Opinions about North Campus?

<p>Math isn’t too bad in terms of workload. Music and art are definitely more intensive which, in my opinion, is probably due to it being based on creativity and expression rather than understanding and studying.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>What other majors would you recommend pre-meds take, since you know, there is not a dedicated “pre-med” major at UCLA. Physiology is probably the most medically relevant major offered here. </p>

<p>The majority of pre-meds I have met are indeed in it for the money. These people coincidentally are coerced by their parents to become doctors even when they secretly wish to do other things. If they are defiant enough they will change majors within their first couple quarters, otherwise they will go the whole way kicking and screaming on the inside. They know who they are. Fortunately there are a rare few that do this because they love it and willing to make sacrifices for non-monetary benefits that come with being a doctor. </p>

<p>But really, aren’t we all here to get higher education to succeed in building healthy and financially secure lifestyles for us and our future families? It’s something I keep in mind when I catch myself being as prejudice as slllunc’s post sometimes. </p>

<p>As for the OP, I think North Campus are beautiful people, not just physically, but they are more colorful in general. I would definitely prefer a relationship with someone who is focused on their future but also recognize the value in companionship. Down to earth people like this do exist in South Campus, but they are more abundant in the North. </p>

<p>Part of the animosity could be do to the instances where a NC friend could harass a SC friend for not prioritizing fun over school; these could include studying instead of partying on any given day of the week. SC friend would then openly berate NC characteristics of this lifestyle. So OP, you are definitely valid in saying that it is an unfair and unusual treatment but also realize it could be half of the story.</p>

<p>Well… first of all, you judge people on what side of a college campus they spend the majority of their time on…Sorry, but in the real world their is no such thing as north campus people and south campus people (there may be some generalizations but certainly a lot more than two!). In the real world, many of you will find that there are other aspects of your personality that can’t be so compartmentalized. It’s a good thing!</p>

<p>When you finally venture out of your comfort zone, the world will be so much more exciting and interesting. Try to stay as open minded as you can, as long as you can! When you start getting “stuck in your ways,” that’s the first sign you’re getting old. And trust me, getting old sucks!</p>

<p>sid3000,</p>

<p>Anyone who goes into medicine only for money is in for a miserable career. Long buy-in, slow payoff, and at least if you go into finance, you don’t need to learn how to do rectal exams.</p>

<p>^ You are correct. It is only after realizing this sense of commitment and sacrifice do people actually drop the path. Thankfully, there is enough motivation aside from income to go strong if you truly enjoy and desire that type of career.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t think people are judged by what side of campus they’re on, the sides of campus are judged by the people and courses that are there. Which is why it’s silly for people on either side to take the comments personally.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Or at least they don’t divide in such convenient way as choosing majors. But that doesn’t mean such a division doesn’t exist at UCLA, and I don’t think most people at UCLA are under the illusion that the “outside world” has an analogous divide. So I’m not sure how this is a reflection of being out of touch with reality.</p>

<p>Music performance majors are just as technically demanding as South campus majors, if not far more so. And going by the number of hours required for practice, they’re much more similar to sciences than humanities and social studies. I think it’s misleading to lump them in with either side, at least as far as workload goes.</p>

<p>hai guyz so liek north campus is liek so totally cool!!!111oneone. this cool guy agrees. </p>

<p>dont even argue with us, cause we’re north campus majors and we can think critically better.</p>

<p>I can only hope that was crappy satire.</p>

<p>Does psychology count as a north campus major?</p>

<p>Yes, psychology is north campus. But it’s probably as southern as north campus gets.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Maybe geographically it is. But in terms of subject matter I’d say that econ is as southern as north campus gets.</p>

<p>nursing is south campus?</p>

<p>I say for undergrad, psychology is north campus but for grad school for psych specialties like clinical or neuro psych, then it can become a south campus major. I think psych is an in between of north and south campus, depending on what you want to specialize in psychology.</p>

<p>For what it’s worth, Franz Hall is in the heart of south campus.</p>

<p>Franz Hall is really on the northeast edge of South Campus.</p>

<p>north campus women ftw</p>

<p>they are hot</p>
