I’m not saying the videos are bad, I’m saying they are trying too hard to make each campus it own wild and wacky, individual place. For instance, they harped on how sunny and warn and totally California Stanford is, when it has basically the same climate as everywhere else in the bay area. I have to also comment on the “pointing out what is obvoious.” Do you really think that everyone in the country knows that Berkeley is 50 percent Asian? Or that there are very few wierdos that go to school here? If so, I’ll concede that I was wrong, but I have a feeling that the way this video portrays us (wild, super-smart artists) is in fact the way most of the country views Berkeley, which is simply not the way it is in my view.
