UCSD is a top ranked university. The UC system is the best state school system, and SD is the third best one.
FIU is cheaper and larger. Plus, it's a ton easier to get into, meaning you'll naturally find a more diverse and better looking group of students. It also has a much better sports department.
While both schools have great weather, SD wins out b/c it has the best weather in the country (Hawaii included). However, FIU's located in a much more fun city.
It basically boils down to whether you want to party in college (FIU), or go to an academic college and graduate with a well respected degree (UCSD).

well i'm bias here since i went to UCSD and it was a great experience, but honestly i think if you base yourself on reputation UCSD is the better known school... however they have an interesting system with the 6 college system... i really think you should email the people at the school and check out each school's website... UCSD's website is very easy to navigate through at UCSD.edu we're got a great campus, a beautiful library, helpful staff, great professors... i do recommend you look to see if UCSD offers whatever area of study it is you maybe interested I happen to know there are some areas it doesn't offer..
good luck in your choice... and i hope you really consider UCSD, its a great school, and san diego is "america's finest city"...

UCSD has a better name and is better known, at least outside of California. FIU is less known.
