Why should I choose UCSD?

<p>Thank you for the links, but I’m looking for firsthand student experiences. Although I do have lots of interests, I’m trying to keep them from influencing how other people view the school. Generally, I’m concerned about class difficulty (I’m a MechE major), social life, clubs, surrounding environment (La Jolla and SD), student to admin/teacher relationships, diversity, etc. Pretty much as general as it gets. Most of all, however, I want to know what you guys like about it. Passionate rants are requested :)</p>
