[b]Don't expect a private school experience at an average UC[/b][/quote]
That was all that needed to be said.[/quote]

OP here. To be clear. I don't mind so much the admin incompetence IF it is limited to the administrative side of things. I don't need red carpet service. In fact, I don't want half of my $70,000 going to red carpet service. What I do want is stellar academics, and I started this whole thread because I'm worried that the administrative incompetence is a sign of general incompetence. But I don't know. That's why I posted.

Berkeley has a great education. UCLA has a very good education. There's no UC that's going to give you an incompetent education. What is DC's major?[/quote]
They're going to.get a good education!

They're large schools and not easy to navigate. It's like dealing with the DMV rather than concierge service.

It's funny to read this because I went to grad school at Berkeley in the 80s. The beauracracy was slooow and time-consuming (waiting in long lines, long waits for responses).

However, it all works out. I am just amused because it sounds like nothing has changed in all this time. (I had gone to a large private university before this and even with its large size, it was closer to concierge.)

But if you are patient, it will work out.[/quote]

Funny, I went to a Liberal Arts College, then Columbia Law. I described getting a transcript or something from the school as exactly a DMV experience. The whole workers in bursars office couldn’t give a crap,  They were bored, passive bitter.  Was wholly different at my undergrad school This was DMV and Post Office New York style, I think big state schools probably the same. I’ll see as DD heads to a UC in September. Didn’t want the small experience.[/quote]
