[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she was at private, she had small classes, teachers she bonded with, discussion based classes where her opinion mattered, and was able to get in all the classes she chose.

She will not have that experience at all at UCLA. Classes of 250+ mainly taught by graduate students, professors that are really there are only to do research and don’t care about undergrads, and no one really cares what you think. Classes are rambled info and you 100% need to take initiative in anything as you are left on your own. And others are right about course selection. [/quote]

NP: This is what gives me pause about the UCs - the overcrowding which affects housing, class sizes, graduating on-time, attention from professors, etc.

Students are still enamored of course, with the prospect of living on the West Coast and the name recognition of UCLA, Berkeley. But to pay $63K for my child to be in that environment, and just say "GOOD LUCK! You'll be fine." I would say, no, this is not a good investment into the education of my child.
