3rd best UC

<p>We all know UCLA and UCB are the top UC schools, but where do the others fall? (This would be your personal opinion!)</p>

<p>Canidates:
UC Irvine
UC Santa Barbra
UC San Diego
UC Davis</p>

<p>I would rank them</p>

<ol>
<li>UCSD</li>
<li>UCD</li>
<li>UCI</li>
<li>UCSB</li>
</ol>

<p>LOL UCSB below Irvine ?
Here’s mine:
3. San Diego
4. Davis
5. Santa Barbara
(a big gap)
6. Irvine
7. Santa Cruz
8. Riverside</p>

<p>I live in California and the reputation UCSB gets is big party school and UCI is becoming more and more selective.</p>

<p>I would rank UCSB above UCI. I say this for several reasons:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>UCSB has some great academic programs in physics and chemical engineering. UCI’s programs aren’t quite at UCSB’s level.</p></li>
<li><p>The small Creative Studies program is unique among UCs.</p></li>
<li><p>UCSB is much more of a college town feel. UCI is too much in a master plan community wasteland with too many commuter students.</p></li>
</ol>
