+1. Academic power house for a state school. I would have no problem with my DC going to Berkeley. None.

Well, I guess DC could go but I would not pay a dime.

Any school that has disinvited a speaker due to student protests. If a college stands for anything it should be academic freedom.

I would have a hard time with USC. We toured there and the campus was in kind of a scary area and I'm not so sure I like the culture.


Why is the area '"scary?" [because it is urban?] and YOU didn't like the culture? what about your DC?

It's hard to overcome our prejudices, but there are facts out there. The crime stats suggest that some of the most bucolic settings are home to some of the 100 Most Dangerous Colleges in the US [based on statistical analysis of official government crime data for 6,696 colleges and universities in America. This data used was obtained from the US Department of Education.]

Most state schools (excluding top-ranked) at which we would have to pay out-of-state tuition. Not worth it. UM? Fine. MSU? No.

USC.

Cal grad here - you Berkeley haters are *crazy.* The school itself is really not that liberal and the education is top notch.
