Ucsd or cal poly san luis obispo

[spanner07]

I am going to be an undergraduate majoring in mechanical engineering and I am having trouble choosing between San Luis Obispo and UCSD. I know that both schools have great undergraduate programs, but I would like to get some advice on which school to choose before I make my decision.

All I know about San Luis Obispo is that they have tough admissions for transfers. I heard of some students in my community college who got accepted by Berkeley but not San Luis Obispo for engineering.

UCSD is great for academics and not known for having much of a social atmosphere, so it fits well if you're not the partying type.
