Don't know much biology

[cyrano]

So initially I was going to ask "UCSJ or U Santa Clara" but since I am the stupid, I searched for UC Santa Cruz and wow that looks attractive too. So, compare and contrast, students, considering that I'm probably looking at continuing either my History studies or my Political Science studies, or both. I'm leery of Santa Clara because it's not in the UC system and thus probably more expensive.

EDIT: Except of course that there is no such thing as UCSJ and it's SJSU which is still a public school just not necessarily in the UC system and thus possibly an intermediate class of expensive.

Reguarless of the fact that I am attending a state school, I am a biased snob and given the choice (and more money) would almost certianly attend SCU or another private university... they are harder to get into, thus you wind up with a higher caliber of student and they cost more but that's why you get smaller classes, better trained profs and, thus, more attention.

I disdane SJSU ever since the brief moment in undergrad where I considered transfering and was told I could not due to the fact that I did not have a 'speech class' (I already speak very well, thank you.) but I then watched them proceed to allow to person next to me in, who had not passed the TOEFL!!!!
yep.

:) Thank you for the opportunity to rant, 'preciate it. Good luck and pick the one YOU feel most comfortable at! (Checking out a class in your subject area is always a good idea.)

Yeah, given the choice, I would too. But I don't think I have the choice--even if I were willing to shoulder the extra debt, I'm an 'older than average student' and I don't know how willing they'd be to pony up for loans that I could afford to repay.
I should probably look into SFSU too.
PS: Hope things are going well for you. Miss seeing you.
