Of course it’s absolutely gorgeous! the only thing i thought was kind of sad was that the faculty member who spoke for the welcome to the College of Letters and Science (I think he was the Dean) compared the UC’s to the CSU’s basically putting down the CSU’s. That didn’t feel too good with my daughter who has just spent a great day at Admitted Students Day at Cal Poly. He basically said that CSU’s prepare the student for their “first job”, while the UC’s prepare a student “for life”. We spoke to faculty at Cal Poly and discussed that we were also looking at UCSB, and she was very positive encouraging my DD to do what feels right for her. I don’t think there’s a one size fits all - i just didn’t like the snobbishness of it.
That’s a huge turn off. The CSU is a great system, the only drawback is lack of adequate funding.
Wow!
Mean-spirited.
