<p>Stanford or Ucal</p>

<p>^ Amen. Kinda ironic that the Manhattan Project started at Cal with all the hippies running around. Berkeley is also the king of chemistry.</p>

<p>Stanford’s got a choke hold on computer science, though. Google and Yahoo? Ridiculous.</p>

<p>The Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.</p>
