I dont think its fair to be measuring ucm to stanford. I mean stanford was built in like 1824 for gods sake people! Uc merced was built in 1995. ( stats may be wrong.. check them)</p>
<p>Stanford had 183 years to advance
versus
UC Merced had like 12 years to advance..</p>
<p>183 vs 12....hmmm

<p>UC Merced opened its campus in September 2005 as the first research university to open in the 21st century.</p>
<p>So it's been around 2 years, not 12.</p>
