  1. @calizab, thanks for the info. I just went to Berkeley and am from the Bay Area, so LMK if you have any questions about Cali/Bay Area!
  2. Boulder was my first choice upon applying to schools, and thankfully I got in! I also got in to UC Santa Barbara as well. I visited Colorado last year and really enjoyed the pace of living out there, and I've never visited Santa Barbara. I grew up in the Bay Area and am already concerned about losing diversity, the litness (if you will, there's always fun stuff goin on in the Bay), and culture. I know for sure I'll be losing those things and gaining relaxation and nature/beauty by going to either school. I've been dead set on Boulder until recently. While I'm looking to get out of Cali for a bit, I'd need to buy a different car and obviously the move would be more challenging to Boulder than SB. I prefer mountains to the beach (marginally) but Santa Barbara seems to have some slightly more exciting research going on. Santa Barbara is the easier and less stressful choice here for sure, plus some of my best friends live in SoCal, but I consider grad school a great chance to branch out and live somewhere entirely new like Colorado. I'm facing a seemingly impossible decision here. Does anyone have any input on these schools, areas, or programs or general advice about what they find to be the most important/quality-of-life-determining aspects of their PhD experience?
