Transfer Students
1

<p>Non-scientific poll based on students surveyed at StudentsReview.com. When polled students were asked "if they would return to their chosen school would they do it again?"...shocking results.</p>

<p>UC Los Angeles 70%
UC Berkeley 69%
UC Santa Barbara 64%
UC Davis 57%
UC Santa Cruz 50%
UC Irvine 47%
UC Riverside 43%
UC San Diego 41%</p>

<p>You mean a poll of graduates asking if they would go back to the school they graduated from if they were undergrads again?</p>

<p>I just want to know for sure.</p>

<p>Biggest standout: UCSD!</p>

3

<p>The question is to undergrad students and is phrased, "Given the chance to go to a different University, would you? (Disregarding friends)." The polling numbers are pulled from current undergrad students.</p>

4

<p>the biggest standout isn't UCSD, it's UCD. I know a lot of people who get bored at UCSD, but UCD is ranked pretty high compared to the others and I thought it was pretty boring there. Since it's disregarding friends though...eh [shrug]</p>

5

<p>wow @ UCLA</p>

6

<p>Those results aren't shocking at all. By the way, I calculated 73.5% for Santa Barbara, how'd you get your results?</p>

7

<p>Wow...is UCSD really that bad? Would the results be different if they polled each of the six college student bodies seperately?</p>

8

<p>yea, im amazed that sd gets more of a shaft than ucr...also read the reviews on studentreview.com for sd...</p>

9

<p>futebolista - I'm too lazy to read the studentreview.coms, is the general consensus that UCSD sucks?</p>

10

<p>I've been tellin' people, "Yeah, yeah, UCSD sounds great, but that lack of a social life is a killer," and they just don't believe me.</p>

11

<p>startrak -</p>

<p>are you at UCSD right now?</p>

12

<p>I'm not sure how the results changed. The results for UCSB are now 75% in the positive. Perhaps there have been more reviews since this was posted. 75% is insanely high....more than UCLA.</p>

13

<p>Hehe, I've been checking UCSB for a while, and I know it's been around that percentage for a while :)</p>

<p>Anyway, I think those results are pretty consistent with the stereotypes schools have with regards to partying as well as being kind of close to the Alumni Giving percentages that each school has.</p>

14

<p>I'm bummed in the UCSD "happiness" factor.</p>

15

<p>Who would want to do it all again? I went to USC. Had a great time. Wouldn't want to do it again. I already did it. It's like asking a man on his death bed if he could go back and change something would he? Well, it's not an option. Woud you want to go back and repeat your undergraduate years? No. You go on to grad school. Would you want to repeat your high school years? No, you go on to college. Would you repeat the falling in love and child rearing years? NO!</p>

16

<p>I should have titled the thread, "pleased with their college choice?" That, essentially was the question that was asked.</p>
