I went to Davis (albeit years ago). Son went to Humboldt. We both had lots of opportunities that opened doors for us while we were there and after we graduated. Son was working with some UC grads last winter and the practical experiences and academics he had were above what the UC kids had. At the smaller school he found areas in which to excel and the faculty were more than willing to accommodate him with opportunities. Even colleges which are not “insurmountably better” can be great places to attend if the students investigate what they have to offer. As for the weather, well, can’t do much about that.
