I just finished my CS degree from UCLA a few months ago, and I have to say that it's a much better choice.
College is not all about the academics, it's about the complete package. UCLA has a crazy sports history with lots of school pride, there are a bunch of activities to do everywhere, and LA is much more fun the SD.
With that being said, the curriculum at UCLA is rigorous and be ready to pull a lot of long nights finishing projects.
And if nothing else, UCLA is ranked higher than UCSD. Why sell yourself short?
Here are some tips:
1. ALWAYS look up your professors on bruinwalk.com

2. Get out of engineering, do more with college.
3. Do NOT get a gf.
