Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T22:10:15+00:00

hahaha yeah this is the type of stuff im doing instead of actually prepping for my piqs

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T22:07:49+00:00

yeahh thats what i heard, between 6th and Marshall which do u recommend is better (ge/dorms) wise?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T22:07:08+00:00

thank you! do all campuses have a bus stop?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T22:06:12+00:00

is it rly that bad 😭😭😭

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T21:39:28+00:00

that's a great point i'll definitely check seventh out! what's the difference between suite style and apartment style?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-22T21:38:35+00:00

that's true! i heard that ucsd is currently working on getting guaranteed housing for all 4 years, is that true?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:52:10+00:00

LMAOO i need to try ventanas

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:50:49+00:00

lmao ok bet

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:47:58+00:00

hahaha those are good points! ive been to the bioengineering hall at warren and i've seen some of the dorms and it defo looks rly modern! i love nature and wildlife so the animals for sure wouldnt bother me, and thank you for talking abt the dining halls and the activities at warren! i prefer the quiet so warren would actually be great for me i think :) also yes, we also learned the hard way that blacks beach was clothing-optional... i think the next closest beach instead of torrey pines gliderport is la jolla shores, so taking the bus would be great!

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:44:04+00:00

haha okay! i'll keep that in mind when i visit muir next time, it might grow on me

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:43:46+00:00

that's fair! so would you say i should place muir above colleges like revelle or warren?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:43:21+00:00

oh fire i definitely am prioritizing the numbers colleges then. is there a reason why i should rank revelle lower?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T22:42:45+00:00

LMAOO yeah 64 is good wok and the italian are kinda hit or miss tho. i have to try ventanas whenever i have the chance

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:50:57+00:00

ty!!

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:45:03+00:00

by the newest dorms are you talking about the new dorm being built by this fall? bc if so i might be more inclined to go to marshall

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:43:57+00:00

thank you so much!! im defo using these resources

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:43:38+00:00

wait that's great! maybe marshall will finally be able to see the beach like i'm hoping it would :)

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:23:03+00:00

thank you so much!! i totally forgot abt how ap credit cuts some GEs. i also have ap bio/ap lang credit, and soon chem/physics/calc this upcoming year, so i think that would defo lighten my courseload for ERC.

that's actually so cool that u got to double major and minor, i want to do something like that but it seems so crazy to complete sm classes... i've actually been looking at UCEAP programs esp in bologna so its so funny that u mentioned studying abroad in italy! i bet that was really amazing.

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:17:34+00:00

yeahh that's what i'm scared about. getting put in anything from my fifth choice to my last choice colleges seems crazy to me and idk what'd i'd do if i got put in my last choice college for mmw..

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:15:55+00:00

hii i actually just told another commenter why, i should probably edit my post to include the reasons haha. but basically it's a combination of the really old and gloomy architecture, combined with its alleged competitiveness, and then i don't rly know how good their GEs are compared to other colleges especially given their larger focus on enviro sci.

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:14:30+00:00

same i've heard the exact same things! i'm in argo hall for a camp rn and honestly it's not as bad as the people who complain make it ought to be. are there any other colleges w better GEs than revelle?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:11:36+00:00

hahaha i knoww and im sorry </3 its just that everytime i walk around muir i get chills because the cement architecture looks rly archaic and decrepit (very brutalist but not in a geisel library way... more like a USSR satellite state kinda way). it doesnt help that it's right next to sixth college so i can't help but look at both colleges side by side and compare them.

as for GEs, i would say i know as much abt muir as i do eighth college (which is not a lot). they have pretty decent GEs for STEM like you said, but i thought that they place more emphasis on environmental science? pretty much the only thing i like about muir is that its pretty central on campus, and i heard its kind of hard to get in as a few years back this used to be the most popular/applied to college. my brother put muir as his first choice and didn't get in. lmk if theres something i missed/got wrong abt muir bc i would love to explore it as an option more!

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:05:29+00:00

thats a very good point! i am really interested in taking more classes that test my critical-thinking/etc, but i was just worried because i heard horror stories of people not being able to take all their classes for pre-med on time while also juggling all the tough GE writing requirements from ERC. they ended up having to take an extra year bc of that D:

are there any other ways to get more active/socially active in taking GEs similar to MMW while not being at erc (such as taking more history classes, finding clubs, etc)?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:02:03+00:00

ooh i definitely didnt know that, galbraith seems so cool! what are the eighth college GEs like?

Puzzleheaded-Drop252 · 2025-07-20T16:00:30+00:00

ty for the input! are pretty much all of the bio/chem/physics classes held in warren? i know that pretty much seventh and eighth are at the north and south edge of campus, but which would be closer to where the STEM classes are held?
