Also, although UCSD is “ranked higher,” this isn’t really a ranking as much as it is a measure of some criteria. (spending in R&D)

<p>This is contradictory to your post #36 and #41 on this thread:</p>

Yes, Berkeley has better graduate programs than UCLA. But UCLA has the best hospital in the west coast; better than UCSF’s and better than Stanford’s (who recently recruited one of our hospital’s faculty members to head their hospital.)

UCSF is the higher ranked med school, which means that UCSF has what is considered the more prestigious faculty and research (at least for now). </p>

Sure, but Geffen is expanding. That should have an increase on its rankings.

<p>Berkerly and UCLA have very limited land to expand. UCSD and UCD have lots more land.</p>

Construction cranes sprout from the campus of UC San Diego like towering palm trees in the Southern California sun.</p>

<p>There’s a new engineering building under construction, and a new addition to the school of management. A new office building is now open, along with a new parking garage, biomedical research and marine labs, cardiovascular center, $400 million student apartment and dining complex, and $55 million music center. New clinical research and biological and physical sciences buildings are scheduled to get under way next year.</p>

<p>In all, $2 billion worth of brand-new facilities are in the planning, design, or construction stages at UCSD. The broader University of California system has more than 200 building projects under way at its 10 campuses and five medical centers, together valued at $8.9 billion. “The cement never dries on a UC campus,” Carolan Buckmaster, a researcher active in the UCSD faculty union, observed wryly.
