<p>I found a site where students review their schools. The negative comments about UCLA are very discouraging. They are basically saying that UCLA faculty are interested in researching and not their students, only cares about athletics, overcrowded classes, and etc…</p>
<p>it’s at: <a href=“http://www”>www</a>. students review.com
look up UCLA</p>
<p>…Do you think the profs at UCSD or UCB are going to be holding your hand?</p>
<p>that’s the same with ucb?</p>
<p>That’s wot i heard…full of GSIs…</p>
<p>I’m not expecting hand holding, but it would be nice to actually sit down with your teacher one on one during office hours and ask questions/discuss the material.</p>
<p>it’s same here at ucsd, don’t expect to get any attention from the professor, nor the staff. even counselors who’s job is to help, they don’t give a **** about any student because there are too many of us, i was discouraged and ****ed off at first, but my friends gave me a reality check</p>
<p>I guess us CCers are spoiled rotten, aren’t we :P</p>
<p>U know I think the professors at CC are probably the best. The small class size makes us closer to the professors. I’m prepared to be at UCs. I know that I might not get a chance to even talk to professors there. Here at CC, I can go see them anytime.</p>
<p>I love CC lol.</p>
<p>After reading the reviews there, I can conclude that
UCB - they say lots of “ugly girls,” can’t find a date, no social life
UCLA - snobby people who think they’re all that, professors suck, promote school too much</p>
<p>I dunno where to go >_<</p>
<p>UC Berkeley duh!!</p>
<p>For me, its a choice between UCLA and UCSD, even when I get into UCB, I wont go. I’ve had enough of Norcal coming from UC Merced lol</p>
<p>premed- you are from UCM? how was the school there?</p>
<p>Hey man,</p>
<p>That was a good link, thanks for pointing it out.</p>
<p>Hang on a second here.</p>
<p>Think about the types of people who are most likely to put a review on one of these sites. Basically, it tends to be a bimodal distribution: lovers and haters. You get very few “likers” or “lukewarmers” in the mix. Yes, you should look at opinions, but who’s to say that they’re actually indicative of most people? Or that it’s not just a bad sample to begin with?</p>
<p>Yeah, but it’s like when you buy a book on amazon. I always look at the worst reviews, then play the psychologist to figure out that individuals motivations and biases. It usually works.</p>
<p>Schools are, however, a bit more complicated than books. What may be a bad quarter could cause a poster on a site to launch into a tirade that, months later, could be far from the poster’s current opinion.</p>
<p>A classmate of mine once opined that his opinion of UCLA has changed considerably since he left, and he remarked that he had no idea what he missed out on at the time he was miserable from exogenous factors.</p>
<p>why do guys care so much about girls’ appearance?
Do we really have to be hot all the freaking time?
That’s why some girls are obsessed with their look and go through surgery just so guys can say “oh! she’s hot!”</p>
<p>Why y y ?</p>
<p>i use that site a lot to read up on schools</p>
<p>Of course UCBorUCLA. ^</p>
<p>Anthro 101 ftw :D</p>
<p>Sociologists would say it has to do with the way society pressures women and men to view themselves and the opposite sex.</p>
<p>Anthropologists would say that it has to do with evolutionary pressures on both sexes.</p>
<p>Economists would assume it’s just rational and then ask where we can derive marginal utility from it.</p>
<p>UCB guys are so mean. Almost every bad reviews mention “ugly girls”</p>
<p>What are ugly girls? We are all beautiful in our own way. lol</p>
<p>I think im pretty good looking. I guess that’ll boost up school reputation once i get in so UCB, accept me!! ;)</p>
<p>^^^</p>
<p>That post is useless without pics.</p>
