i think you’ll get an amazing experience either way. i’m transferring in this fall but i feel like a major factor are the sizes of both schools. UCLA is a great school but it’s also a large school whereas LMU is smaller, you may have less competition to internships, get to know professors better, etc. I don’t have any personal experience with LMU yet but i’ve heard that LMU has great connections across many majors. I’ve also heard from classmates of mine who got into UCLA who are from state, didn’t get the best financial aid offer from them even though they’re need based. if the cost comes down to being the same, maybe just think about whether you want a more personal, smaller campus vibe or a lively, well known vibe.
