Agree that our CC pathways into the UC System is unparalleled. There are absolutely outstanding professors and courses at a number of the CCs, and transfers into UCs are well prepared. Merced and Riverside are doing an excellent job with the students who matriculate there. For Merced, it’s a little bit of a chicken and egg problem as to developing the area around it so that it attracts more students. Curriculum at UCs is broadly similar on some levels – a degree from any UC is nothing to turn one’s nose up at. Remember when UC Irvine was one of the “bad” UCs, just a couple of decades ago? Look at it now. That’s Riverside and Merced next, particularly if/when a new campus gets added.
