<p>ucchris,</p>
<p>USC isn’t a LAC, that’s true. But then again, neither are Dartmouth and Brown.</p>
<p>I’m not saying that there isn’t great opportunity at UCSD, nor am I saying that undergrads don’t do research. I never said that. What I said is that most undergrads are never going to touch the best stuff. That’s left to grad students and PhDs. </p>
<p>I’m not denying that UCSD is excellent. Hell, I’m here right now. What I’m saying is that research is not always the best thing for an undergrad-- even those in the sciences. USC may not offer the labs that UCSD or UCLA offer, but it may offer more students an opportunity to actually get into a lab.</p>
