i genuinely feel like this is just me, but i cannot smell Coastal Dreaming for the life of me. i wanted to like the FFM so much while in store bc the scent notes are genuinely my favorkte, but when i sprayed it i couldn’t smell anything?? is this just me or do others share this struggle?
Hi all,
Decision Day is tomorrow, and I'm really really conflicted for my decisions. I was accepted to UCSD for Business Economics OOS, and am in Sixth College. I was also accepted to UIUC in-state, for the undergraduate Gies Program. I plan on attending law school afterwards! I would love to know your perspective as current Tritons!
Pros of UCSD:
- Location (sunny weather, and in an amazing spot for Cali connections!)
- Ranking (3rd best public school in the US)
- It's something completely new, and it has amazing opportunities for Business Econ and Poli Sci, which is what I want to major in.
- Research opportunities!!
- I received the Triton OOS Scholarship for 20,000 a year, making my COA about 64k a year
- I fell in LOVE with the campus lol
- Feels like starting a new experience, not just starting college, especially with its proximity to the city!
Cons:
- Lack of alumni network
- Grade deflation/issues keeping a high gpa due to the quarter system
- Socially dead rumors (compared to UIUC)
- Less support career/internship wise
- Distance from home 😞
- lack of school spirit (and football team!)
Pros of UIUC:
- Alumni network throughout the Illinois area
- Cheaper COA (about 43k a year)
- Easier to achieve a higher GPA and better internship abilities
- Closer to home
- More social life and school spirit!
- It's the dream college experience! everyone ik absolutely LOVES it over there (and my parents want me to go here lol)
Cons:
- It's in the cornfields and horrible weather
- I'm not sure if I completely want to go down the business route, and may switch to poly-sci, which UCSD is better for
- Less ability for research, and may be harder to obtain research positions
- No scholarships or honors
- Small city
I know it seems like the obvious answer would be UIUC, but I'm really conflicted because I would love to attend UCSD. We can afford to pay the difference, but I just don't know. Internally, however irrationally this seems, UIUC just feels like I'm settling for some reason, and I'm worried I would always have that regret in the back of my mind, but likewise if I choose ucsd lmao. I wouldn't mind UIUC at all bc it's an amazing school, I just really like UCSD. If you would be able to help or maybe get me to snap out of it, I would really appreciate it (especially as current UCSD students!!)
