I find it hard to think of two more different cities in which to live. No offense intended, but you would not catch me dead in Merced/Fresno or anywhere near, and I cannot see a city girl wanting to be in the central valley rather than near Silicon Valley and San Francisco. I still think of UC Merced as a work in progress, although it did crack the US News & World Reports rankings of “national universities” this year. FWIW, that was with a 37/100 score while SJSU had a 47/100 in regional west universities. Your friend should do some research and determine which school is strongest in her area of interest.
