[quote=Anonymous]It's a very good school. Strong academics because they've spent a lot to improve them over the last 30 years or so. Professional/grad schools have always been strong.and still are.
It's big but not too big.
People love the football team. 
There is definitely a Greek presence but lots of other things too. 
Nice campus, iffy part of town but a bubble.
Not really close to the beach but you can drive there easily. 
Skews conservative.

It's quintessential California and most of the kids are going to be from LA and OC. 
It's different than the east coast. Lots of local types/stereotypes you will never have encountered before except in SoCal.
People have a ton of money. 
Lots of generations of people go there, very strong (and potentially annoying traditions or lovable depending on how you view these things) and strong alumni networks but only if you're going to stay in southern CA and it will not have as much cred in northern CA or outside of the state. 
Lots of kids who, say, take over dad's third generation general contracting or high-end real estate business. 
Business types, practical, though they have great humanities departments and the film department is tops.
