[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I remember when UCSD was considered the third best UC school (behind Berkeley and LA), but Irvine and Santa Barbara have really come up in the world[/b].  I think a big part of that is San Diego is really provincial (I say this as a person who lived there for years) and is a place where people come for the sun and weather.  Most students live off campus in small group homes (more accurately hovels) in places like Ocean Beach since La Jolla is one of the most expensive and closed communities in the US, so there is not much school spirit or community.  There are a lot of complaints about a lack of class space causing students to take 6 years to graduate, but some of this is due to students who want to hang out in San Diego.

As others mentioned, San Diego State is a party school and has a more defined school community.

USD is very different (obviously smaller and private).  I found that people though well of it in San Diego because a lot of alumni work in the area.  I would not go there as a minority student.[/quote]

Another California person here.
I remember that too.   I graduated high school in 1993, and around that time it seemed the order went:

Berkely
UCLA
UC San Diego
UC Davis
UC Irvine
UC Santa Barbara
UC Santa Cruz
UC Riverside

UC Merced wasn't around then.

I was really shocked to see a few years ago that SB has surpassed Irvine, Davis, and San Diego.[/quote]
