choices choices

im stuck with the choice of where to transfer to. My options being UCSD and SDSU. im presently following the UCSD's guidlines and find it not bad. i want to go to UCSD because of their engineering program and its credibility, so to speak. while on the other hand, SDSU is alright. big party school, and i can learn i guess the same things, but a cheaper price. so im quite lost. i need to take calc. 1-3 and two other calc classes, two physics, two chems. and like 5 comp. science classes inorder to transfer, meaning i have to have completed them with a 3.0 to get in to UCSD, while SDSU, i can just meet the GE and get in with a 2.0. so should i work really hard two get into a school i dont need to work hard for, or get some what of a reward for my efforts. so im quite stuck on what i should do, i guess the only things thats sepperating my disicion is cost. so thats what im thinking about.

  2. I agree with Carolyn about the importance of visiting schools. Now, I don't want to sound like a school snob, and I have attended both a UC school and a state university, but I will be honest that a UC is going to look more impressive than a state college on a transcript or resume. I don't mean to criticize state schools, but I am being honest.
