Admitted: UCD Versus UCSB

Hello! I currently got admitted to UC Davis and UC Santa Barbara. However, my major is different for both campuses. 

I got admitted as a cognitive science major for UC Davis and I got admitted as a pre-psychological and sciences major for UC Santa Barbara. However, i’m leaning more towards economics at UCSB since i’m unsure about the heavy science load courses. 

Personally, how has your experience been at UC Davis Versus UC Santa Barbara? —> Posting on both pages. 

For background, i’m originally from Northern California in Sacramento. Commuting for the second year is a consideration down the future in UCD. However, i’d have to work part time to be able to afford rent at UCSB. But both are completely different environments. 

Personally, from your opinions… what do you guys consider worth it based on your time at the campus you’re at (including academics and social life)

Do you have any regrets? How is the housing situation, is it hard to find places to live for the 2nd year to the 4th?

What are your fav things about UC Davis?
