US News considers it among "the top tier of the UC system" along side UC Berkeley and UCLA. It's 30th placement in US News' highly regarded "Top 50 National Universities" is extremelely unique because UCSD is the youngest insitution among the group.

-A breathtakingly beautiful campus, home of the Banana Slugs.

-School some of the best programs in the country like astronomy and psychology. Great tennis and swim teams without a hyper inflated sports budget. Offers courses called History of The Beatles, and History of Bob Dylan.

-Not comprised entirely of hipsters, hippies, and stoners. Whatever stereotype you are identified as/identify with is most likely represented also.
