when will these drop in financial aid?

This will be my biggest heartbreak

does this exist?

Torn between UCLA and UCSB right now. I’m an Econ (admitted for both schools) and Geography/Environmental Studies major. I love both schools, I grew up and live in a smaller coastal town, but UCSB has an edge for me for environmental subjects. However, I need housing accommodations and I do not think UCSB will be able to fulfill that. Also, finding a room for the following year seems tough. My estimate for UCSB is $0 for the year (excluding housing, which could be $15,000-$20,000 a year or so), and UCLA I’m still waiting for my aid to be finalized due to their scholarship process. I also feel as though my job opportunities will be a little better. I‘m still waiting on another decision as well. So, I have some time to decide. Any info appreciated :)

Of course, every school has its pros and cons, but what made you come here and what makes you enjoy your experience?
