Miami vs. UCLA
I just wanna go to UCLA and live in La La Land, but I'm conflicted about whether I should choose a "better" program, whatever that means.
So I'm a die hard west coast person, but I'm wondering if it will be a big mistake to rank UCLA above NYU. Anyone with any perspective care to shed some light? I know I'm lucky to be in this position, but still... (different from the above person)

To the person who wrote "Modlin is not the most popular guy" under UCLA impressions, could you please expand?
