<p>I’m currently attending UCSD as a transfer student. My major is Mechanical Engineering and I’m in ERC. I live in the transfer housing, which I believe is really great!</p>

<p>Cons of being at UCSD:

  1. My building is really quiet so I haven’t met anyone except my roommates.
  2. The classes are not going to be easy! They are nothing like your community college classes (some of them). It’s not the material that is hard but the fact that there’s no time to say “I’m just going to do this later.”</p>

<p>I only have two complaints so far!</p>

<p>My tips for transfer students:

  1. BE ON TOP OF THINGS!
    I made sure to read as much as I could before lecture. It’s really valuable to do it because I felt that the lectures were easier to understand and more informative.
  2. If you have any small desire to go greek then do it!
    I kind of wanted to pledge this quarter but I just decided not to, which was a big mistake! Unless you are interested in a multi-cultural sorority, you won’t have a problem, but most panhellenic sororities only recruit in the fall! So remember to explore your options!</p>
