[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Previous poster again: the Silicon Valley is a very boring place in a lot of ways. Very.

Think endless miles of strip malls and office buildings intermixed. You drive a few miles, and don't realize you're in another city because it all looks the same. The weather is great, but I don't think I'd dig SCU as a young person of 18 or 19.

Even my spouse who grew up there fled for college elsewhere in CA and never moved back. I find the SV leaves me cold as a location. It's just sort of...dull and uninspiring as a place.[/quote]
Sorry, but I drive a few  miles here in Rockville, end up in another town, and it all looks the same.

I used to live in the Silicon Valley, not too far from SCU.

OP, I would not pay that much money for a STEM degree at SCU.  I get your kid loves CA, especially the weather.  I so miss it; I just got back from CA for spring break.   My kid would love to go to school in CA. But, I'm not paying those prices for a mediocre school. Unless finances is not an issue at all for you, this would be a dumb move.[/quote]

But why?  I think a lot of us used to live in SV, although I was not clued into the local university situation. I was a person who really didn't pay attention to where people went to college - it wasn't talked about a lot. But the stats on SCU are very very good, especially on pay. So if this is about  finances only, I'd pick SCU over a bunch of other T50 colleges.  [/quote]
