Don't expect a private school experience at an average UC

That was all that needed to be said.


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?

Yeah trust me, I didn't chose. My DD chose.


Ok then stop interfering. You get what you pay for - and in your case you are paying for a *public* institution that does not cater to students as “consumers.”


I'm not interfering. I'm trying to figure out if the admin issues are emblematic of a wider problem.

Should've never subscribed to h3ll hole California. You're embarrassing your kids and destroying their future. It's honestly abuse.

William and Mary is public and not like this

I just had to get off the phone after nearly yelling at them for getting our bill wrong for the third time. You just haven't experienced the nightmare that is dealing with their incompetent staff.

Wrong, unlike h3ll hole Berkeley, Virginia Public Colleges know how to run a university system. We have perfect bills, no crime campuses. You should have shame and be fearful.

Sadly, this…. The UCs even UCB are not run like top privates despite having incredibly talented faculty and students. If indeeed its UCB it will be worth it in spades despite the hiccups
