Davis is better - its a top 50 school and has better professors. In just about every department (even engineering - YES THAT'S RIGHT) davis is better.

University of California is more prestigious and cost more.

Well this depends on where else you are accepted.  Davis is a nice school to attend.  So if you are only accepted at lower ranked colleges far away, you really have no good reason to give your parents.  But let say you are accepted to UC LA for example, you can say that LA is a much better school, where you can get the education that is best for your abilities.  So  you can tell them that it is for your best interest and theirs that you attend that school so that you can better provide for youself (and maybe your parents) in the future.

I went to UCSB and had the time of my life, but I also earned a degree from a respected university.  It built its reputation as a party school and you can still party like there's no tommorow, but UCSB is ranked in the top 50 in US News Undergraduate Rankings and is one of the best schools in the country for some of its engineering departments.  \n\nBesides, do you really want to live in Stockton?  Santa Barbara will be the experience of a lifetime, and it's cheaper.  Do it....

Okie... here's a helpful tip that might narrow down your scope:\nBest college in What study/ program and preferably Where??

Berkely is the strongest on your list. UCLA is a good second choice, so apply to both. UC Davis should be your third choice. \n\nIf you don't go to Berkely for your undergrad, try them for your law degree. They have a fabulous, extremely well respected law school.

UCSD hands down. \n\nUCSD is the third ranked UC school (just behind Cal Berkeley and UCLA), and all UC schools rank above CSU schools in ratings polls in terms of prestige and selectivity.\n\nIf you want to attend UCSD, pick the Earl Warren college. It has fewer writing GE requirements, letting you focus more on science and engineering coursework. \n\nCal Poly is cheaper, but it is notoriously impacted. Seldom do students finish in 4 years. UCSD may be a large school, but it is entirely possible to finish in 4.\n\nWhile both are beach communities, La Jolla is way nicer than SLO. There's more to do in the area. SLO is sleepy as hell, and it's kind of a hick town.\n\nC'mon, you know you'd rather be a Triton.

I attended Cal Poly SLO for undergrad and UCSB for grad school. I really enjoyed Cal Poly, no grad students to waste the professors time and I also liked the small town feel of San Luis Obispo. Because Cal Poly is focused solely on undergraduate education you will get much more individual attention. I don't know much about the other schools on your list though. Make sure to visit each one to really get a feel for the campus and the people. Good luck!

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!

New York University's Tisch School of Arts\n\nIt's an amazing program and Spike Lee teaches classes. Anyone who is accepted should feel honored.\n\nI've also heard that Stanford University has the best on the west coast.

My daughter went to SCU and loved it.  Quality education, good social groups and a ton of fun.  UCI's having a bunch of trouble and controversy these days.

I believe Stanford University is the highest ranked of all California schools, placing 5th in the US News and World Report rankings (probably the best known college ranking system). It is also one of the better-ranked doctorate-level engineering schools, but there are other universities better in other areas.  Check out the links for more information, the second provides tuition, and student body sizes.  The first is a link to the Stanford University homepage, you can apply there should you choose to do so.\n\nThe best California universities in the rankings following Stanford are:\nCaltech at #7, UC Berkeley at #20, and UCLA at #25.\n\nhttp://www.stanford.edu/\nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/directory/brief/drglance_1305_brief.php
