tufts vs ucsd!

hi... i just got off the tufts waitlist and i need to decide between ucsd and tufts and id love to get some advice

i'm not exactly sure what i want to do in the future, but i do want to do something in the medical field (not really pre-med.. pharma, dental, biotech, clinical psych, ux design/ai.. im keeping my options open).

ucsd pros:

- in-state tuition

- weather!

- visited and loved it so much

- i like my major (cognitive and behavioral neuroscience)

- biotech hub!

cons:

- harder to stand out/make connections in a larger environment

- will i get opportunity? competition

tufts:

- close knit, more support?

- academic rigor

- opportunities and proximity to boston, great for biotech and health

- the campus was nice when i visited! fairly nice size school

- i like the autonomy i get (tho im p sure ucsd would have the same)

- cool clinical psych program!

cons:

- price is more than double

- not my favorite location and weather-wise

- prefer campus of ucsd

- any more cons i should know about?
