[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son got into Yale and felt like it would be too much of a "frat-bro" environment and chose Stanford instead.  After spending a weekend at Yale he told me "I feel like I'd accidentally be friends with guys who date rape girls but don't think of themselves as rapists."

DD got into Brown and chose Berkeley instead. Both kids felt like California kids are smart and strive to do well, but without pushing other people out of their way. [/quote]

Heard Berkeley is very Asian heavy. Not very diverse. That will a problem to dc. [/quote]

Can you imagine if somebody wrote "I heard that [insert name of college] is very Caucasian heavy.  Not very diverse.  That will be a problem to dc."?

I don't think a comment like that would go over well.  For that matter, I don't think it would make sense.  As a group, Caucasians are pretty diverse.  Well, guess what?  So are Asians.

I do agree that Berkeley is reputed to be the most studious of the colleges in the UC system, and that, as a state university, it can't be as warm and nurturing as most liberal arts colleges.  But come on.
