My nephew studying in California got accepted and is deciding between these two. UC Santa Barbara offers full scholarship whereas Cornell costs about USD50k a year (tuition). My sister believes where he goes for his bachelor's degree isn't as important as grad school and UCSB is closer to home but she will let him choose. He plans to take biology. What do you think?

整體來講，Cornell 係比 UCSB prestigious，但都要睇埋小朋友想讀嘅學科邊間好 d，再者，學校嘅地點都係考慮因素，Cornell 都幾偏僻，我帶仔去過一次，校園的確優美，但周圍除了學校就是學校，我地夏天去，阿仔已經覺得難捱，漫長的冬天不知如何渡過

謝謝你的提醒，ivy league的名氣是很吸引的，不過我的家姐、姐夫偏向選擇加州大學，可能學費也是一個考慮。除了上述兩間外，UCSD亦是考慮之一，但要待recruit trip之後才知offer多少獎學金。

If money is a concern, then the answer is obvious. And from what you said, they probably also tend to choose UCSB right?
For people who wants to major in experimental sciences, I guess they would most probably consider grad school as well. In that case, a way to safe money is to attend UCSB (if they really offer that much scholarship/funds), work hard and then apply to ivy grad school.

I think if the kid is very smart and get very good grades in Cornell and no concern on money, then Cornell may be a good choice. But if the kid plans to go to grad school 100% sure, then UCSB is a more sensible choice.
Also UCSB has a CCB school which seems very interesting and works very closely with professors to do research, but not sure if there are any biology-related major in CCB.

You are right. But while he can apply for grad school later with ivy league colleges, we never know whether he will get the offer again. Does an ivy league degree really make a difference?

It's hard to say if he will get very good grades. What is CCB ?

如果意向係讀 Biology，會不會考慮 UC Berkeley？不久前 Mark Zuckerberg 夫婦捐了 3 billion 美金，在 UCSF 成立一個 biohub，匯集 UCSF，UC Berkeley 同 Stanford 嘅科學家，一同研究，我覺得未來 biomedical 喺 the Bay Area 會有好大潛力

Thanks for the info mugtaitai. My sister didn't mention UC Berkeley so I'm not sure if they get an offer or not. Among those that offered, they have narrowed down to Cornell and two UCs as they don't want to go on too many recruit trips. If I were her, I would want to see more before deciding.

家人認為無需要使多甘多錢讀名牌大學都可以有好的發展，所以偏向選擇加州大學算了。

多年前我的另一個姨甥Columbia收了，但因經濟考慮，最後讀加州大學，畢業後公司供他在USC讀Master，UCSB再給他full ride & allowance讀PhD。他很滿意現在的工作，亦沒有後悔當年放棄讀Columbia的機會。

UCSB offer is more attractive.

Yes. UCSD only offers USD5,000.
