UCSD or UCR? (GE's, time and money)

ERC’s GE’s are not that bad from what I hear. They shouldn’t detract you from going to UCSD. Of course, if you’re super dependent, UCR would be the right choice for you, but you should try to wean yourself off of that dependency. I mean, college is the time to become an adult.

Also, you’re supposed to try new things during college. You sound very closed minded when you say English integrated with history would be gross. If you give things a try, you might actually like them. I came into college with a bunch of prejudiced notions, and a lot of them have changed, because I took this time to go outside of my comfort zone.

If you feel this strongly about GE’s you should just give UCSD admissions a call and beg for a different college. I haven’t really heard anyone say anything too bad about the MMW series (unlike the HUM series for Revelle), but if you feel this strongly about it, you should do whatever it takes to get a change.
