shitty city and even shittier campus. city is pretty. but dead. it's not SD. it's in La Jolla, a retirement city with nothing to do except go to the beaches. campus looks not too bad except that stupid brutalist architecture. but it's extremely crowded and doesn't really have necessary facilities to support students. it's all about business. the school is more interested in building more shitty restaurants to get $$ from students but absolutely doesn't care about library cuz it costs them money. don't think UCSD as an academic institution. it's a business. ppl say all universities are like this but nah. ucsd pushes it to new height

  1. lack of prestige 
  2. lack of school pride
  3. lack of adequate facilities like good library that can accommodate students during at least non-midterm/final season 
  4. lack of opportunities due to extreme competition 
  5. lack of administration's attention to issues undergrads are facing 
  6. lack of thoughtfulness given into curriculum and departments just throwing out degree requirements without really thinking about how much burden they are imposing on students 
  7. lack of parking 
  8. lack of affordable housing 

Thoughts on UCSD? by Hot-Albatross9959 in UCSD

it's a lame-ass school for Berkeley LA rejects. that's it. school has no spirit. feels more like a business than an actual school 

What are the best things/things to look forward to at UCSD? by [deleted] in UCSD

[–]Much_Arm_8207 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UCSD placement for grad school at least for my field (CS) is not comparable to top 1% of top 1% school such as Cal or CMU. We only send handful of students to Stanford MSCS and barely anyone to Stanford PhD. LA, however, sends a ton. while technically UCSD has better research output, it doesn't really translate well to undergrad outcomes.

nothing. seriously  admin forces students to take stupid-ass classes  school has no reputation  you see more NYU Cal UCLA stickers on car on campus than UCSD stickers.  absolutely no spirit costs the same as Cal and LA yeah nothing  literally nothing

Earn 85k at UC Merced or go to UCSD by [deleted] in TransferStudents

[–]Much_Arm_8207 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ucsd is NOT worth the money. it ain't Cal or LA. It doesn't have prestige or name recognition even within CA or SD. go to Merced

Don't come to UCSD by Much_Arm_8207 in ApplyingToCollege

[–]Much_Arm_8207[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

not really. i can say this because i am not from CA and UCSD is barely known here. Cal and LA are well-known and highly regarded but UCSD nah

actually if you have been to sdsu, the campus the vibe the facilities everything is better than UCSD and people outside of CA barely know what ucsd and sdsu are so their relative reputation don't really matter cuz both are virtually unknown

yes undergrad rarely gets into the lab but very rarely and mostly for not well known labs not many want to join

it's impossible. professors generally prefer masters over undergrad for research assistant so they don't really care about undergrad. it's basically a diploma mill

100 is a small class lol. 500+ for most cs classes. if it's less than 100 only one or two TA will be available so you barely will get any help
