[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Californians are so blessed with their in-state options - Berkeley, UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Davis, UC Santa Barbara, UC Irvine, Cal Poly SLO. Not to mention Stanford, CalTech, and USC as private options. It's such a shame that the northeast doesn't value education the same way.  [/quote]

One agreed - California has an excellent school system. It was even better - tuition was free for all residents.  You could work summers just to make room and board.

Cooper Union in NY was tuition free and is planning to get back that way in 2028 - don't think Cal has a tuition free private school; NY SUNY system is still lower cost for OOS and in-state costs comparable to Cal State. They also have Cornell, Columbia, NYU, Rensselaer, Vassar, ...  Also NY is comparable in terms of the Entertainment and Fashion industry.

But - still hats off to California and NY.  You ought to be digging at the states that believe tuition is a luxury and not an investment.

I know Fox News keeps screaming bankruptcy but the NY and CAL is still the richest states in the US. With the most number of Billionaires. [/quote]
The California options are much better. It’s the most comprehensive public school system in the nation. I[b]’m not really sure what the purpose of a tuition free private college really is.[/b][/quote]

They make college available to everyone - even Cal in-state you have to pay.  The school tied with Cal Poly for Engineering and is free(was or will be).  https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/rankings/engineering-overall?_sort=rank&_sortDirection=asc

Not sure once you include NY housing if it evens out.

So - I don't sound like a Cooper Union fan. I personally prefer Cal Poly. I figured someone that's looking for a NY experience Cooper would do vs Cal Poly.

Cooper union is a tiny school, nothing like a UC which provides for the public good.[/quote]

The statement was limited to three things: Majoring in Engineering, Wanting to live in NY, and as an alternative to CalPoly. No one compared Cooper to UC.  [/quote]
