Trying to rank the ucsd colleges is giving me anxiety

If you really don’t like history, I recommend this: Muir, Sixth, Marshall, Warren, Revelle, ERC. But other factors such as location, other GEs, you being a STEM major, can easily change the order. So realistically, I think Muir, Marshall, Revelle, Sixth/Warren, ERC. The main difficult thing about Revelle is its writing/history courses. But if you end up getting into it, don’t sweat it. There’s so much help available on campus if you look for it, and if you do your research and manage to get a nice prof and TA, then you’re good. Your grade is much more based on who’s teaching and grading you than the actual content itself.

I’m a 2nd year ERC student with a friends in Marshall and Sixth. Their writing/history classes are a joke compared to ERC’s, but I really like my college and actually don’t mind MMW that much aha. I was so scared when I found out I was in ERC, but it’s actually easier than I thought, so I think you’ll feel the same in Revelle. As for Marshall, you’ll be good there too; they have less writing/history (honestly a lot of it is modern day stuff) courses (3 vs Revelle’s 5), and while I was writing a 10 page art history paper for MMW, my Sixth friend was filming a creative video and my Marshall friend was conducting a survey/paper on how to improve UCSD.
