Good college on the west coast for an average student?

<p>Borflis.
I would recommend Occidental, Santa Clara University, St. Mary’s College (Moraga, CA), University of San Francisco, University of the Pacific, University of Redlands–all good schools where you might have both a good chance of being admitted as well as possible scholarship/financial aid. All of them value having good out of state students and each has an excellent academic reputation, particularly among California employers.</p>
