<p>Yeah. The whole Bio department (all the majors) is impacted.</p>
<p>also, is alcohol allowed in dorms?</p>
<p>^Is the drinking age 21? RAs and RSOs (resident security officers) aren’t allowed in your actual room, but they can go in your suite if they feel like anything is going on that shouldn’t be going on. That’s about all I can say. Try not to do anything stupid. And it’s perfectly legal to have sex in your room, but generally in bad taste to have sex in your room with your roommates in there with you. :P</p>
<p>With regards to the libraries- I work at Geisel and from what my boss told me, they’re going to be closing CLICS, the Biomedical library, and the Science and Engineering library. S&E has already been closed and the collection merged with SSH (they’re housed in the same building- Geisel. Geisel now houses SSH and the Arts library). The CLICS and BML collections will be partially annexed and partially merged with Geisel, but no one knows for sure. No one knows exactly what any of it means yet, as they’re still making decisions, but my guess is that it’ll mean Geisel gets a lot more crowded.</p>
<p>Hey everyone! I’m new here and I made a thread about undeclared majors but no one replied So I though I’d post here instead!
Basically, I got admitted to UCSD as an Undeclared major and I REALLY want to major in biochemistry or something bio related so I can go to med school in the future. I have read that since all biology majors are impacted, I have to complete a few quarters before switching majors so my question is, can I still take biology classes even if my major is undeclared? And will there be any restrictions on classes I can take? Oh and do I have to choose a major first before I change majors?</p>
<p>You don’t need to be a biology major to go to med school. It’s popular, but by no means necessary.
You can be a biochemistry/chemistry major, which is through the chem department and isn’t impacted.
Well, obviously if you need X number of biology classes to apply to get into the impacted major, they have to let you take those biology classes.
You can take any biology class as long as you’re not restricted by the prereqs or class-standing requirements (see course catalog to view requirements per class)
Undeclared –> any major is still changing a major.</p>
<p>I just received the email saying that I am admitted by UCSD two days ago. Does anyone know when the admit packet will arrive? I live in SF…Thank you for answering:]</p>
<p>How hard is the Human Development program?</p>
<p>Are the dorms at Warren really small? I was thinking about getting a triple–to save money, but I think I might just do a double. </p>
<p>How is the academic competition at UCSD? I heard that people at UCSD back stab each other when it comes to classes. Is that true? I hope not! </p>
<p>How is the social life at UCSD? I heard of the Triton eye… is THAT really true? </p>
<p>I’m scared because I got into Warren ( my first choice was ERC) , as a bio major. My friend told me that it’s an engineering school, and there are mostly guys there. I’m a girl, so I’m kind of scared that I won’t fit in with the people at Warren! </p>
<p>What are the main differences between these colleges?</p>
<p>^Yeah, the dorms are pretty small, but not horrible by any means.</p>
<p>I’ve never seen people stab each other in the back. Most students seem really helpful to one another.</p>
<p>Your social life is what you make of it. And as far as Triton Eye goes, isn’t that technically a good thing in the long run? Ha ha. But really, maybe the girls here on average don’t look like Kim Kardashian, but there are a lot of really smart and sweet girls which to me is way more attractive then dumb and fake. There’s this really cute girl I’m interested in right now in fact. ;)</p>
<p>There are plenty of bio majors in Warren and it’s definitely not mostly guys. I don’t know where you heard that from.</p>
<p>The only real differences between the colleges are GEs and housing.</p>

<p>I know that pledging to a frat isn’t as…eccentric as movies make it, but what are some examples of things you have to do to pledge a frat?</p>
<p>@ JeSuis</p>
<p>ahh physics… the everpresent 4th hour.</p>
<p>After the physics series, for any time you’re in YORK 2722, you’ll always have memories of how you managed to successfully dominate the weekly quiz by cramming the day before and how terrible the lecturers with big accents were.</p>
<p>@$KingsElite$ Thanks ! WHOO! That made me feel a little better. Hahaha</p>
<p>So I listened to a physics podcast because I’m weird, and the prof was pretty terrible (understandable, but terrible).</p>
<p>hahahahha… jesuis… physics profs are usually from europe with heavy accent, but they know what they are doing…</p>
<p>Haha okay, well it’s hard to get an accurate impression from a podcast.</p>
<p>@ physex It really depends on what frat you pledge for. Some of the strictly social frats (the IF’s or the multicultural) do haze, no doubt, especially the multicultural ones which are more “unofficial” and don’t have to follow as many rules as the IF’s or the Panhellenic sororities. But once you get in, it’s worth it if you’re into partying and that sort of thing. The professional co-ed frats tend to make you undergo a longer and more time-consuming pledging process–i.e. you get your letters later when you activate. They make you do interviews with a certain portion of their active body, and some require you to dress professionally at their meetings. I know for one frat you have to interview a regent. </p>
<p>For professional frats you have to attend the rush events and then receive a bid to pledge (for the non-professional social ones you have to rush and get a bid too). The level of selectivity varies depending on the presumed prestigiousness of the frats. I’m aware of two co-ed professional business frats on campus, for example, of which one is really really rigorous and exclusive whereas the other one isn’t as much. </p>
<p>Don’t rush your Fall quarter though unless you’re really confident in your ability to maintain your GPA AND your new non-frat friends.</p>
<p>Wondering if it is worth going to Admit Day and what activities are there?</p>
<p>^ it’s not a bad idea, but by no means necessary. you can get a good feel for the school on any given day by sitting in on classes and walking around and talking to people. for information, visit the admit day website.</p>
