<p>actually both warren and revelle are known for sciences. warren has all the engineering buildings n physics labs; revelle being the oldest has the chem n bio departments located on their side of the campus and has York which if you guys take chem will definitely have your lectures/ labs there.</p>
<p>I was one of the fortunate ones that had a college transfer approved. This quarter, I transferred from ERC to Sixth. As a UCSD student, this is how I would rank the colleges based on GE’s alone (which is most important to me). </p>
<ol>
<li>Warren</li>
<li>Sixth</li>
<li>Marshall</li>
<li>Muir</li>
<li>ERC</li>
<li>Revelle</li>
</ol>
<p>I really had no idea about which colleges to rank, I just vaguely knew I didn’t like 6th, and a very successful grad told me Muir was easiest, so Muir I went!</p>
<p>John Muir:1,
Eleanor Roosevelt:2,
Earl Warren:3,
Revelle:4,
Thurgood Marshall:5,
Sixth College:6</p>
<p>I put Warren first and got Warren. As an engineer, was that a mistake?</p>
<p>As previous posters have made the point clear, which college you select will not affect your overall education because all colleges have equal access to the school’s facilities.</p>
<p>The only reason that Warren may be a good choice is because most of your engineering classes will be near the college. There are engineering majors at EVERY college.</p>
<p>Earl Warren:1
Sixth College:2
Revelle:3
Eleanor Roosevelt:4
John Muir:5
Thurgood Marshall:6</p>
<p>I chose mine pretty much randomly, loosely based on the general info on each of them. How much of an impact does choosing a college have?</p>
<p>Muir 1; Eleanor Roosevelt 2; Earl Warren 3; Thurgood Marshall 4; Revelle 5; Sixth 6;</p>
<p>I never posted it up before</p>
<p>wandering_mystic, what do you mean by impact? </p>
<p>and SQL, why would warren be a mistake? o.O you live right across from the engineering buildings and have Warren Lecture Hall which many classes have lectures in. the only bad thing i can think of is the competition since warren has a lot of students with engineering majors.</p>
<p>I know i put muir first choice and found out i got in- scholars day</p>
<p>i had absolutely no clue what to do when i ranked the different colleges, i put revelle as first because i thought the name sounded cool, and sixth as sixth just because it only seemed obvious to put it there haha. the other ones just i just put wherever, i couldn’t pronounce muir so i think i put that as like numbere five… i dunno, that whole six college thing is kinda whack… revelle apparently is not the one i shoulda picked seeing as i’m a history major who cares though i probably won’t even get in =[</p>
<p>lost_decoy: What I mean is what difference will choosing the colleges have on my classes/major (I’m going for CPE, btw)?</p>
<p>Just to let you guys know… It’s finals week right now and it sucks</p>
<p>amen. these finals suck ass.</p>
<p>HAHAHA well… i chose the colleges based on which websites i thought was pretty… lol… it was really late… and i was rushing on my application =D …yeah so i actually ended up like muirs website the most because they has pretty trees in the background and revelle was last because thier website was the ugliest… hahaha but im sooo glad im in muir… im a first year… and after this quarter im going to be considered a junior and im done with ges… except for the language requirement… </p>
<p>and you cant switch colleges… but if you really really want to you have fill out all this paper work stuff and you have to wait a year… they make you wait a year so you can have some time to atleast like the college you are assigned… </p>
<p>and basically… the only thing thats different about the colleges are the ges… and where you are living…</p>
<p>haha … yeah… well good luck with what you picked… haha its proof that your actions have consquences =P</p>
<p>ahah pretty trees? more like dead trees…</p>
<p>wandering_mystic: overall the college you choose shouldn’t have a great influence on the classes/major you take. watever college you’re in, you can have ANY major, and you will see that at every college, there is a wide range of majors :). however, depending on the college, you have to take classes that fill their specific GE’s, so during the first year, it might be a little difficult class-wise because every college has writing classes that you HAVE to take in order to graduate. but mostly, if you take for instance bild 1 (biology) for a general biology major, it can also fulfill the science requirement for your college (if you haven’t already done so with ap’s), which is why more science ppl usually try to get into warren or revelle because their GE’s consist more of sciences than other colleges (but not a lot).</p>
<p>Engineers get GE overlaps in Warren with other relatively easy breadth requirements.</p>
<p>Science majors get GE overlaps in Revelle but are stuck with taking a myriad of other classes not pertinent to science majors.</p>
<p>Muir has the most flexible and least amount of GEs and is undebatedly the easiest for any non-Engineering major.</p>
<p>ERC, Marshall, and Sixth are all caught somewhere in the middle of that; however, most people won’t like ERC’s six-quarter Making of the Modern World (MMW) sequence.</p>
<p>I chose based on which schools didn’t have Foreign Lang. as a GE req. Which most do, but I think I chose Warren and then Sixth because they dont have that? Confirm/Deny anyone?</p>
<p>For those that are interested in UCSD. Just know, finals are mutherfreakin brutal. This morning before a final I saw a chick puke right before the test and another was frantic and ran out crying before the TA’s ushered her back in. Crazy. Maybe you all should apply to Cal State San Bernardino. It’s hardcore here.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Muir lets you choose two of the following three breadths to complete one of their GE requirements:</p>
<p>Foreign Language
Fine Arts
Humanities</p>
<p>If you’d rather do Fine Arts and Humanities, then Muir would fit your needs, too.</p>
