Does UCD prepare you for a job?

<p>

I got into UC Davis, but it is garbage compared to Cal Poly SLO… Davis leaves their graduates out to die, while Cal Poly litterally hands their students internships and jobs during and right after college…</p>

<p>Also you have to look at where you will be living for the next 4-5 years…</p>

<p>Davis’ weather is either extremely hot or extremely cold… Also it smells like cow and horse ****… What is there to do in Davis? Nothing.</p>

<p>Really think about your decision… Look at Cal Poly, UCSB, and UCSD over Davis

</p>

<p>You’re right, UCs do not do that, and that’s because they focus on something entirely different than CSUs.</p>

<p>CSUs teach you real-world practical knowledge, which as you pointed out, mainly revolves around what to do for a career. As such, they actively search out internships and jobs for you to complete your education.</p>

<p>UCs, on the other hand, are entirely different. UCs focus on education to expand knowledge moreso than the real-world applications of it. Because of this, they’re more concerned with giving you more of a depth and breadth of knowledge than your future career itself. Also, [and forgive me for this next part, those of you who do not agree] UC students generally have more initiative, and actively search out their own opportunities. UCs recognize this, and so they do try to help you because it’d be a wasted effort on their part, since their students are likely to find the same opportunities on their own.</p>

<p>This is just my opinion, and in no way is fact, so feel free to disagree with me.</p>
