[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCs are not worth it for undergraduate studies. With tens of thousands of students, you are a number to the administration and faculty. You will not get access to research and you will be taught by research assistants not professors. If this is the experience you want for your kid, and willing to pay $70,000 a year, then fine and accept the situation. [/quote]

Not just here in the U.S. but globally, the UC system is perceived as the gold standard for U.S. public education, and by a large margin. After UCLA and Cal, the drop-off to Michigan, Texas, Washington, UNC, UVA, and Florida is significant (especially globally). Everything else you said is reflective of the experience for a very small group of students who failed to do their part in pursuing the ample opportunities available to everyone in the UCs.[/quote]

This is a common experience for many students not just a very small group of students. The truth is those opportunities are not available to the majority of students because there are just too many students. This is a fact whether you acknowledge it or not. Go to the UCs if you wish to and can afford out of state tuition, but do it with eyes wide open. The weather is great but I don't agree that there is a significant  drop-off in the quality of education if you attend other (in state) public schools. [/quote]
