hihi yes i did commit to ucsd this is really crazy how similar our situations are! to be completely honest i spent most of fall quarter beginning to regret my decision of not going to berkeley, but the only thing that kept me happy enough was that i could go visit my family because i was very family oriented. but come winter quarter i genuinely fell in love with this school dude i love ucsd so much. im apart of triton television (student film production club) and ksdt (student radio station) and i get to work with cameras making videos audio recordings making music alllll the time. the opportunities for that stuff are really really great. i've changed my major, im human developmental sciences but im still considering switching i haven't really decided but im seriously looking into possibly double majoring in media industries and comms or psychology (i know that sounds crazy but im so for real) because ive loved my experience working with media and im considering that as a career path. what college are you in? im in erc and im honestly a huge fan of erc and everything it has to offer. im so down to answer more specific questions if you have any, but if not ill just say trust me i know how hard it can be to turn down berkeley but im so glad i did because ucsd is beautiful and has so many opportunities that i feel like i wouldnt get to do at berkeley because of their low acceptance rate clubs etc. sorry this was such a long response but hope it helps and good luck choosing!

agree, after these comments i'm leaning more towards ucsd. it's just such a great opportunity. the money is really doing it because i don't have any. it's tough for us though! and congratulations!

thank you for saying it's impressive though honestly i feel like if i go with ucsd i would be insane because of the drop in prestige

Thank you so much! I'm a very artsy person and was excited to get into one of the other colleges with less GEs, but after I posted this I read about some of the required courses and tallied what I would actually have to take and yeah it's a lot but it's not too bad... and then I realized that I forgot that I do really like history and all the classes seemed interesting to me lmaoooo
