Any ranking that places Cal over UCLA is always pleasing to a Cal grad regardless of their relative placement but that's another matter. LOL!😉
After taking a glance at the rankings, I was shocked to see how much it costs now to get a college education in America.
The annual in & out of state tuition (which of course does not include all other costs of getting an education) at Cal is $17,771 & 55,323!!!🤯
When I attended Cal, the cost of my then subsidized in-state tuition started at $35/quarter or $105/yr & ended at $135/quarter or $405/yr for which I am very grateful.🙏
Given the current cost of that education & the current lack of employment opportunities available to college grads, it's amazing that so many still want to get a college education & do go into a trade. 🤷
