Carolyn or anyone else: Which University is better UCSB or UCSC in physics/astrophysics? Which has a better academics, social life, student diversity, and pre-med? Thank you

Both are fine. I'm personally familar with UCSC's astrophysics program because I have friends that are professors in the department. It is a growing, well-funded department and has national recognition.

As for social life differences, your best bet is to visit because these campuses have very different feels and somewhat different student bodies. Of the two, UCSB is more known as a "party school." Either would be fine for pre-med but I'd probably give UCSB a slight edge.
