<p>It's really cute to watch the CCers get all worked up over a rumor from a party like 5 times removed.</p>

<p>You know what I heard? I heard that next year, Berkeley is going to close down FOREVAR!!! I got this on good faith from my friend's brother's mother-in-law who works for some UC office somewhere.</p>

<p>if they made a new UC where do you think they should put it</p>

<p>SnuggleMonster,</p>

<p>Contrary to popular San Franciscan belief, there is in fact an area of land in California north of the Bay Area.</p>

<p>I swear it's true.</p>

<p>Angljc1,</p>

<p>I'm all for a UC Del Norte. Or maybe a UC Shasta. Just imagine the fun tie-ins they can do with a UC Shasta!</p>

<p>"UC Shasta, the official UC of Shasta Cola!"</p>

<p>Sure, Davis is a small town, but throughout most of its history UC Davis was merely Berkeley's agricultural station and not a separate UC. And besides, Davis is right outside (essentially a suburb) of Sacramento which IS a big city, and the campus is only an hour's drive from the Bay area.</p>

<p>Redding is far more isolated from any large numbers of people.</p>

<p>UC Santa Cruz is probably the best kept secret of higher education in California. Why more people don't choose to go there over Riverside mystifies me.</p>

27

<p>^ Probably because many kids want to stay in so cal and that they too afraid of hippies. Nevertheless, UC Santa Cruz is really underrated in my opinion.</p>

<br>


<br>

<p>Because it strived so hard for decades to sell itself as the "alternative"/hippie UC. And most people weren't buying. They didn't want alternative education; they wanted a real one.</p>

<p>They've improved and reformed in recent years, but old reputations die hard.</p>

<p>ucsc = norcal riverside...</p>

<p>when i asked my norcal friends why they choose ucr they responded, "its better than ucsc at least..."</p>

<p>so i guess its just a matter of perspective.</p>

<p>the funny thing is, i've never even heard of ucsc until i was applying for colleges and i saw it as a campus. (i'm for socal)</p>

<p>The opposite with me, I never herd of UC Riverside or UC Irvine before I was a senior in HS. I’m from Nor Cal.</p>

<p>UC officials give nod to UCSC's growth plans
By ROGER SIDEMAN
(Santa Cruz) SENTINEL STAFF WRITER </p>

<p>SAN FRANCISCO — University of California officials agreed Tuesday to certify UC Santa Cruz's controversial growth plan and accompanying environmental impact report, in what campus leaders described as "a landmark moment."</p>

<p>The highly anticipated decision paves the way for UCSC to expand the campus north by more than 150 acres and boost enrollment from 15,000 to 19,500 students by 2020.</p>

<p>The plan is set for a final vote Thursday by UC's governing Board of Regents at a meeting at UC San Francisco's Mission Bay campus.</p>

<p>Tuesday's unanimous decision by a regents subcommittee came amid pleas from local elected officials to either reject or delay action on the plan. Local leaders have maintained that 4,500 new students would overwhelm the region's roads, water and housing supplies — as well as the government budgets needed to tackle those stresses.</p>

<p>"I come before you today to plead with you not to certify this incredibly flawed EIR which identifies so many important impacts that cannot be mitigated," Santa Cruz County Supervisor Mardi Wormhoudt said.</p>

<p>Wormhoudt and Don Stevens of the Coalition for Limiting University Expansion have suggested they might sue the university over its plan, after further analysis by lawyers.</p>

<p>UC attorneys have already sued the city over two measures on November's city ballot that aim to limit campus growth if the university doesn't pay for impacts of the growth.</p>

<p>Like all UC campuses, UCSC is under pressure to serve more of California's top students and to figure out how to add the necessary facilities.</p>

<p>"What we're really talking about is people, and the state's responsibility to future generations," UCSC's acting chancellor, George Blumenthal, told regents Tuesday.</p>

<p>No. UCSC is a tad better than UCR.</p>
