Coming from PA, I’m used to state-related schools (Penn State) being more renowned for partying than for academics. I don’t know too much about the University of California schools, but I’m interested in them, especially Berkeley and UCLA. How well regarded are these schools? Do they carry a good reputation academically or are they just party schools as well? Thanks!
