<p>haha, you’re probably right. When I was down in SD checking out UCSD, it just didn’t feel right. When I went to LA though it did not feel like SD, I could see myself living in LA, I think I will be able to adjust better in LA, well I have no choice.</p>
<p>hmmm. doubt it… So Cal weather is better and campus is MUCH cleaner… Yes there are a ton of drawbacks also… Smog, Traffic, etc… </p>
<p>I live down south and want to go north but that is only because I am tired of LA.</p>
<p>I will miss LA in a week!</p>
<p>west nile,</p>
<p>Let me tell you man, you are not going to regret. I went to UCLA for 6 hours, visited everything they offer. It is a great school. It is like Berkeley with academics but much more well rounded…as many say this.</p>
<p>lol, so I am going with the magnetic field and verdet wants to go against the magnetic field, hahaha. Sorry got physics on the brain.</p>
<p>yeah I hope so unknown, I know this girl that transfered to berkeley last fall and already is wanting to drop next semester. I don’t think she will drop out, just wants to take a breather. She says the competition is unbearable, many shady students, I hope UCLA is not like this. But either way I don’t care, two can play at that game, and I love competition, especially in biology classes.</p>
<p>lolz I’m pretty much like you Unkown. I applied to Cal because I heard that it’s the toughest public school in California to get into and so far is considered the best public school in California. In addition, their math department is probably the strongest amongst all of the schools in California. I’ll probably go to UCD.
If I applied to UCLA, I would have known their decision by now. Darn it. Cal makes us wait.</p>
<p>Berkeley. Reputation, (not only in california), and is top rated in my major- -UCLA does not have my major. Sports. Hockey Club Team I would like to try out for. Bay area, Tahoe 3 hours. Done and Done.</p>
<p>west nile:</p>
<p>You know I heard the same thing as well? I don’t like shady kids man, never did. Why can’t we all succeed? If we CAN, why not help one another? My major is chemistry and I don’t think its easy but I’m willing to word my arse off. I don’t see the point in academic competition, at least those really psycho styles of competition where they ruin one anothers project and don’t help out one another when they can. I will try to figure out if UCLA also contains ‘shady kids’ but I doubt it…it is a well rounded school.</p>
<p>passionate:</p>
<p>You should have applied to UCLA, why are you going to UCD in particular by the way?</p>
<p>niggit42, it depends on your major though, for science majors you will go through hell with all the ‘shady kids’ (as west nile put it) at Cal. What is your major though?</p>
<p>I knew some shady folks who went to UCLA, and nice folks that went to Berkeley. I think there are shady folks everywhere.</p>
<p>yep, i have heard of stories where students would miss a lecture and come to the next and ask other students around them what was covered and the other students gave out totally false information. What does that mean? Trust no one, except the instructor and TA that is.</p>
<p>edit: and don’t miss lecture, lolz</p>
<p>niggit42,</p>
<p>UCLA also has a good reputation outside of California.</p>
<p>Industrial Engineering. It’s basically a math major with technical background and management incorportated into it. I don’t want to deal with these shady kids, I pride myself on working with people to overcome challenges. It’s normally how I attack problems bigger than I can handle, so that sort of worries me. </p>
<p>Also, I am actually split somewhat on where I might go. I got into Georgia tech already, so if Cal rejects me I’ll probably go there. Hopefully no shadies there.</p>
<p>Edit: I know UCLA has a reputation outside of California Ari, I was just being naive.</p>
<p>If the class is on a curve… you can’t help but to hope your classmates fail.</p>
<p>Human nature. Accept it.</p>
<p>Lol Smith so true yet so wrong.</p>
<p>I think if you are doing the best you can and it is not good enough than you should change majors. Sabotaging someone elses experiment because you suck at life is never cool, I hate douchebags!!!</p>
<p>Unkown: I think I will be going to UCD because it’s pretty close to where I live and my friends are going there. Too bad, I have no friends studying at Berkeley now. Besides, my anthropology professor ( she was a Cal grad) told us that UCD is like a college of UCB.</p>
<p>you know what is sad is that those types of people do get ahead in life. The cheaters, stealers, sabotagers, etc…
I go to school with some right now and I always laugh when I see them do shady stuff, I call them out on it too which is even more fun.<br>
But me, I never need to do anything, I always tell myself if education was one on one these douches would never survive.</p>
<p>passionate:</p>
<p>makes perfect sense! Good enough reaons.</p>
<p>west nile, I know what you mean,</p>
<p>They do get ahead in life a few steps, but I believe in rightousness. Rightousness is always right and correct. Doing wrong might get you somewhere but ofcourse it DOES have its downfall…simply because it is a “wrong” doing by nature. Wrong is always wrong. Right is always right. I would rather follow rightousness and maybe not succeed at what I desire, to our standards, then follow wrong doings and succeed. Because I believe “wrong doing” by nature is unstable and will come around and bite sometimes when you least expect it.</p>
