Hi guys,
I want to hear your opinions.
I am right now a master student at UCLA, I have been working on my research in optics for nearly a year and will possibly transfer to PhD program.
Also I got admission from UCSB, photonics track.
I am really not sure which one to choose. UCSB has one of the best program in photonics in the world, but I am not really familiar with the topic. Life at UCSB should be cheaper and more relax than UCLA. On the other hand, I feel really awkward to tell my advisor that I would leave the group and I feel comfortable with my PI and my group members right now....
