Any Questions about UCSD?

<p>Then again, I guess in a library I’d be working with 100 other people in the room.</p>

<p>I’m in a double with one of the most quiet, considerate roommate ever and I found I couldn’t study in my room (a lot more to do with my inability to focus around an internet connection then the presence of another person in the room). There are dozens of nice, study conducive places on campus which are not necessarily libraries.</p>

<p>^ like where? i’m the type of person who needs absolute silence to study, so if they really are closing 4 libraries next year that’s gonna suck for me lol</p>

<p>libraries.ucsd.edu plus unused classrooms, plenty in york that aren’t locked until super-late</p>

<p>many people say getting a single hurts social life, is that true for anyone (im in revelle by the way and i hear people there are antisocial anyway, can anyone confirm?)</p>

<p>Is it true that if u are a ucsd student it is twice as hard to get into their medical school. also is ucsd a really hard school compared uci?like class wise? </p>

<p>Please help I’m so confuse on where I should go?</p>

<p>@ gs whoops: I’m currently a freshman living in a single in Marshall College, and I’d have to say that being in a single really shouldn’t affect your social life. I opted to live in a single because I didn’t want to get stuck with a roommate I didn’t like, and singles are just…really, really nice if you enjoy your privacy (like if you don’t want to have to go to the bathroom to change, or you sleep at odd hours into the night). Although I’m living in a double next year, the pros of living in a single definitely outweighed the cons for me, personally. This is because I knew coming into college that managing a social life would require a little bit of an extra effort, being in a single, and I worked hard to get to know people during Welcome Week and join orgs later on. So if you find that you’re really dependent on other people to have a social life, then maybe a single isn’t for you. If you are more independent and take charge and know that you’ll make friends anywhere you go, definitely consider a single. It’s nice. </p>

<p>As for Revelle kids, I’ve never experienced that they’re particularly awkward by any means–all the friends I have in Revelle are pretty normal to me (my idea of normal anyway)–although I have heard them complain about the awkwardness of Revelle. But just because you’re placed into a college, doesn’t necessarily mean you’re “stuck” in Revelle. It’s not like you can’t make friends with people from other colleges. Really, you will meet a ton of people. The only classes you really take with other Revellians are HUM courses (correct me if I’m wrong) or GE courses, which obviously students from other colleges have to take too.</p>

<p>I’m sorry my post was kind of disorganized let me try again.</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Is it true that if u are a ucsd student I is twice as hard to get into their graduate medical school? Like I heard that ucsd likes to get other people from other colleges so they will limit the number of students from their own college to be accepted.</p></li>
<li><p>How is sixth college? I got in with human biology. Did the right school? Lol cause I chose it since I love art xD also is there alot of writing inthis school? Are yes hard?</p></li>
<li><p>Is it easy to switch colleges (like if I wanted to go to Revelle) </p></li>
<li><p>Is it really that easy to switch majors As people have said? Also do you know anything about their nursing program?</p></li>
<li><p>Is ucsd really a hard school to maintain a grade? I mean I know it was hard to get in but is it even harder to stay in? </p></li>
<li><p>How about the neighborhood around ucsd? Is it boring? Or are there alot of shopping malls and activites to do outside?
Sorry for all the questions I want really make sure this is the school for me :)</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>yes, as long as the major isn’t impacted, it’s as easy as filling out a form. (google ucsd impacted majors if you don’t know what that means) and we don’t have a nursing program nor school. dunno where you heard there was one.</li>
</ol>

<p>@astrina yah i noe impacted xD as for the nursing oh really lol thats funny cause i saw it on their site [Nursing</a> at UCSD Medical Center | La Jolla, San Diego](<a href=“Services for Healthcare Professionals at UC San Diego Health”>Services for Healthcare Professionals at UC San Diego Health)</p>

<p>and for my question #2 i meant to ask are the GE’s hard? (details please)</p>

<p>@gswhoops</p>

<p>The thing with singles here is that they aren’t stand alone rooms in a hall. All rooms are set up in suites so it’s no harder to be social than if you were in a double or triple.</p>

<p>^ Yeah, when I realized that getting a single, double, or triple doesn’t really affect your social life I was pretty mindblown.</p>

<p>So… I read through the entire 83 pages of this thread lol. I guess I’m just a littttleee excited about sd :)</p>

<p>^Good first post. You are wise young Padawan senior.</p>

<p>Star Wars 4,5,6 >>>>> 1,2,3 forever.</p>

<p>Anyone agree?</p>

<p>Now for a relevant bit, having a single is nice; if you have the cash, fork it out since queenselite made the good point about the suite-system our school employs. A double or triple will probably not change your social experience too much. Unless you like to have deep conversations at night, in bed, as your world fades to black.</p>

<p>^Funny .</p>

<p>i know this migth be a little inappropriate to some…but how is the sex life, meaning, is it legal to have sex in your dorm room???</p>

<p>and can anyone describe their a brief description of what their daily schedule is like? and how many classes do u take, and how much is considered too much?</p>

<p>Yes you can. It’s legal as long as you’re both 18 and have “consented” to the action (meaning no one is getting raped). Another great reason for a single!</p>

<p>Part 2: Depends on your major really. Most people take 3-4 classes… and the times certain classes are offered vary. Try to schedule it so you can have a lunch/dinner break if needed/possible.</p>

<p>is general biology considered an impacted major?</p>
