<p>o yea, theres not such thing as a ghetto is the US. Go to a third world country and come back.</p>
<p>We beat U$C. The ONLY rank that matters.</p>
<p>And I actually liked Berkeley as a town. Sure, not as clean as Westwood, but it has personality! Plus, it's not as bad as some other college "towns". Not to point any fingers............comp...to..nn...</p>
<p>^But by only two spots... We should be getting worried.</p>
<p>we dont have to get worried cuz USNR does give advantage to private school... although USC cant pass UCLA... what a joke</p>
<p>What is wrong with compton?
Its not that bad</p>
<p>"o yea, theres not such thing as a ghetto is the US. Go to a third world country and come back."</p>
<p>That's not what we're talking about... Apart from places like people's park at night or other parts of Berkeley in the middle of the night, its really not a bad place. It's a city that caters to its people, especially college students... at least the area around the school.</p>
<p>I don't know if you're from the bay area or not, but I've spent a lot of time in Berkeley (I live pretty close) and I've never thought of it to be a bad place. Except people's park...</p>
<p>wow...i live 30 minutes from berkeley and can sincerely tell u if u go to people's park and not find that trashy and ghetto as a mofo, then u have judgment issues</p>
<p>I do, however, still question my decision to pass up berkeley.</p>
<p>If Berkeley's such a ghetto, why is the cost of rent at Berkeley on par with that of Westwood? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>hmm interesting thought: how exactly do you live off campus when you go to U$c... i mean isn't it kinda dangerous...?</p>
<p>does anyone know what ucla's undergrad engineering is ranked?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Student demand. Its not like they'll have anywhere else to live once Berkeley kicks them off campus.</p>

<p>If you don't mind stray and smelly bums, come to Berkeley!</p>
<p>I have no clue as to why living in Berkeley is soo expensive. It's not like it is SF. Anywho I used to live in Berkeley and it is pretty rough there. Mugging and harassment from people are very common there.</p>
<p>USC is too low, IMO; it's more like Vandy or Emory or ND, etc. I predict it will overtake UcLA in a few years, no big achievement, really, since UcLA is not that exclusive. On the other hand, USC, at least, has a more national student body. And both Cal and UcLA are majority Asian, whereas USC is more diverse.</p>
<p>Stanford is still leagues ahead, ha, ha....</p>
<p>IRT #51 - also, proximity to San Francisco, methinks!</p>
<p>how is ucla not that exclusive compared to usc</p>
<p>Did I just read some 'SC <em>love</em> up there???</p>

Honestly, what do you expect from UCLA being a state school? :rolleyes: Exclusive should be used more in the context of price and smaller student body in terms of USC.</p>
