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?
