ccc2012 Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Never heard of UMD. Between UCLA and UCSD, definitely take UCLA. UCSD is awful. wine in coffee cups 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted March 26, 2012 Author Share Posted March 26, 2012 UMD is University of Maryland. What's wrong with UCSD? Thanks for sharing your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Deckard Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Never heard of UMD. Between UCLA and UCSD, definitely take UCLA. UCSD is awful. This seems like a strange opinion to have considering that all three programs are ranked #14 by US News. Particularly strange that you were not even aware of the existence of a top 15 CS program called the University of Maryland. Anyway, I was at UCSD last week and saw their CS program a bit and it seemed pretty nice, though I don't really know a lot about it (was visiting the Math program).

EquationForLife Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Having lived in or close to all 3 places, I have to say I like San Diego the most. The school is in an nice area and you can find a lot of affordable housing. There is good reliable transportation and not a lot of traffic jams like UCLA. I haven't lived in Maryland for a while so I can't help you as much with taht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ancient CS Grad Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I can't decide which is better. Any of the three stand out to anyone? I don't think you are asking the right question. Do you have a specific interest in CS? Have you been offered funding from a specific Professor or Research Group. These are questions that you need to think about in addition to the the overall department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
