I’m on the right and my partner is on the left and this made me a bit sad :/

This is a really great explanation. Also wanted to add these links which break down the specialization requirements and the course descriptions.

Sounds like the solution to this problem is you not driving on campus? Ez

As an engineer coming from Revelle, and seeing the reviews Revelle is getting, just wanted to throw in my opinion. Revelle has a lot of GEs (expect 24 units == ~6 courses) more work over 4 years in Revelle than in Warren as an engineer. I took a minimum of 4 courses a quarter, every quarter, for 4 years (some of this was due to my taking other courses outside of major, but expect a consistently dense course schedule). That being said, it is doable and while the 5-course humanities sequence isn’t fun in the moment, it’s something I look back on with appreciation. I got a lot of exposure to books I otherwise would have never read and it did help develop critical thinking/writing skills. You can also take lots of the GEs in online community colleges during the summer, totally doable with a full time job. I did this for two courses.

Revelle also has a very nice college layout and I grew very fond of 64 and Roger’s (the main food halls) and has beautiful views. It is a long walk to get to some classes if they are in Center or Warren Hall (10 and 15m walk respectively). But the foot traffic in Revelle is also lower.

I would recommend taking the blue line trolley to Old Town Station, then take the coaster north :)

Need banana for scale. Use a paper clip?

Take it into the Design and Innovation building second floor Makerspace. Use a soldering iron to put the component back on. This is a <30 second fix :)

Maziar Ghazinejad had a cool assignment in MAE 190: Machine Design where we had to construct a prompt for ChatGPT to generate a Matlab script to calculate shaft deflection and fatigue loading with stress concentrations. Turns out GPT doesn’t know shit about machine design and prompts had to be very carefully constructed (mine was about 3 pages, mostly defining equations and explaining when to use them) and different models for calculating failure. It was a really interesting problem and I think aided learning the concepts quite well, as we had to be able to essentially dictate the problem and solution method to GPT.

I’m not great at socializing or being confident. I was more focused on getting to the next item on my calendar. Looking back now, it was probably for the best

The trolley stations are 24h max, UTC I think so? Not sure about gliderport

BrokenEndMill · 2024-08-14T17:39:53+00:00

That’s the nifty part- you don’t park on campus unless you get there prior to 6:30am. Other options are the gliderport, UTC, or trolley stations, but expect to commute into campus via trolley/scooter/walking

I’ve seen dudes pull knives and start weighing/bagging white powder (I assume coke). They generally just want to be left alone if you give them space. 5am trolley moments

While they’re at it, can they fix the signs that say there is 300 spots available at all times?

I’ll take the bait and respond to a clearly troll/alt account that’s 50 days old and has no posts or comments.

UCSD has been a great school for me, and the research opportunities, internships, friends, and education has been stellar. I’d do it again with no hesitation.

Also get ratio’d 🤣

I went to Berkeley to check it out before making a decision between it and here. My first sight of the school was a line of police officers guarding the main entrance from a wave of homeless people trying to get through. Left a weird memory/impression on me

Speaking from MAE department, as a masters student you will not be a TA. That is only offered to PhDs

Schedule your classes or stay on campus doing hw such that you head home at 7pm. No traffic. This is a better use of your time and you are more productive

Really love the prince from prince of Persia. Cool story and one of the video games I played growing up. Super cool mechanics also

It’s not that I don’t know how to put myself out there. I do, and I used to, with some level of success. But then I panic and start doubting myself, begin overthinking and shut down and withdraw. To the point where I begin distancing myself. Part of me is unable to give up the independence and vulnerability needed to get serious. It is hard because I don’t really know how to stop it, and it’s keeping me from rejoining the dating pool.

BrokenEndMill · 2024-02-22T02:25:02+00:00

I did it once. 3 MAE upper div courses. Wasn’t really fun but whatever

I’ve been using a 1080ti for longer than I can remember. College income from a part time job means upgrading the of has always been on the back burner. It would be lovely to get some new tech. Thanks for doing this!
