Has anyone here turned down UCLA for UCSD?

I’m obviously not encouraging drug use, I just think it’s funny as heck that bongs are available on campus. Relax.

A few other things for the person who asked a few posts ago, Revelle is truly it’s own college. It has a huge common area, its own store and snack shack, a giant cafe and almost everything else you need. The other colleges look less, I don’t know, . . . classy.

The supposedly scary Revelle GE requirements can largely be wiped out with a decent set of high school AP courses. (The counselors encourage this!) One girl we know there is graduating in 3 years, and it was not hard. My kid plans to take most of the rest as part of the abroad programs, and do the basic science core at UCSD. This is going to be an amazing experience for him.

Revelle is known internationally. A Japanese doctor friend was asking about Revelle a few years ago and that was the first time I had heard of it.
