What university in california is best.?
366252
UC Berkeley, hands-down, is the best public university.  That's why UC Berkeley is the only UC school who gets to call themselves simply "University of California."  That's why when you say I go to "Cal" it means UC Berkeley.  Each state designates one university to be the flagship state university, and in California "Cal" is the one.  Cal also remains the highest ranked UC in all major ranking publications.\n\nP.S. However, if you are considering private schools (i.e. Cal Tech, Stanford), that's another story.

The top 10 best universities in the world are in the United States and England.  Some include, Harvard Univ, Stanford Univ, University of Cambridge, University of California - Berkley, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Princeton University.  Of course, the idea of the best university is largely based on opinion, but these schools are chosen because they excel in many important factors.

It depends on what field you are looking for. In engineering Berkeley was rated as top university.  But I think overall Harvard is the best in the world.

Berkeley because the college scene there is unlike any other...where else are you going to have a naked guy?  Everyone there is very chill and open to new things, unlike UCLA which is a bit more uptight and USC which is just a bunch of rich kids.  Also you'll be close to San Fransisco which is one the greatest cities in CA.  Good luck where ever you choose!

Being from the Boston area, I can recommend, Boston College, Boston University, or the University of Massachusetts.  The latter has had very good teams over the last several years.  As to the West Coast, I can't help much there, as I don't follow there teams.

California has a lot of wonderful colleges, and there is no "best" one, with one possibile exception that I'll talk about in a moment. Mostly, I will suggest the things you ought to consider in deciding what is best  for *you.*\n\nThe first question you should ask yourself is what kind of environment you want.  Your main question refers to the best college, and the additional information says that you are interested in going to a university here.  In the United States, "colleges" and "universities" are not exactly the same thing, even though we often use the terms interchageably.  Generally, a place that calls itself a "college" will be smaller, with only (or at least mainly) undergraduates.  Colleges offer fewer students in a class, more interaction with professors, and a more intimate environment.  Universities are larger, and California universities are often especially large. This means big classes, especially in introductory courses.  More than 100 students in a classroom can be common, and 500 is not unheard of.  But because universities have major graduate programs, they also have more research going on, and they often attract the most famous professors. And their large size can be a virtue.  What you give up in intimacy you gain in diversity.  A university with 30,000 or 40,000 students will almost certainly have groups with interests like yours, no matter what those interests are.  A college that has only, say, 1,500 or 2,000 students cannot support as many clubs, activities, and groups.  \n\nThe other major consideration is what you want to study.  Few institutions--college or university--are equally strong in all subjects.  That requires research on the particular subjects that interest you.  You might want to start by asking what are the best schools for psychology, or physics, or engineering, or business, or whatever.\n\nThird, how hard do you want to work?  Some colleges just attract students who want to spend days, nights and weekends studying.  At the opposite end, there are places where the attitude is so laid-back that weekends effectively begin on Thursday and end on Tuesday. Only you know how much energy you are prepared to invest in study time, so only you know where you fit on that spectrum.\n\nNow for my actual recommendations.  Remember that I said there was one exception to the rule that "no school is best?" If you are a science student, and if you are prepared to work your butt off, Cal Tech (the California Institute of Technology) simply cannot be beat by any other school in California, and probably not by any other school in the world.  It has world-class professors, many of whom are Nobel prize winners, plus small size (unusual for a top-rank science institution) and pleasant weather.  But Cal Tech is not for literature majors or anyone outside the sciences.\n\nBeyond Cal Tech, here are my personal recommendations as schools that I would want a child of mine to look at if they were going to school in California: \n\nLarge public colleges:  University of California at Berkeley, University of California at Los Angeles, and University of California at San Diego.  There are other public universities with wonderful programs in specific areas, however, and you should not limit your search to these if you want something in particular. (UC at Irvine has a program in beer and winemaking, for example, that is unique.)\n\nSmall private colleges:  The Claremont Colleges, 5 separate but related schools in and near Claremont, California.  Each has a particular focus (history and law, science, a women's school, and so forth), but each enrolls its students separately.  Also, for women, Mills College.\nLarge private university:  Stanford.  This is probably as close as any California institution comes to being all things to all students.  It is medium sized, has a world-class reasearch program, and even has highly competitive sports program, if that is signif

Berkeley without a doubt is harder. University of Phoenix - if you're talking about the one on every other block - isn't a real university and - if there is a University Phoenix in Arizona - its not very reputable.
