    I came with in an inch of going to UCSD but I decided on UCSB instead. I grew up in San Diego so I knew I'd have ended up living with my parents if I'd have gone to UCSD. Besides one look at Santa Barbara and all the girls on the beach and I knew which school was for me.

    UCSD is a good school with a nice campus but it's not very diverse and everyone commutes so there isn't the sense of community there is in other UC schools. Still, it's near the beach and La Jolla is nice.
    UCSB is good for physics.

            Northridge is a good school...

            UCSD is good for biology, especially marine biology.

            UCSB is good for engineering, and is one of the only UC with geology as a major.

            Most state schools are good, and like the UCs have a specialty, not sure what Northridge's is.

            I went to UCD... that's why I am famillar with the Sac are Oerdin, spent 7 years in that area.

                California has two public university systems. California State University system is meant for the top 50% of the student body and is legaly required to be affordable for most students in the state. That means $3k-$4k per year last I checked (that was a good 5 years ago though). The University of California system is for the top 10% of the student body and is designed as primarially a research University system and costs considerably more then the CSU system.

                Both are good schools though the UCs tend to be better funded because they get research grants and the best teachers & researchers tend to be found in the UC system since they'll get the money to pay for their research so they can make a name for themselves.

                Below the UC & CSU is the public Junior College system which is open to anyone who wishes to further their education. Classes are dirt cheap (around $11 per unit) and student aid is available. Most JCs have classes orientated to students who plan to transfer to 4 year schools or to people who want trade certifications (IT, car mechanics, policemen, welders, and the like).

                        Everyone here just wishes they were at uni in Wales.

                          Zylka aside the UC system has been widely accepted as the finest public university system in the world. We certainly get the most noble prizes and the most new research done.

                            To be blunt, why I am not going to the UC system is simple.. my parents have another person in university to support, my sister.

                            I am sure the UC system is very fine but I am not getting anything less valuable in the CSU system. I got into a discussion with MtG about this, but assured him the CSU school I am going to is just as good as any UC one.

                                I know. They are well funded too. A friend of mine from NZ spent a term at Berkeley a few years back.

                                Anyway, anyone who is diabetic has the University of Toronto to thank for them still being alive. And we've had Northrop Frye, Marshall McLuhan, and that guy who won the Nobel Prize a few years back.
