<p>The UC system is equally excellent in providing a great education for all.</p>
<p>Just Because UC Davis is now lower than UCSB does not mean it is completely inferior. Each school has good points and bad points.</p>
<p>However, I think you would like to know something. Scroll down to view this pertinent matter.</p>
<p>UC DAVIS SURROUNDING CAMPUS IS NEXT TO A FARM AND COWS WHEREAS UCSB'S IS RIGHT BY THE BEACH!</p>
<p>OOH!!! WHOSE YO' DADDY!?</p>
<p>
Cripes wellendowed. Give it up..</p>
<p>Drox, let it go, man. Leave her to her dead board..
I wonder how you passed the reading comprehension in the SATs.</p>
<p>They're having a friendly competition. There is no harm.</p>
<p>
I actually feel a little sorry for you after that post. You are clearly crushed by the reality that UCD's lower ranking was due to an error.</p>
<p>Funny how you just labeled yourself ignorant. lol Read your previous post HAHAHAHAHAHAH. </p>
<p>"Smart way of putting it. For my bio major SB has much more research opportunities than Davis that will help my portfolio for a med school or research lab later on. I don't think Davis can boast having 7 nobel laureates that actually teach undergrad students. The easy going competition doesn't hurt getting ahead at SB either.</p>
<p>So saying "you have a better future at D" is very narrow minded and ignorant especially considering the wide range of merits for both schools"</p>
<p>Who are you talking to?</p>
<p>Shes talking to me. Im starting to feel a little sorry for her now, as well, r2. She actually went through my posts to find one I made like half a year ago. Get a life.</p>
<p>Wellen, you should just drop it, considering how youre supposed to be more mature than us freshman and all. Correct me if Im wrong, but arent you going to be a junior? Or was it a sophmore? Either way, you arguing with us to-be freshman is pretty sad. You should have more going on in your life right now. Or perhaps that isnt so, which still wouldnt warrant your petty arguing.</p>
<p>How many other peoples post history are you going to go through to humor yourself? Again, please get a life.</p>
<p>UCSB only has five Nobel laureates. I am not sure how many UCD has.</p>
<p>UCSB has many nobel laureates because they retire there. All of them are age 70 and over i guarantee. The same goes for UCI. </p>
<p>Still UCSB is not a sprestigious as UCDavis which has zero.
Nevermind nobels. it is not the main reason for a university's prestige.</p>
<p>I just looked up all of the Nobel laureates birthdates. Only Walter Kohn (Chemistry 1998) and Herbert Kroemer (Physics 2000) are age 70 or over. Alan Heeger (Chemistry 2000) is close, but he isn't 70 yet.</p>
<p>The two newer Nobel laureates, Finn Kydland (Economics 2004) and David Gross (Physics 2004) are in their 60s. I have seen Gross and he looks like he is in good shape right now...</p>
<p>65 is the retirement age. how long has the two newer laureates be at UCSB? are they under 65?</p>
<p>it says on the nobel prize website that Finn Kydland is a professpr at Carnegie Mellon University in pittsburgh.</p>
<p>"Still UCSB is not a sprestigious as UCDavis..."</p>
<p>According to who? YOU? hahahaha What makes you the expert?</p>
<p>Before you begin to spew out more (invalid) generalizations, you should probably check all of your sources.</p>
<p>Both of the new Nobel laureates are under 65. But before I go on I would like to mention that just a moment ago, you claimed and I quote, "All of them are age 70 and over i guarantee."</p>
<p>Finn Kydland is new and came here last summer. David Gross has been here for 8 years.</p>
<p>So neither has done research at UCSB then. They did it elsewhere and retire at UCSB. </p>
<p>So it can be assume they are here to relax and not engage in any special research.</p>
<p>Herbert Kroemer got his Nobel in Physics in 2000 while he was here in... unless you consider joining UCSB in 1976 not "early" enough. Walter Kohn, who got his Chemistry Nobel in 1998, joined UCSB in 1979. Alan Heeger joined UCSB in 1982 and he got his Chem Nobel in 2000...</p>
<p>did anyof these professors do their research at UCSB?? I bet most or all did in other more prestigious institutions</p>
