UCLA/Ithaca/Clemson/Washington/UNC/Miami/Alabama/Michigan

<p>@lottagirlz, do you attend either school? Yeah, that’s my concern with Clemson. Do I want to be an average fish at a really prestigious school like UNC or UCLA, or do I want to be a big fish at a not-as prestigious school like Clemson or Washington. For my sister, she chose average fish at UCLA, but I’m not sure what feels right for me.</p>

<p>@Recharge, haha, I have no idea yet. Michigan is just soooo expensive for out of staters.</p>

<p>@pierre0913, thanks so much. (:</p>

<p>actually it’s exactly 20, but since there’ve only been 28 ever contested it’s still pretty impressive (understatement). Of course contested is a loose term. Since the UNC coach was also the National team’s coach for a while, a lot of players ended up at the school after playing for him with the National Team. During that time, UNC won every single NCAA title. Since then, they’ve won roughly half.</p>

<p>That is still impressive. And I love watching soccer. (:</p>

<p>Yeah, UCLA’s soccer teams don’t draw a lot of fans. I went to most of the home games for both the men’s and women’s teams, and the number of fans is usually in the hundreds. It can also get cold (by LA standards), though the view across campus from the stadium (which is essentially one-sided) is incredible.</p>

<p>I actually find UCLA’s men’s team less interesting. They’re a perennial power (though the coach is somewhat questionable) but for some reason they’re just not impressive to watch. The women’s team plays a much more interesting style, though part of that may be how much better they are than most of their opponents. The women’s team has made the Final Four 7 years in a row, though they haven’t won a NC. They’ve had a bit of bad luck, losing on penalties, losing in extra time, losing 1-0 with the only goal coming on a penalty, and thrice losing to UNC in North Carolina.</p>
