Which is better Cal state long beach, or UC Riverside for Biology?

Question

I'm a Biology Major...and I was wondering which one of these Uni's is better? UC Riverside, or CSU Long Beach?

Answer 1

Depends on what you want to do with a degree in biology. The UC school is more research based and the state school more focused on "training CA work force." That is a generalization you could get a Bio degree at CSLB and go on for advanced degrees even in research and you could get the degree from UC Riverside and go to work.

Another factor.... where would rather spend 4 years of your life Long Beach or Riverside? Visit both schools before you decide. Talk to bio majors at both schools. Me I would prefer the beach as opposed to the smog of Riverside. But I hear the Riverside campus is nice and I also hear they are trying to get a Med School.

Answer 2

confident! Shine in Cal State! The UC's are large, yet state colleges are often stable too. you will locate jobs - only take some internships, artwork particularly confusing, and have a astonishing existence :-)
