As a highschooler hearing back from UCs and CSUs at the moment, this is true from the start. The UCs are magnitudes harder to get in to vs the CSUs, and are therefore more prestigious.

Anecdotally, a lot of people hold Chico at the bottom, and Berkeley/Cal at the top of CA public schools.

- MaxLeiter 9y agoI think UCSC is higher on the list of party UC schools
- kenhwang 9y agoUCSB is #2 in California, Chico #3, UCSC isn't even on the first page (#30). https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/top-party-schools/s/california/ https://www.niche.com/colleges/search/top-party-schools/s/ca...
