Question

Hi

I need information on those four colleges. Lots of Information. Campus description, average incoming freshman GPA, location, class sizes, tuition, living areas on campus, and pretty much everything about the college. Links are needed. I'm not having a lot of luck googleing it, so I would like some help.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You aren't having luck googling them because you have the names wrong. They are:

University of California at Berkeley
Stanford University
Sonoma State University
Pennsylvania State University

You can get lots of information on them at Princeton Review's web site. The link is below.

Answer 2

It relies upon on what you pick for to pursue and the place you pick for to stay, prepare or do in spite of which contain your degree. they're the two universities with a countrywide attractiveness. Penn State is greater socially remoted because of the fact of its region, so which you haven't any longer have been given lots exposure to city existence and centers. BU probable has greater of a international attractiveness than Penn. Boston is a lots nicer and exciting place to stay, so I even have been informed. on the different hand, in case you do no longer decide for to be tempted via the "vast city," and lose learn time to its activities, pass Penn.

Answer 4

First of all, you might want to go onto the College Board's website, which will give you all of the admissions information on all of these. The site is www.collegeboard.com. Sites for each of the schools you mention are:

www.berkeley.edu, www.stanford.edu, www.sonoma.edu, and www.psu.edu.

Answer 5

Hopefully you will learn to spell the schools correctly by the time you get there -- I couldn't even recognize that you were talking about Sonoma.
The Princeton Review publishes articles on what students say about the schools they attend. Here are some excerpts for you:

UC-BERKELEY
"Prestige" and "opportunity" often popped up in students' descriptions of University of California—Berkeley, a school universally acknowledged as one of the top research institutions in the nation. Incoming undergrads here know they've been admitted to an academic mecca, home to "many Nobel laureates" and "an extremely challenging, top-notch educational experience." Students say that the faculty here, "even the lecturers, are simply amazing. Faculty members are renowned researchers with world-class recognitions and awards. The lecturers are major executives and/or experts in the relevant industries; they truly enrich the Berkeley education by bringing into light the life applications of the disciplines they teach." Opportunities for undergraduate research "are abundant, and with some effort, just about anyone who's actively looking for a job (research or not) on campus can find one." Students warn that nothing comes easy here. "Be prepared to fight every inch of the way, because this is not a school where a professor will take you by the hand and lead you to the promise[d] land," writes one student. Another observes, "Academically, Berkeley is harder than it looks . . . [professors] do not inflate grades, so if you score the mean, you will get a B-minus/C-plus in the class." A huge school, Berkeley allows students access to "an amazing number and variety of courses" and "teaches them to fend for themselves," but also means that "you have to learn things the hard way, which isn't always nice."

STANFORD (Average GPA: 4.3)
Considered by many as the West Coast's one-man answer to the Ivy League, Stanford offers "a mix of incredible academics and a laid-back atmosphere" that many exceptional applicants choose over the likes of Harvard, Princeton, and Yale. That "laid-back" thing is significant. "Despite the fact that Stanford is academically rigorous and demanding, Stanford students very rarely get depressed," undergrads agree. "Sure, it gets stressful at times, but you learn to deal." The "downright fabulous" members of the student body and "the great weather" might provide some potent coping mechanisms, but the faculty really helps to make "Stanford a very well-balanced university." Professors are "interested in getting to know students personally," so much so that they "literally beg students to attend office hours." Of course, this is a very prestigious, research-driven university with a wide range of departments and faculty, which means that not every professor is going to hold a student's hand. Academics in the larger departments can be "very impersonal for a private school." Outgoing or aloof, Stanford's professors are lauded as "the foremost minds in their fields. You take classes from people who write the textbooks that everyone else uses." Along these lines, a sophomore tells us, "My freshman year I was able to take classes from a former Secretary of Defense, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, a Pulitzer Prize–winning author, and a Nobel Prize–winning physicist." The in-class opportunities are supplemented by frequent visits to campus by "leaders in the fields of literature, music, science, and statesmanship."

PENN STATE (Average GPA: 3.53)
At Penn State "You can do anything you want" academically because with "over 160 majors" to choose from, "There are unlimited opportunities" for every undergraduate. Such vast resources are typical of a sprawling public flagship university, but it's the personal touches that leave students "pretty impressed with how such a large school can run like a small one." For example, "Professors do a lot to facilitate personal interactions." They are "really easy to talk to both in and out of class, and they're always accessible." Unfortunately, it's not always a professor students end up with: "They do use a lot of teaching assistants, which can get frustrating." Still, professors are "thought-provoking" and "You can tell that a lot of them really do want to be teaching." If you can manage to get into it, the Schreyer Honors College's "rigorous" curriculum presents "tremendous opportunities." In addition to more challenging courses, it "offers incredible amounts of money for study abroad, internships, and faculty co-ops," and its students get perks like "priority registration for classes." Administratively, "Penn State is a huge machine . . . run with amazing efficiency." Credit is given to President Graham Spanier, who is praised for not only "holding office hours" and "responding personally to e-mails," but also for being "very involved in student life." Despite having "created Late-Night Penn State and the News Readership Program," he also finds time to be the "advisor to the magician's club" and "play the washboard in a bar downtown." Perhaps the greatest long-term benefit of a Penn State education is "the social networking." With an alumni association of over 159,000 members and growing, opportunities for success through networking are "well in your favor" at Penn State.

SONOMA STATE (Average GPA: 3.23)
Californians seeking a first-rate public-school education that allows them to "take a step back from the fast pace of the city without taking away the fun and activities" look to Sonoma State University, a rural campus that is "very relaxing and beautiful"—but also close enough to San Francisco and Sacramento to benefit from the activities these cities offer. Standout programs here include the Hutchins School of Liberal Studies, which offers interdisciplinary instruction that fosters "cross-disciplinary development of critical-thinking abilities" (many Hutchins students ultimately pursue teaching degrees); a "wonderful" psychology program; a business program that "is very well put together, with very helpful, good teachers"; and "excellent health care and science majors," including a unique environmental management and design program. Students love the fact that the small size of the school allows for "a very personal connection between the student and the professor." Size constraints conspire to make it "harder to get the classes you need," however, and this causes some frustration. Respondents report that "many students take more than 4 years to graduate" because of these limitations. Great funding for the library, on the other hand, means that "it's the best you'll find anywhere, thanks to a donation from Peanuts cartoonist Charles Schulz."
