<p>Here’s my brief list of faults and stereotypes for the UCs. (Disclaimer: I’m a proud UC Davis alum). </p>
<p>UC Berkeley: Derelicts wander the streets of the town, and getting good housing is difficult.
UCLA: in the middle of LA = everything is expensive and traffic is ridiculous.
UCSD: Dull social life.
UC Davis: Mooo!
UCSB: Partying surfers
UC Irvine: Suburban commuter school. There is no There there.
UC Riverside: Smog capital of of all SoCal.
UCSC: Stuck in the hippie era and focuses on concepts like Cosmic Consciousness and other “alternative” nonsense.
UC Merced: The UC penalty box. Shouldn’t have been built in the first place. Build It and They Will (not) Come.</p>
