What higher ranked schools are you passing on to attend davis?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Davis

<p>Ari, I don't understand your point. I didn't say you couldn't criticize my opinion. <em>Someone</em> is defensive. You can criticize it all you want, but it's like telling someone that they're stupid for loving chocolate instead of vanilla. It's senseless.</p>

<p>My opinion isn't poorly constructed. I've been to SoCal plenty of times. Everyone has a different perspective. Your example of the EU is irrelevent.. you're comparing a matter of perception and feeling to stating wrong facts. </p>

<p>I'm well aware that not all of SoCal is Hollywood... but that's the general feeling for me. Even my friends/relatives born/raised in SoCal admit the culture is very different. Some like it... others don't.</p>

<p>And yes, I've been to San Diego. And no, it's not the same as the OC or LA. I just don't like it for different reasons. It too has a unique culture and vibe that I don't mesh with.</p>

<p>I don't care if you think me not liking SoCal is silly or uneducated. <em>shrug</em></p>

<p>And don't get me wrong either, SoCal is fun to visit, too. I just wouldn't want to live there. And I'm not saying one is "better" than the other... I just like one more. Again, this is what perception/feeling/opinion is.</p>

22

<p>Also, if you'd have been to baseball games in San Francisco, Anaheim, and San Diego, the cultural differences would be more apparent.</p>

23

<p>inpltclycorrect,</p>

<p>I never said you're wrong for saying you don't like it. I'm saying that collegemom is skirting with untruths when she says "So Cal < Nor Cal."</p>

<p>Aren't we missing a major team? A very very IMPORTANT, pennant winning team?</p>

25

<p>Pennant winning? No. There hasn't been a pennant win out of California since San Francisco did it in 2002. Major team? Yes, but I'm going to have to assume its presentation is similar to that of Anaheim's.</p>

<p>Also, there's Oakland... which is kind of a NorCalized version of Anaheim (game presentation wise).</p>

26

<p>Huh? SF didn't win in 2002! The Angels did!</p>

<p>Sorry to break it to you, but SF hasn't won a pennant since it came to CA. At least that "other" team has. ;)</p>

27

<p>I'm sorry, but you're mistaken and clearly not a baseball fan.</p>

<p>A pennant means that the team won its respective league (National/American). </p>

<p>A World Series TROPHY means it won the World Series.</p>

<p>And the Angels used to be called the ANAHEIM Angels, which is what they were in 2002.</p>

<p>I forgive you for your lack of baseball knowledge :)</p>

28

<p>Grrr...I'm stupid. I meant trophy.</p>

<p>But, you will note that the Dodgers have a much better record in LA than the Giants do in SF. It's not just opinion. It's FACT. ;)</p>

29

<p>By the way, I knew that the Angels were the Anaheim Angels. Now they're the Anaheim Southern California Los Angeles Angeles of Anaheim in Los Angeles, but not Really. </p>

<p>Or something like that.</p>

30

<p>Much better record? Win-loss wise or postseason wise? Cite your source?</p>

<p>The Giants have finished at the bottom of their division only once since they moved in 1958.</p>

31

<p>Actually, I'm just kidding. The only thing I know for certain that the Dodgers have more of than the Giants is World Series appearances (and a slightly better winning record, with .333).</p>

<p>Other than that, they're pretty even ballclubs. But when are you guys gonna win a trophy, huh?</p>

32

<p>this year! :)</p>

33

<p>Yeah, and the Dodgers are going to beat the Yanks. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Either way, I think that both Nor Cal and So Cal offer different things, but that saying one is better than the other borders on fallacy/fiction. That was really my only point.</p>

<p>Plus, collegemom still hasn't explained why a bigger campus = a better school.</p>

34

<p>Wow, did I start all this just by saying that Irvine was a higher ranked school?</p>

<p>LOL. </p>

<p>Oops.</p>

35

<p>No, this was started by "people" arguing that the Giants are even worth mentioning in the same breath as the Dodgers.</p>

<p>Pshaw, I say. Pshaw.</p>

36

<p>^ That post doesn't even deserve a response, coming from someone who didn't know the Angels play in Anaheim or that a pennant is not a World Series trophy. :)</p>

<p>I get your point, UCLAri, but IN MY OPINION I like NorCal better. Therefore, in my eyes, NorCal > SoCal. The end.</p>

37

<p>Wha? Since when did I say that the Angels don't play in Anaheim?</p>

<p>Besides, you, Mr. Baseball, should know that they used to sublet Dodger Stadium.</p>

<p>And the trophy mistake? Totally my bad.</p>

<p>That's fine. Good. Congrats. It still doesn't explain how Davis having a bigger campus means that it's a better school than UCI.</p>

<p>'Sides, I'd choose Davis over UCI anyday, so there.</p>

38

<p>^Cool. Why all the fuss in this thread if most of us would choose Davis over UCI? E-hug.</p>

39

<p>i think most of us are in this forum for a reason lol we all <3 davis.</p>

40

<p>Let me clarify why I would choose Davis: I just think they have a better Japanese program. Both are equal in terms of poli sci (good, not great), so that's a non-issue.</p>

<p>Ultimately, UCLA pwns all, so nyah. :P</p>
