<p>I disagree that you would question a degree from UCLA. They are one of the highest ranked public colleges in the country, and one of the most beautiful. I would choose UCLA, partially because I am a bruin fan myself and their track team is phenomenal. If I am correct, the UCLA sprint coach was one of the sprint coaches at the Olympics in 2008. They always send runners to the Olympics and are constantly winners in NCAA competitions. UCLA is an incredibly well-respected school when it comes to academics and athletics (they are the first school to win over 100 national titles, and I’m sure track helped a lot in that count)</p>
