which of California's major college campuses do you like best?

edsg25 · April 4th, 2005, 05:30 PM

It something to note that huge, huge California has its four most prominent, full universities located totally within its two huge metro areas (LA and Bay), two private, two public.

Which of the big four (or the Pac-10 four, if you prefer) do you like the best:
Cal, Stanford, UCLA, SC?

Which has the most "California feel" to it (to me, that would have to be The Farm in Palo Alto, with UCLA in 2nd)?

Which seems most eastern in layout? (my vote: Cal)

Which of the other California campuses rival these (I'd would definitely say UCSB and, for setting alone, UCSC)?

Which do you like the least (perhaps some CSU campuses with a real "institutional feel" to them)?

I love Stanford and UCLA.

I have to mention Pepperdine. What a beautiful campus.

Do you people have any pictures for us that have never seen a college campus in California?

POLA · April 5th, 2005, 03:56 AM

Berkeley

If you lived here, you might feel differently about things, LAuniverse. There's not only gown here, but also town. Both are interdependent and forced to coexist on a few square miles.

LAuniverse · April 6th, 2005, 11:02 AM

What's wrong with town? That dynamic is precisely what I like about Bezerkeley. But isn't this about campuses anyway?

Monkey · April 6th, 2005, 11:07 AM

Haha, you obviously enjoy the distance without the proximity, LAuniverse!

There's nothing wrong with Town -- on the contrary! It's the gown old timers are suffering from: Gown is taking over!

LAuniverse · April 6th, 2005, 11:16 AM

Oops I mean gown.

I lived in Berkeley for 5 years, Whose Homepage. Go Cal!

Monkey · April 6th, 2005, 11:23 AM

You *lived* here or you went to Cal, LA?

Believe me, there's a difference.

I *lived* here without connection to Cal, except briefly in 1971-72, when I worked @ their Institute of Library Research.

LAuniverse · April 6th, 2005, 12:46 PM

Went to Cal, lived off campus for 4 yrs. Lived near Sac and Cedar. Still not "town" enough?

Monkey · April 6th, 2005, 07:43 PM

Ah. So you lived here AND went to Cal!

May I ask whether you had a car?

squeemu · April 7th, 2005, 02:09 AM

Speaking of nice campuses, I rather like Caltech.

James704 · April 7th, 2005, 05:12 AM

UC-Santa Barbara

UZWEEM · May 17th, 2005, 06:48 PM

UC Davis. It's beautiful!

Four gorgeous university campuses. I wish I attended one of these four, instead of Université d'Ottawa/University of Ottawa in frigid Eastern Ontario! I would say UCLA is the nicest.
