Hi, I can't decide which college to attend. Can someone please help me?
I got accepted to
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UCSB: College of Creative Studies
UC Merced: Gauranteed Tranfer to UCLA or UCB
U of A

I can't decide. I'm leaning towards trying the UC Merced transfer option after one year but my mom is worried that I won't get the credits needed out of community college classes needed from the summer(I already have some credit from AP and CC classes) to tranfer after a year or that I'll screw up me gpa and not get out at all.

UCSB: CCS seems good but I don't like the atmosphere of UCSB

UC Davis and Irvine seem to be good schools but don't have anything excellant.

U of Arizona doesn't really seem that good at all.

-changed A to arizona

Alabama? Arkansas? Alaska? Alberta?
 
U of Arizona isn't a bad school. I'm not sure why you think other wise. I heard they have a pretty good engineering school.
 
I heard that UC Davis has an excellent undergraduate Math program.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
