[quote=Anonymous][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]
If you can't get into a research lab at a public university, you might just be bad at your subject or a complete idiot at talking to others. It is very easy compared to smaller colleges where you have to pull teeth and constantly keep in touch with a professor for them to even begin considering you.[/quote]

And yet smaller colleges rank much higher in grads that go on to earn STEM PhDs, which often requires working closely with faculty on research.[/quote]
People chose liberal arts colleges for the purpose of going to grad school. Doesn't mean they're any better at doing so. It's just more of students' interests. At a state university, you also have more career resources.[/quote]
