If Libertarians believe the private sector can do a much better job than government, why are you guys enrolled in a public school? I enrolled because I felt it was the best school for Engineering and Applied Sciences. The school is venerable, and established in the sciences, and manages to attract top faculty and research due to the libraries and research facilities such as LBNL that are in the area. Another important factor was cost, I really don't know how I could afford Stanford or USC, even with grants and scholarships. Of course convenience is also important, there are not too many other good schools close to LA. --nesim sisa
