<p>Just doing this to pass the time 'til 4/30. So, how would you rank the UC's in order of PERSONAL preference?</p>
<p>How I'd rank them for myself:
1. Cal
2. UCD
3. UCSB
4. UCSD
5. UCSC
6. UCLA
7. UCI
8. UCM
9. UCR</p>
<p>Personally, I'm from SoCal and couldn't stand living down there, which is why I ranked some schools lower than other people would.</p>

<p>UCLA ( i rank the first becux i got accepted first)
UCB ( the town suks the most!!!)
UCD ( the town is quiet and a good study environment)
UCSD ( bored campus life ever!!!)
UCSB ( party school, ppl dont focux on school work)
UCI ( no idea…)</p>
<p>1) Cal
Always wanted to go to Cal. Didn’t apply this time because I knew I wouldn’t get in, but I’ll work hard wherever I end up going and I’ll shoot for grad school. </p>
<p>2) UCSD
Top choice right now. Pending. Love the city, love the campus, love the weather. Only downside is ridiculously high housing prices (I’m thinking of The Village)</p>
<p>3) UCLA
Grew up taking field trips to UCLA campus and wanting to go there. A lot of my family are UCLA alumni. It’s a great school, beautiful, and I grew up in LA county so it gets a +1 just for nostalgia.</p>
<p>4) UCD
probably where I’ll end up going. Don’t like the ruralness, hated the campus, don’t like the college town thing, but academically it’s better than UCSC and UCR which are the other UC’s I’ve gotten into. Can’t think of many pluses right now. Go Aggies?</p>
<p>5) UCR
I know, surprising that it’s so far up the list. But it’s 40 minutes away from where I live now and two of my good friends live there. And I kind of like the city of Riverside actually. And I know their English program is pretty decent, so yeah.</p>
<p>6) UCSC
very pretty campus. Lots of stoners. Kind of far away from everything though.</p>
<p>7) UCSB
I ranked it lower cause I don’t think I’d really fit in there, total party school and everyone looks like models and I hear it’s totally Greek dominated. And it’s all beachy 
I don’t like beaches much.</p>
<p>8) UCI
I can’t stand Irvine. It’s boring and lame and I don’t get a sense of personality from it like I do in SD or LA or Berkeley and Davis. It’s like a fake city. Too clean. I have a lot of family in Irvine and I never see them because I don’t ever want to go up there. On the other hand, it’s a good location, close to everything in LA.</p>
<p>9) UCM
I don’t have to explain this one do I?</p>
<p>huh I heard SB wasn’t that big on Greek like, lol, effing internet forums haha… Does anyone else know about the greek life at D or SB</p>
<p>^^ yeah, UCSD is in the affluent part of San Diego. I say just live in Pacific Beach and just drive/bike/bus it to school.</p>
<p>^I probably will after the first year. I want at least one year of living on campus and having “the college experience,” whatever that is, lol.</p>

</ol>
<p>Hahaha, UCSB is probably the LEAST greek dominated UC. Very few people see it necessary to join a Frat/Sorority because its so easy to find a party without them.</p>
<p>And just because UCSB parties, doesn’t mean they don’t focus on studying. That’s just stupid.</p>
<ol>
<li>Cal</li>
<li>UC Davis</li>
<li>UCLA</li>
<li>UCSB</li>
<li>Irvine</li>
</ol>
<p>These are the only ones I applied to :)</p>
<p>@drahumada Which is the most greek dominated? I hear Cal is pretty heavy on the stuff</p>
<p>@DrAhamuda Uhhh, I have nothing against partying. When did I say that? I just don’t think I’d fit in at UCSB knowing the kind of people that go there.</p>
