<p>honestly why did UCSD even send us that emergency notification? That was so lame. Oh, thanks UCSD for letting me know about the earthquake 1 hour after the fact, that was so incredibly helpful in saving my life.</p>
<p>well there are aftershocks u know</p>
<p>Hey, I was wondering how widespread power outlets are around campus because I have a 1.5 year old laptop right now that works perfectly fine except the battery life is only around 2.5 hours. Do they have them in classes etc? Would that be enough to get through the day between leaving the dorm room, going to the library, going back to the dorm room on most days?</p>
<p>@evolver: The campus is loaded with power outlets, and that includes classrooms, libraries, study places, etc. I would say that most classrooms have outlets on the walls and some on the floor (in the middle of lecture halls) so you wouldn’t really have to worry about it. But get to those seats with access to outlets fast because there are always those power outlet hoggers in each class! I would say that as long as you have your power charger for your laptop with you at all times, it would be enough to last you all day long.</p>
<p>Thank you very much clarkfobes! I’ll definitely be carrying the charger around so I’m glad it shouldn’t be a problem :D.</p>
<p>i’m pretty sure someone asked this already but how hard is to survive Revelle GE’s because i’m really worried and i have to graduate in 4 years?? how many hours per week do you study?</p>
<p>would this get me out of taking some of the classes?
i got a 3 in world history and 5 on calc ab.
this year planning to take:
gov ap, macroecon ap, physics B ap, Calc Bc, and lit ap
^if i get a 3/4 on these will it cover some of the classes for college?</p>
<p>[Revelle</a> College: Graduation Requirements](<a href=“http://revelle.ucsd.edu/academics/grad-requirements/index.html]Revelle”>http://revelle.ucsd.edu/academics/grad-requirements/index.html)</p>
<p>@Tonyhlee- It all depends on your major. If youre a bioengineering major you probably wont be graduating in four years (unless you take summer sessions). However, if you arent bioengineering, it shouldnt be that big of a problem</p>
<p>is fast food (or somewhat unhealthy food) the only real options available on campus? there’s always that universal “freshman fifteen” tale that goes around but is it really that hard to eat relatively healthy on campus?</p>
<p>^The Freshman 15 is not a myth. I watched it happen to almost every girl in my building and many of the guys! Seriously! The dining halls TRY to be healthy and they certainly do have healthy(ish) options but the fact of the matter is, you’re living away from home for the first time and things are open late and you’re stressed. Therefore everyone eats the fast food options at the dining halls, eats pasta roughly the size of 3 or 4 normal portions, buys Ben & Jerrys tubs on certain nights, stocks up on junk food at Goody’s… etc etc, the list goes on and on. The dining halls and some of the Price Center food places (that don’t accept meal points) on campus CAN be healthy but it is up to you to make sure you make smart choices.</p>
<p>I didn’t have a problem because dining hall food got REALLY old really quick to me. Hope that happens to you too hahaha!</p>
<p>Is it hard to meet all the GE requirements in 1 year and to transfer to another University from here?</p>
<p>on college *******, i read:
“It can kind of be the luck of the draw when it comes to professors, but we have a book that comes out each year where students rate professors, so you can have some idea of what you’re getting into.”
could i get my hands on this “book” before freshman yr? or should i just look on ratemyprofessors.com?</p>
<p>Speaking of the Freshman 15… are there any facilities on campus available for people to work out?</p>
<p>they have the main gym (near muir) and RIMAC which is larger than UCI’s gym =) there’s supposedly a rivalry between UCSD and UCI on who has the biggest gym… apparently, UCSD does right now =D i think there’s another gym i forgot to mention? =/</p>
<p>@jamesbball911: depends on which college you are in. Btw, you need to be here for 2 years before you transfer to another UC/college. </p>
<p>@sweetdreamzzz: I think ratemyprofressors is all you need. there’s also this handy dandy facebook application called Veechi that shows you grade distributions</p>
<p>@ilikebananas: Rimac (erc) , Main Gym (muir) and Canyonview Athletic center (warren)</p>
<p>ucsandiego915 i hear you. lol I won’t have too much of a problem with fast food because I don’t eat much of it at all now, but I’m sort of concerned if fast food is the only real food available, because then I won’t have a choice but to eat fast food-like food all the time. haha</p>
<p>thank you for such a quick response! =D
i’ll definitely look into the veechi fb app =)</p>
<p>Am I better off going to UCSD or Cal Poly Pomona? My intended major is electrical engineering. I am having a very hard time deciding :</p>
<p>Hm… Cal Poly Pomona is ranked 13th whereas UCSD is ranked 17th. What are you looking for in a school? If I remember correctly, in Cal Poly, you need to stick to your major throughout your 4 years, so that may be a good or bad thing.</p>
<p>@SBSays, have you visited the campuses? Do you like small towns or big cities? The two schools have pretty different social and campus environments.</p>
