it shouldn’t be too bad, but it’s possible to transfer if you make a good case to your college advisors.

Revelle vs. Warren GE’s:
HUM is an ugly 5-quarter sequence (Warren has Warren Writing & Ethics, 4 quarters total, though the two sequences are totally different)
The calculus and natural science requirements would overlap with requirements for most engineering majors. And York Hall’s close by.
Area of Focus (3 classes)
American Cultures course (1)… is also something warren students need to complete anyhow.
Social Science (2)
Fine Arts (1)
Language requirement… not sure how many courses you need, but some students can waive this with SAT/AP tests. my language credits aren’t helping me with warren ge’s.

In the best case scenario, I think Revelle GE’s would only require a couple more courses than Warren GE’s for even an engineering major. Hopefully it won’t be too much extra GE’s on you. It’s the mix of classes that is different. For Warren, you can pick 2 area studies from a wide range of fields, 3 classes each, but 4/6 classes have to be upper division. And we study different things in writing classes. Revelle students have the pride of enduring HUM, but Warren Writing & Ethics is no walk in the park either.

& one brighter thing for Revelle:
Supposedly starting next year, 2nd years have brand new apartments to look forward to! For first years, the fleets have been renovated this year, so not too bad for housing unless you’re in Argo/Blake… but there will be the option of the new apartments in your 2nd year!
