I attended the U.C. system in the 60s.

70s here. I was a 17-year-old sitting in class with mostly grizzled guys (in their late 20s - Hah!) - returnees and/or vets. It was an experience that I'm glad that I didn't miss, although I later emigrated and studied abroad. It was a college when I began, then was "upped" to university during my "tenure" ("CSU&C at S." to "SSU").

Somehow I get the impression that you were a Physics major, as was I. Or at least a Natural Science / Engineering major.

For years, I couldn't mention my "alma mater" without some joker asking, "Isn't that where the Art Majors dipped their asses in paint and sat on canvases with it?"

Actually, it was the Psychology Dept. But they ruined the reputation of our entire university for YEARS.

Nope, I majored in Psychology. But in my (and the university’s defense) it was ‘rat-runner’ psychology, not ‘tell-me-how-that-makes-you-feel psychology’. We did things implant electrodes/chemical cannulas in rats’ brains, that sort of thing. Much more real science than typical psych majors. In fact the department now styles itself the Brain Science department.
