   SactownConnection said: Well, I went to UC Davis, and I'd LIKE to stick up for it, but... A) the undergrad tuitions just got jacked up sky-high (there were straight riots at the main UC offices), B) there aren't that many parties over here (I mean, it's college, so you'll definitely find them, but we ain't CSU Chico or anything), C) some of the professors have that "can't bother with my classes and office hours and that sh*t, I've got to do research!" vibe going down, and D) all the girls are shy and there isn't much eye contact happening, so you'll have to find an alternate route to mack-daddy-land.
   
   But, I still liked it.

   
   
   The alternate route to mack-daddy-land?! Shiiiit man. Must be hardcore stylin over there. Impress those ladies with some crazy music. Sing random PUTS lyrics, and when they ask you "Hey what are you singing?"
   
   Say, "GOTCHA BITCH!" (thx dave chapelle )

   Lol, really all the UC Davis girls are shy? What about Santa Cruz?
   
   How are college parties compared to high school?

   I wouldn't say all of them, but a large portion of them. There's a huge asian population (there may even be more asian than white now, not sure), a large amount of east indian, and a smaller amount of latino and african american. I've heard Santa Cruz is a bit more wild, so you'd have better luck with the parties there.
   
   The high school parties that I went to were crazy as ape-sh*t, so it wasn't a big change for me. Also, Davis parties aren't knock-down, drag-out, call-the-cops kind of affairs, which is a good thing or bad thing, depending on what you want...

   Well I don't party at all (crazy parents) so I guess anything would be a change. Regardless I don't want to go to a school that's boring as sh!t on weekends.

   St. X is 103rd and Pulaski- Way Southside. Different Southside. IRISH Southside, not Black metropolis southside.
   But on the real for your colege choice- Most colleges have the same sort of scene- Get what you put. You need to make the sh!t for yourself, and while certain schools provide certain experiences, it should be up to you how it goes. Find a school that has a program your interested in and try it out. If it sucks, bounce. If you can find people to fit in with you and professors who care, stay. Undergrad is about teaching yourself to learn, not learning like in HS. Grad school is about learning like HS, only exactly what you wanna learn from learning about learning. ya dig?

    It depends on what you're planning on doing. For psychology, the top programs look like:
    
    Stanford, Univ of Michigan - Ann Harbor, Yale, UCLA, UCSD, UC Berkeley.

    Hell yeah, I feel you trench. When I was looking for colleges, I was on top of those lists too
    
    Its a rat race dude...just a big ass rat race. They got you all stressed out on college apps, SATs, grades, Subject tests, AP tests....
    
    You gotta jump through more hoops than Micheal Jordan just to get an education up in this motherf$cker, sh!t's ridiculous.
    
    If you are thinking of taking your education further (i.e. graduate school, master's degree etc) then your undergraduate education isn't as big of deal. Now, i'm not saying forget all the good schools and go to a community college, but you dont have to stress yourself as much to get into the top ten schools. Just make sure you get into a solid school, do well and have fun during your undergrad, then when grad school comes around, you'll join the rat race again
    
    Just my two cents.

    University of Chicago is considered the Ivy League of the Midwest. More prestigious than Northwestern.
