How’d the meeting go?
Anyway I’m thinking of doing a semester at the University of California next year. Is the San Diego campus good? Cool perks, bad stuff etc…? [/quote]
x2 Could some give a quick overview of the local colleges?[/quote]
I graduated there from Marshall College as a Physiology and Neuroscience major.
My POV for the colleges are:
Marshall- (Ethnic studies themed) Well rounded. I have tons of fun in the dorms. The buildings are setup so that each floor has 2 dorms with space for 8 girls on one side and 8 on another. Also has best food usually and open the latest.
John Muir- (Environment themed) Known as the lazy ass/best college to start off in since it has the least amount of GE requirements. Closer to the center of campus and is also a good choice. To me the food sucks here since it has a vegetarian emphasis.
ERC- (Women’s Power themed) Where the majority of the better looking and smarter girls are. It’s like a subconcious thing where they are all drawn to there just because of the college name. Also houses all international students too so take that as you will… they are known to be hard party-ers. Has the most amount of GE requirements as well as some of the most difficult. Has the most high-end food which means better quality but a tad more expensive than most of the other dorm-food places.
Revelle- First UCSD college. Also has some of the hardest GEs. Nothing really note worthy except that people inadvertently choose this place and regret it later.
Warren and 6th college- Not worth talking about. Avoid unless you are an engineer since their GE requirements also fulfill a lot of basic classes for that major.
In my opinion, best place to have FUN is 1) ERC, 2)Marshall, 3) Muir without regard to GE requirements. Reverse the order I listed if you want to go from easiest GEs to hardest.
Major downside here is if you are into partying is that we do not have a greek row which equals much less partying here but if you are well connected or diligent I’m sure you could find them. However, if that is what you are into, SDSU might be a better choice in terms of partying. opportunities.
Hope that helps. Feel free to ask questions.[/quote]
This would have been helpful when I was looking at ucsd and confused about the colleges, lol. I ended up choosing SDSU because of female population. Prob go to UCSD for Grad school though.
