hey, i’m a second year and wanted to help you out by answering your questions…


there is a P/NP option for classes but your major/GE may require that you take the class for a grade (such as MMW, for example)
Campus housing is guaranteed for freshman (though you should sign up for housing now because it doesn’t cost anything extra…you don’t even need to do your Statement of Intent to Register to sign up…it takes about 5 minutes and you are more likely to get a spot in Eleanor Roosevelt College instead of over at Revelle), and you can take advantage of the two year housing guarantee that UCSD offers if you would like
everybody has their own desk, and the printers can go on the floor under the desk if it takes up too much room on your desk…
there is an escort service at night, you just call 858 534-WALK and someone will meet you and walk you…
um…by main campus I’m assuming you mean Price Center area (by the library)…like mentioned earlier, the walk takes about 10 minutes and there are various ways you can walk back, the most popular method is through the “forest” which is basically a group of trees that has a worn path through it and that cuts the walking time…it always has a lot of people walking through it during the day…though it’s a bit scary walking home at night through the trees…the longer route via the main walk area is just a couple of minutes longer and is pretty well lit at night…remember you can always call the escort service, free of extra charges!
You’ll find that the closest classroom is right across the street (MMW discussion) but that the other buildings are generally only about a 7-10 minute walk (ie Peterson Hall, Solis) from Eleanor Roosevelt College…however, if you need to take science classes the walk is generally 10-15 minutes because you need to get to buildings like York Hall and Warren Lecture Hall


Hope that helps :)
