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

A fine example of the "top notch" open-minded Cal education -- "you Berkeley haters are *crazy.* "

Berkeley also has one of the worst safety ratings for a large school (Grade F)

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

Ditto. I have a coworker that went to one of those institutions and admits that she didn't get a good education because they were more focused on morality than education.

Best to avoid the extremes on both sides. College should be about experiencing various viewpoints.

For a daughter, I'd also avoid the schools with a high percentage of sexual assaults: http://www.american-school-search.com/colleges/dangerous

Any school that offers DC a merit scholarship. It's a pretty good sign that the school is desperate for stronger students to boost their averages. Plus it redistributes money from needier students to families that don't need the financial help.

Any small, regional school that doesn't offer DC money. He wanted to go to Providence College at full pay...not happening!

The Citadel or VMI.

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.

Totally agree.

I like USC. Absolutely hate the location. It's dangerous. Period.

Good point!

If a university or college is afraid of open and free dialogue then they should not be in business.

No doubt south-central LA is a dangerous place, but the campus itself is not among the 100 most dangerous.
