I deliberately didn’t diminish UCSD by comparing it to any name brands or even mention it in my analogy. It is a great school!

I do however identify a very few schools to be at the very apex of reputations. Caltech is one of them hence the analogy of having it all.

Not sure where the holiday inn came in but the photo you provided looks lovely.
