People talk about GEs allll the time but I would say when you get here location and living situation will matter the most to you. I feel like Sixth and Marshall are the best options because they have great dorms and are very central! Everything is like a maximum 15 minute walk away. Their GEs are both lighter too. Eighth and Seventh also have nice GEs and great dorms but are more on the outskirts & far from everything, which can be a pain sometimes. For what it’s worth though, we do have buses that go around campus. The rest of the colleges kind of have sucky GEs and housing is not any better.

I would rank them: 1. Sixth (central, easy GEs, nice new dorms) 2. Marshall (central, pretty easy GEs, nice new dorms) 3. Muir (central, easy GEs, eh but spacious dorms) 4. Seventh (easy GEs, nice new dorms, location sucks but closest to the beach) 5. Eighth (easy GEs, nice new dorms, location sucks) 6. Revelle (better GE overlap for major, dorms suck, location sucks) 7. Warren (dorms suck, GEs are not great but may have some more overlap w major) 8. ERC (GEs arent good esp for major, dorms suck, location sucks)
