I'd suggest you study GRAMMAR and SPELLING.  You won't get into ANY college with writing skills like that (at least you shouldn't).\n\nCollege = university.  Well, technically, there are differences, but functionally they are the same.\n\nCareer school would be a place where you don't get a college degree, concentrating instead of job skills (ie, HVAC classes, welding, etc).

I think you should pick a major, and look for a school that has a good program for your major.

Find someone who specializes in what interests you most and then find what university they are associated with.  Its the people who are most important.

Go to University of California Irvine - it is a better school, your friends are there and they are giving you more financial aid!\n\nIt seems like your only reason for picking Riverside is because it is closer to your home and the honours program. This is not good enough reasons and you will regret it.\n\nWhen I was looking at Universities, I applied and got accepted into London School of Economics, but turned it down and chose one nearer my home town, The University of Bath. Both are good, but I wish I had had the experience of London and the potential of the school to take me onto new things! I am now only 1 1/2 months from graduation and still don't feel like I have lived the way I wanted to.\n\nGood luck!

figure out what you can afford, then pick a place where you'd like to spend your time, then pick a school you'd like to go to in that area.  There's a kazillion of them so pick where first.  I'd say New England for the scenery and the seasons.  And UConn if they have what you're looking for.

i think that's dependant upon what you are looking to study. i would compare the rankings in the quality of each for the major you are considering and then base your opinion from that.

Depends on what you want to major in. Stanford, USC, UC Berkley (Cal), and UCLA all have great business programs. The Cal Poly system has great schools if you are looking for the sciences. Most schools in the UC system have good medical programs. Try the link below to get more information on the type of college you are looking for.

You're the only one who can pick the right college for you. It not only has to fit you academically, but personally as well. And lots of things come into play there: academics, lifestyle, finances, etc.\n\nAt first, most people start with a search that's pretty broad. So, think about what sort of school you might like: large, medium or small; urban, suburban or rural; northeastern US, southern US, midwest...things like that. Also think about what sorts of majors you might like to study, any extracurricular activites that are important to you, whether or not you'll live on campus. Think about type of school as well - specialty/technical school or a broader university; women's college or co-ed; close to home or far away; etc. Make a list, if you'd like, of the things you really want in a school, and the things that you definately don't want. \n\nAll of these things will help you narrow your focus. You don't have to really decide - you can say, "Yeah, small or medium sized school, anywhere in the Northeastern US or NY, with business and engineering as majors..." It doesn't have to be super-defined, but at least you'll have narrowed it down a bit.\n\nTo find colleges, a good first place to start is your local bookstore. They should have copies of college guides there - things like the Princeton Review, and Peterson's Guide. These books try to rank schools based on various criteria, and they also give brief blurbs about each school. You can also use their websites - I've given the links, below. \n\nOnce you figure out that you might be interested in a school, you can check out their website, and ask them to mail you their brochures. If you like them, later on you can try to visit the campus.

As a CA native, born and raised......all are good schools that you mentioned. USC is great, but the location it is in can be described as " Ghetto " and it's in a really bad part of the Los Angeles Community. Although that has nothing to do with the school itself. \n\nBerkley is great and would be a good choice! UCSB is good, I had some friends that went there but it isnt better than Berkley or USC.

Are you talking about the different academic majors that a school offers or what? Im not sure exactly what you are after.

this is a question that is asked often by students who don't know how to choose a university.  you can see which one is the "best" by going to the US News and World Report College Rankings website.  What will you find out there?  Absolutely nothing...except that the most expensive schools are supposedly the "best."  my advice to you is that you find something that you like and find the school that offers that.  then, visit these schools and see which one is the best for YOU.  each person is different and all will have a different experience at each place.  \n\npersonally, i loved uc riverside...wouldn't have traded it for anything else :)\n\nand another thing: UC's (Santa Cruz, Irvine, Riverside) don't offer fashion design or court reporting...and i'm pretty sure that Cal States (San Jose) don't either...so, it looks like you're out of luck with all of the above schools.

I don't know these schools or your area, however I wouldn't take OFSTED reports as a definitive reason for choosing.  Having just been through the minefield of choosing a school for my children I sympathise with how difficult this can be. \n\nI would suggest you visit the three schools on your short list.  All good schools welcome visits from prospective parents and should be happy to show you around.  Ask questions on things that are important to you such as what reading schemes they have, what standards of numeracy and literacy are the children reaching/expected to reach at the end of their first year, what are their policies on bullying, sports, etc.  If there are particular things in the OFSTED reports that concern you raise these with the headteacher whilst you are there.\n\nGood luck, I'm sure you'll make the right decision!

Not entirely sure I get your question, but here is a stab at it. There really isn't one best school, and choosing a school is really partly a match between you and the college. All other things being equal, though, you want to go to the most prestigious college/university possible. This isn't meant to be "elitist" but I do think that having a great academic pedigree gives you more options about where you are likely to be hired to teach later on as a professor.
