If you choose Merced, it’s likely you’re more comfortable in a closer-knit environment. Woohoo! Go Bobcats!

UC Davis has the number one agriculture program in the U.S. and anyone who goes there gets a lot of jokes about cows. Once you get past that though, Davis is awesome.

- You got: University of California, Irvine
Located in the heart of Orange County, Irvine is super-suburban. But kids work hard and play hard here, having one of the best Comp Lit programs in America (thanks to Derrida’s tenure at the school). Also, half the campus is on Newport Beach, which is pretty sweet. Irvine also has a booming Greek scene, because, it’s located in the über-suburbs, c’mon. At Irvine, you have an excellent mix of prestige and party, which is exactly what you embody.
