of activities to do everywhere, and LA is much more fun the SD.

With that being said, the curriculum at UCLA is rigorous and be ready to pull a lot of long nights finishing projects.

And if nothing else, UCLA is ranked higher than UCSD. Why sell yourself short?

Here are some tips:

1. ALWAYS look up your professors on bruinwalk.com

2. Get out of engineering, do more with college.

3. Do NOT get a gf.



None of those seem difficult; in fact, I'm doing one of them right now.
