<p>Really? Then where is Chapman, Santa Clara, U of San Francisco or Golden Gate University? They’re all located in the bay Area. </p>

If Manhattan College made it to the top 30 list primarily because of its location, why didn’t Columbia? </p>

The problem with you is that when I say a school is not as prestigious as Berkeley you consider it bashing already. There are a lot of schools that are not as prestigious as Berkeley yet they’re probably 10 times more desirable schools to go to for college education than Berkeley. For example, Williams, Amherst, Carleton, Shwarthmore and Pomona are not as prestigious as Berkeley, yet every single one of them is more likely a much desirable school for undergrad education. Harvard is way more prestigious than Harvey Mudd or Dartmouth, but as you can see, both schools are performing better than Harvard in this ranking. </p>
<p>Now, I did (sarcastically) ask for USC as most of its students and alumni often sell it as a school with very strong alumni network, and that going there would enjoy the support of its alumni as opposed to a UC school. If there’s some truth to it, that would have reflected on this survey. USC is a smaller school to Berkeley. It would have been much easier to track down their alumni and get better data collection for this survey.</p>
