Which California university should I go to out of these three?

They are in three far-flung locations. UC Irvine has the best academic reputation. If you live near one of the others that would be a reason to choose. My sister graduated from Cal State Northridge which has a good reputation. I dont know about Long Beach State. Communications major doesnt mean much. It is not very academic, it is kind of a flunkie major for someone who does not plan to get a job. Find something you can use. The English major is far better.
