I actually came back from a UC tour. here are my two cents of each campus

Cal - had that whole “prestigious academic” feeling to it, tons of tradition on-campus, has a cool tower!, housing is a little weird insofar they are spread-out, tons of hobos (some are pretty cool though)…

UCLA - the stereotypical “college” feeling (probably because most college films were filmed there), nice buildings, housing hill is pretty sick, nice surrounding town, frat row is awesome, tons of life… even on weekends.

UCD - huge. tons of bikers. can get pretty hot. lots of trees. has cows. buildings are new-ish looking. literally a college town.

UCSB - nice campus, sick beach, crazy party-life. i dont know though, if you are going to take academics seriously, ucsb is going to be hard, lol.

UCSD - the campus didnt impress me. it’s huge and reminds me of UCD… but with less-buildings and barely any life. the library is interesting to look at but once you go inside, reminds me of a community college library. the whole 6 college thing really divides up the school. but hey, la jolla is nice and the beach there is sick…especially for surfing.

UCI - a giant donut. very “asian” if you know what i mean… nice buildings but tons of construction. school is definitely a commuter school. nice surrounding area.

UCSC - very “woodsy”-like. great place to get high. other than that, wasn’t impressed at all.

i didnt care to see UCM or UCR… so bummer.

hope you enjoy your college tour. it’s really fun, especially when you go with friends. definitely check out Cal’s Campanile… when you are up there, it’s really impressive. great view!

Go Bears!
