I had a feeling that might be the case. The point is, all these schools tend to have higher percentages of students from their regions (and California is a very big region). I once asked a Princeton student who was from the Stanford area whether he thought going to school “back East” had broadened his perspective more than it might have been broadened had he attended Stanford. His response was something to the effect of, “Not really—there I’m just more likely to meet someone from Kentucky instead of Texas.”
