uc, cc, or csu??

Hi everyone!

For context, I’m a freshman @ UCSD for MAE. A multitude of factors is preventing me from enjoying the school (homesickness, cost, classes, etc). I’m heavily considering withdrawing, but am unsure on how to proceed.

Since attending my MAE orientation, I realized I’m not all that interested in eng as I initially thought. I am interested in exploring business/accounting as I was really involved in that throughout high school.

However, would it be worth it to do Business Econ at UCSD? It is a very STEM heavy school so I’ve heard not great things about the program. I got advice from my teacher and she told me CSUF and CPP are good options for accounting. Would it be best for me to go to cc then csu? Is UC to CSU transfer common? I’m also interested in UCLA since I want to make my way into the business entertainment industry but i’m not sure of their program either. (UCB is too far for me)

I think trying to adjust at UCSD is difficult for me and that’s why I’m having these thoughts, but in terms of my major, it might be more beneficial to leave. The refund period deadline keeps counting down and I am struggling with my MAE pre req classes. I told myself I’d stay for fall quarter but I keep doubting myself.

Any advice for me or personal experience is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Questions ab MechE & ucla in general

helloo! i got off the waitlist for mechanical engineering today and need some advice/insight from current students🙏🏼

currently, i’m committed to UCSD (sixth) for the same major and wanted to know more about LA’s program:

  1. how are the classes and professors?
  2. job prospects? internships?
  3. since experience & projects are important, do clubs help with that?
  4. academic support?
  5. engineering student environment?
  6. literally ANYTHING else like overall school life, registration, location, food, campus, etc!

i’m kind of attached to ucsd already but i have 2 more days to make my decision😓 thank you!
