<p>Some schools I want to apply to:</p>
<p>UC Berkeley
UC San Diego
Harvey Mudd</p>
<p>(And UCLA but I really don't care if I don't
get accepted because I really don't want to go there)</p>
<p>What are the friendliest schools in Cali, and what are your opinions of the kindness of the student body at the above schools?</p>
<p>Although I'd prefer to go to a school that is more selective, I want this thread to be about schools in general that are friendly in Cali.</p>
<p>Thanks! :]</p>
<p>Come on people. No one knows of any cali schools with a nice student body?? :[</p>
<p>It's probably impossible to measure which college has the nicest people.</p>
<p>I've been accepted to UC Davis and am waiting on Berkeley.</p>
<p>I go to a high school where a majority of the faculty are UC Davis alumni and I've been asking a lot about the school. Every single one of them have commented on how friendly Davis students and residents are. Although it is still a very selective and high-ranked public school, it does not have the extremely competitive (and sometimes not-so-friendly) atmosphere that Berkeley is known to have. So, I would definitely put Davis on your list.</p>
<p>Well of course you can't measure it. But I'm saying from your guys' experience, which college has the nicest student body. Maybe you've gone there or a friend goes there.</p>
<p>I go to Davis, and I agree with hHallmark. It's been a really amazing place for me. I obviously can't speak for everyone, but it's been positive in almost every aspect; thus, I sing its praises!</p>
<p>Agree with Davis. I have a friend who currently attends the school and first thing he mentions to describe the school is friendliness.</p>
<p>from when I went on visits - definitely Davis. Santa cruz a close runner up.</p>
<p>Seconding HMC. Also, Pitzer.</p>
<p>^ No one mentioned HMC as being friendly. ;)</p>
<p>Santa Clara University -- not only students, but faculty and staff as well, were the friendliest people my son and I encountered among all of the colleges we visited.</p>
<p>I'm hopefully attending a summer program there (Santa Clara).
What other schools did you visit?</p>
<p>SCU was the only CA college we visited. Most of the others were in the Pacific Northwest, New England, or AZ (our home state).</p>
<p>I agree, SCU's student body consists of the friendliest people!</p>
<p>Claremont McKenna?</p>
<p>Okay.</p>
<p>So we have:</p>
<p>UC Davis (several votes)
HMC (and CMC)
Santa Clara U</p>
<p>Any other ones?
Does anyone have an opinion on Berkeley or UCSD?</p>
<p>how about Pomona?</p>
<p>Santa Cruz is pretty friendly.</p>
<p>UC Davis
UC Santa Cruz
Claremont Colleges
Santa Clara Univ.</p>
