What's it like for an out-of-stater?

Sometimes the most courteous thing you can do when you produce mediocre children who major in useless subjects is to not reproduce.

</p>

<p>Why do you have the need to judge the relative worth of various academic fields? And why should there be a ranking at all? And what exactly are these “useless subjects”?</p>

<p>

californians tend to be more indifividualistic and anti-establishment. This is nothing concrete but its proven by state politics and anecdotally.

</p>

<p>Hahahaha. Oh that’s rich. Visit Orange County, then come talk. There are many individualistic and anti-establishment people in CA, but trust me, if you think they’re somehow an overwhelming majority, you haven’t seen enough of California.</p>

<p>Further, proving something through politics and anecdotes isn’t exactly proving something.</p>

Mom>>> Sometimes the most courteous thing you can do when you produce mediocre children who major in useless subjects is to not reproduce. Especially in a state like California.

<p>I suppose if my grown child spent all day on a college internet forum, year after year, bad-mouthing his circumstances and all the people he’s ever come in contact with in a particular state instead of getting out there in the world and doing something positive and healthy, I would have to agree.</p>

The same trend applies; californians tend to be more indifividualistic and anti-establishment. This is nothing concrete but its proven by state politics and anecdotally.

<p>Never go to South Korea then - you would hate it more than California.</p>

Never go to South Korea then - you would hate it more than California.

</p>

<p>And for that matter, don’t go to NYC, Europe, Japan, Singapore, or Hong Kong - you’ll hate them just the same.</p>

In general, you can’t really expect people to respect social mores and be as friendly as you would in the south.

</p>

<p>Unless you are a minority. Then they just stone you to death.</p>

<p>But bad jokes aside, which law schools did you get into? (I’m curious because you scored really high on the LSAT.) If you don’t want to share here, can I pm you?</p>

[dobby]

<p>He’s going to Columbia but was “unimpressed” with his acceptance results. (He didn’t get into HYS Law is what I’m guessing.)</p>

[NeedAdvice]

<p>WOW! Is all I can say. Columbia is my dream school. UGH. Seriously, it’s my dream school. I mean, c’mon, it’s ranked what, 4 in the nation? And it’s also in NY. Yeah, I’m jealous.</p>

[phroz3n]

<p>Yup, it must all be Berkeley’s fault. What a horrible institution.</p>

[nbanyk]

<p>i chose cal over columbia</p>

[phroz3n]

<p>^I’m pretty sure she meant Columbia Law School, which is 4th in the nation…</p>

[caughtbehind]

<p>If it matters, I chose Cal over Columbia too… but I’m talking about undergrad… and engineering… So it was a no-brainer!</p>

[nbanyk]

<p>ah, i see. my bad</p>
