What's the difference between a good college and a descent one?

Question

Why people say UCLA is better than UCRS?

whats the difference?

Answer 1

There are a lot of possible differences - the quality of the faculty, the quality of the students (selectivity), the facilities (especially things like labs and studios), the options available to students, the desirability of students to employers, the number of services like study abroad and student research, the partnerships with other organizations, etc.

A big one is the intellectual climate on campus. I'm assuming you are talking about a comparison between UCLA and UC Riverside (Usually called UCR, not UCRS); one of the things I've heard about UCR for years is that nobody there feels very strongly committed to the place. In my experience at two graduate schools, one of which was considered the top school in my field, and the other of which was top-20, but not at the very top, it seemed to me that at the top school, there was a sense that everyone associated with the place was proud to be part of such a successful enterprise and wanted to be part of it. At the other school, they did all the right things, but without soul. People were always comparing themselves negatively to those at other schools, and no one seemed to leave the place feeling that they loved it.
