Hey, if moonpaulsj chose Merced, no problem. Getting a full ride at Merced would be enough to get me over there. My experience at UC Davis hasn’t exactly been skittles and beer. Class sizes are ridiculously huge, and I’ve only met one or two engineering professors of whom I got the impression were eager to help. Most others would say during office hours, “Well, if you look at the solutions I provided at the beginning of the year…” I went to a CCC, where I was taught to avoid looking at the solutions like the plague. Now it’s a first resort. Too many of my professors wanted no student interaction. Somehow, I had the credentials to get into grad school with a letter of recommendation of one UC professor, one postdoc, and my community college engineering instructor. I can’t wait until I graduate on June 10th.
