Agree except that I think the new UC should be in San Jose or nearby.

Random college takes: - top private schools should 2-3x undergrad enrollment - UC should build an undergrad campus in SF - UMass should figure out a way to compete with MIT (aka a elite undergrad eng campus in the Boston area)

It should start on the former CCA campus in SF. I love San Jose but it’s boring as hell for a college.

College is never boring, you're surrounded by college kids. Most colleges are out in the middle of nowhere.

New York State should intentionally build a UC-like system and massively invest in them too!

much easier for

to extanlish a downtown SF campus than create a new UC. upgrading SJ State to a UC is a great idea

Oh yeah - second idea is a really good one

There's long been rumors about SJSU turning into a UC. I think it would be a good idea. And hopefully they address the housing situation there too: nbcbayarea.com/news/local/tho.

Thousands of SJSU Students Struggling With Homelessness

As students at San Jose State gear up for final exams, an estimated 4,300 of them are focused on an even more pressing need: A place to sleep.

Students today already can get good education at non-selective public universities with quality on par with elite private schools. Challenge is how we can change private companies as well as federal government so all graduates get a fair shot at good paying careers.
