[ PROS ] - Oh my fucking god, the party scene. It's insane. If you know just a few people, chances are there are multiple parties for you to go to Thurs-Fri-Sat and often weekdays if you're game. You'll never be bored with nothing to do. - VERY good looking girls, and a high girl-guy ratio. - The dorms are crazy fun. - On the beach. - The Greek system party life is big, but the non Greek system party life is even bigger. - Weather is great. It rains a little in the winter but other than that, as good as you could ask for. - It's a great school for engineering and physics, other sciences are good, and the rest is average. - People are generally relaxed so you don't get ridiculous competition going on, but coursework is difficult and time consuming enough to make your learn your shit. - Engineering classes are small. I would say my average class size is 30, I even had a class with 6 people last spring. - Lots of good food in the local college town. - Professors are generally cool and approachable. - Good research opportunities for undergrads, at least for computer science (though I'm not talking Harvard style here). I'm not sure about other majors. - Generally you have a lot of room to take extra classes in your field that you are interested in, get some research experience, or just take it easier on yourself and take less units. - The university is rising in rankings and funding every year. [ CONS ] - Oh my fucking god, the party scene. If you walk outside in the main areas of the college town there are people running around drunk and screaming every night. You learn to sleep through a constant level of noise. Though I do choose to live in the middle of the crazyness so if you prefer quiet there are places to live. - It's distracting that people always want to party or go to the beach and such instead of study. Hehe. - The school is gaining respect but isn't at the level of UCLA, Berkeley, Stanford, or ivy league schools and such yet. | ||

Small school (732 people this year) 3. Part of the 5 Claremont Colleges (5 C's) for a larger community 4. Relatively nerdy, but there is a wide variety of ppl 5. Excellent parties and easily accessible alcohol if you want it 6. Good food, you can eat at any of the 5 C's 7. No graduate students, so undergrad research is involved and you can work with profs 8. Special relativity is widely joked about (first semester freshman year fizx is reletivity + quantum mechanics) and Gamma is now profanity 9. Starcraft is widely appreciated and played on a regular basis. Tasteless is broadcast every week in one of the lecture halls. Day[9] went here and graduated in '08. I can't think of any big cons right now. Mind I'm still in my first semester so my perspective is limited. Man Harvey Mudd is where I would have gone if I hadn't dicked around in high school. I'm changing my answer. Everyone should apply to Harvey Mudd | ||

Both are offering Masters degrees and I have no idea about either as I'm in Canada. lol davenport is kind of a joke school afaik.

1) PARTY 2) Still manages to be a sick party school and have decent academic standings (not great but w/e) 3) Huge campus/student body. Biggest campus in the country i think and 3rd most students. 4) Pretty fucking good at bball/hockey/football(okay not really lol) 5) Diverse (actually this is fucking annoying, all these stereotypical blacks and asians are fucking OBNOXIOUS) 6) Classes as easy or hard as you want them to be CONS: 1) it will probably be super cold in the winter | ||
