| The Governor
His daughter, Katherine, is a freshman at SC. She graduated from the Brentwood School.

I guess this proves that USC is totally better that the decimated UC system. Note: I didn't just include the other school across town. Political correct: Send your child to a UC. Educationally correct: Send you child to the best school possible. (and Brentwood is a TOP private prep school).  | |

Regarding the UC system, were you aware that Michelle Obama is speaking to the first graduating class at UC Merced?

I wouldn't put my money on that! I read that the students had an email writing campaign to convince her to come.

I give the kids of Merced many points for initiative. However (since you live in California) we are all aware of how bad public education (k through 12, college and university) truly is. Many kudos to Katherine and SC for mutual selection. It is a tragedy that California education, once a hallmark of our state is in such disrepair. (My kids attended public school btw, albeit a good district. The district is good, but not nearly as good as it was when I went to the same school.)
My daughter, a USC freshman, said that her largest lecture hall is around 200 people. Her friends who go to UCLA sit with 1,000 other people. What a shame!
In the meantime, I'm thrilled for the class of '09 at USC. What an exciting graduation they will have!

^ I attended a public California high school and I am quite jealous of my peers who attended private boarding schools.
The schools raised them on proper values such as integrity, fairness, honor, and respect. I think this is something you can't put a price tag on.

Did you confirm that his daughter was NOT rejected from UC's? It is way easier to buy your way for elite folks in private universities. Does George Bush going to Yale ring a bell for you?

USC has a good history of helping protect the privacy of kids & family of celebrities...perhaps that is a consideration. Although, I don't know if there are any issues with that in the UC system, I know there are celeb kids who go to UCLA also.

| I'm pretty sure there aren't any classes at UCLA over 500. Only a few are over 300.
