We’re supposed to believe that the institutions accepting a higher percentage of their population are better than the more selective ones that are accepting a lower percentage of their population? Yeah, OK.[/quote] My kid is graduating from Berkeley in a week, so what I’m about to say isn’t coming from a “hater”, but this is one of the dumbest analyses I’ve seen on DCUM.[/quote] The opinions of CC transfers don’t count, so settle down. And it’s an analysis.[/quote] Do you know how singular/plural nouns work?[/quote] The thesis is “the UC system is the best public education system in America”. Where’s the additional assessment, genius?[/quote] So needlessly aggressive. When I say “one of the dumbest analyses I’ve seen on DCUM”, I mean “I’ve seen many analyses on DCUM”. Among those, I’ve seen both intelligent, thoughtful takes, and … takes that are … not. Of the many analyses I’ve seen on DCUM, “the UC low admit rates mean they’re the best schools in the country booya mic drop” is one of the dumbest.[/quote] I, too, have apparently been unclear. Anyone arguing that UCLA, Berkeley, and Michigan are anything but the clear-cut, undisputed Top 3 public institutions in this country is an abject moron; a rounding error, bereft of the minimum level of general cognitive abilities necessary to continue the discussion. Resentment and jealousy of the State of California has become an obsessive pastime for large swaths of America, but that doesn’t excuse your lame responses. There. Have a great day, though![/quote] Nobody is jealous of California. It is fine. Their UC schools are nice for in-state residents mainly due to the cost but they have problems making them unattractive for out of state residents who would have to pay more than they are worth.[/quote] Isn't paying OOS for any public paying for more than the oos public is worth. People want to go to Michigan oos. Why? When they can easily go to their WI flagship and still be many hours away from parents if distance from home is a factor. [/quote] Unlike the UC schools, other publics have affordable student housing, non-overcrowded classes, and easy class registration that won’t extend college beyond the normal timeline or severely limit your class options. Also overly relying on TAs instead of professors is a huge issue. Michigan is worth out of state tuition, among many others. The student experience and education provided are much better. The UC schools are only worth in-state tuition. [b]It is like getting your college degree from Costco[/b].[/quote] How so?[/quote] Classes are enormous with so many students like a warehouse. [b]FIghting the crowds and long lines to enroll in classes with are often full.[/b] Classes are just budget items so not getting much from the professors but mainly just the TAs. Afterwards you tell yourself it was all worth it because you got a deal (low in-state tuition).[/quote] True at all 8 of them? [/quote] Yes.[/quote] What’s your personal UC experience? Are you that disgruntled TA who was discharged for cause?[/quote] If you talk to current students at the UCs you will hear a lot of complaints. They will say it is worth it to save tuition but is it really? So many problems that even they don’t believe it anymore.[/quote] OK, but that anecdotal hypothetical (if I talk to current students, I’ll hear complaints) is not the basis for your arguments here. Right? Right?! [/quote]
