CSU system isn't bad or anything, except many of them are known as party schools, like mine.
Which is kinda true. We can outparty UCSD any day!

And UCSB
DOESN'T have a party school reputation?
The school has three winners of Nobel Prizes and "UCSB's faculty includes many elected members or fellows of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (24), the National Academy of Sciences (22), the National Academy of Engineering (22), and the American Association for the Advancement of Science (38)". In addition, UCSB is one of only "62 institutions elected to membership in the prestigious Association of American Universities". Finally, And UCSB was named one of the 12 hottest American colleges in the
Kaplan/Newsweek How to Get Into College guide for 2003.
All this and they are still known as "University of Cheap Sex and Beer" and for drunk coeds falling off the cliffs.
