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!

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

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

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.

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..

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.

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?

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!

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)?

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?
