[quote=Anonymous]Faculty, students, and college towns are the big factors for me. Funding/access/state commitment to the institution factor in as well. I, too, have lived in CA and know both a top and a “lesser” UC well. Both were excellent — and a smart, confident, highly motivated undergrad can get a college education at either school that rivals what’s available at any of the three top 10 private universities where I studied and/or taught. The main differences between top publics and top privates involve hand-holding, social networking, and scale — none of which is inherently relevant to quality of education (but each of which may matter more to some families/students).[/quote]
