[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Visited both with older dd, who is a freshman at a private college on the east coast.  I’d go to UCSB in a heartbeat, the buildings aren’t anything special but can’t beat living on the beach.  I don’t think you get more college town ish than Isla Vista, and SB proper is a free 15 minute bus ride away.

UCSD disappointed us.  I think it would be better to live there than tour, La Jolla itself is great.  But darn if half the college aren’t built in the most despressing style possible.[/quote]

100% agree with this.

UCSB is such a beautiful place to go to school.  We also say UCSD on the same trip and the contrast was stark.  We didn't even finish the tour.[/quote]

I went on a UCSD campus tour about 10 years ago and it was just depressing. But I did like the Giesel library. Visited UCSB on the same trip and it was a complete 180. Cohesive campus and super vibrant. Colder than I expected though.

Don’t know anything about the academics of either school but they seem to be rated highly on various websites.[/quote]
