Also- claiming any of those schools you listed are a better value than Cal Poly (a CSU) is wrong.

cal poly slo/ pomona are not good schools

[ManoftheHour]

but UCSD has the ugliest campus in the UCs with a joke of a library. Probably has the ugliest student body as well

No thats UCB

you must mean riverside if you're talking about an ugly student body.

but seriously if you're going to go to a ttt uc for ug you might as well save yourself the cash and go to a csu. then you can put those savings into your massively hellish law school debt.

Most definitely Riverside.

They're not good, but they're not bad. They're the best two CSUs. Most of the CSUs are not even worth attending, but I'd make the case that attending either Polys for engineering is not a dumb thing to do. SLO's engineering program is quite good.

oh yeah i forgot SLO's engineering is pretty good



also, lol at CSU san marcos and CSU fullerton

[gitguy]

I went to a UC. It was a pretty decent experience.

i went to a UC, most of their professors were part time profs from local community colleges, for example, uci and irvine valley college students received same quality of education, i also heard UCI Law profs were recruited from people's college of law in los angeles

Weird. Most of my profs were esteemed scholars in their fields.

+1

SLO is actually a relatively good school in CA even though its not in the UC system, better than all the CSUs. Ive gone up to party at CSU san marcos a couple time, pretty decent party scene surprisingly (such a small school). This was 3 years ago when a buddy went there, things may have changed. Fullerton shouldnt even be considered a 4 year, its like a glorified community college, people who go there only do so b/c 1) they want to live at home/have a job in the area or 2) they were to dumb to get into a good school.

I will say there is one positive thing about UCI law, you can use the UCI gym, which is pretty badass...I would say thats the only thing it has going for it.

[Dr. Dre]

This is somewhat of an LST for undergraduate education (on the west coast)


as you can see, small private schools dominate this list

Gym rats gotta be unbiased when it comes to gyms. I used to drive to UCI (15-20 mins) to lift with a buddy during summers even though I was a 2 min drive from a 24-hour fitness

but they do have an excellent gym, I'd be an idiot if i'd say otherwise

The UCI gym is particularly nice. The campus itself is nice too, just the area around it is super dull.

EDIT: Kobe used to go there. RIP

Fullerton shouldnt even be considered a 4 year, its like a glorified community college, people who go there only do so b/c 1) they want to live at home/have a job in the area or 2) they were to dumb to get into a good school.

I was thinking this exact same thing. The students at Fullerton all think they're really special for some reason. There's a big difference in attitude between Fullerton kids and the Cal Poly Pomona kids, despite the fact that the schools are within a 20 minute drive of one another.

[Dr. Dre]

campus is way too big, the buildings are ugly since they are all brutalist architecture, irvine COL sucks

I have some friends who go to Fullerton. One in particular tells me everyday how he feels like a failure because he wasn't able to go anywhere else. I feel bad he thinks that way, but he is doing extremely well now (which may in part be because of the competittion he faces). He will have a nicely padded GPA for PA school. Also, did anyone see that article saying the schools with the toughest grading scale/least grade inflation? It said CSUF had one of the toughest grading scales. Obviously that is skewed, but still made me raise an eyebrow.

lol fucking achilles. poor LA we've been whipped this year.

Bren events center is aight. I used to do summer camps there as a kid. I still use the campus tennis courts every so often after work

CSUF might not be a "Real" school.. its more of a commuter college.. but you can be successful coming out of it nonetheless. a few people at my firm went to cal poly pomona and fullerton and now they make six figures, and I've met people across the country who've done pretty well from there, so who knows whats best?

[Dr. Dre]

1. the new Bren center sucks, it is pretty much a rip off of this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alex_G._Spanos_Center

2. CSUF is shitty academically, but the reports are true, Dmini7, getting good grades at CSUF is very hard. So going there sucks twofold because: (a) you get a shitty education (b) you risk getting bad grades

3. the only CSU worth going to is Cal Poly SLO

Interesting you say that on a law school forum, considering it doesn't matter where you go to undergrad for law school admissions.

this is especially true


but i'm saying that about CSUF because if you want to go to law school and you go to CSUF, then you run the risk of getting bad grades.


if you get bad grades your screwed for law school admission

I'd say the likelihood of getting dinged for taking 7 years to graduate is higher than getting bad grades at CSUF.

It's true, most CSUs are commuter schools, but they serve their purpose for many people who are trying to juggle their education with other things like a family, etc.

By the way, Aztecs represent!
