^I mean, I guess it’s not THAT terrible, but some of the things on there are straight up lies. Such as “You don’t really meet people from other colleges because you’ll be taking GEs for your first two years and you only take GEs with people in your college”. That’s not even remotely true. THE ONLY CLASSES YOU TAKE WITH ONLY PEOPLE FROM YOUR COLLEGE IS YOUR WRITING CLASSES. Let me repeat that again just if anybody was unsure. THE ONLY CLASSES YOU TAKE WITH ONLY PEOPLE FROM YOUR COLLEGE IS YOUR COLLEGE’S WRITING CLASSES. So assuming you take more than one class per quarter, you will meet people from other colleges. I mean, why would she say that? It’s just not true at all and she knows it. Other things that stuck out.

“In Warren and Sixth you get your own bathroom with your room.”
That’s a lie.

“Muir doesn’t have any GE requirements”.
What the ****?

“Revelle is the oldest college on campus so we have a lot of prestige”
Prestige for what? Is HUM so superior to other writing classes?

“Professors aren’t really here to teach and they’re not that good”
I think the professors here are fantastic for the most part and put huge amounts of effort into teaching and being available for students.

“UCSD is 10 minutes from downtown San Diego”
More like 15-20, but that’s not that big of a deal.
