<p>@Breseis.
I’m a poli sci major too, wait we have to take poli 30?! how do you know?
and sorry, I wish I could answer your questions – but i’m a confused freshman too. haha</p>
<p>I’m in Sixth College and our move in day is on Sept 15th. hi I was wondering, do I have to move in on that day? or could I choose to move in at a later date?
My orientation is on the 16th and 17th
Thank you!</p>
<p>@breseis: 1. no it does not matter what quarter you take it.
2. i haven’t taken enough poli sci classes to tell you really good ones. and it also depends on your major. are you strictly a poli sci major or do you have a concentration? for example, i am a poli sci/international relations major with econ as a double major and i LOVE the international relations courses but i do not like the comparative courses. Professor Roeder is AMAZING.
3/4. No experience.
5. I’ve had two finals in a day twice (both times they were back to back) and actually it’s not too difficult if you begin studying earlier.
6. I don’t have a car but my roommate did. It’s not terribly hard to get around everywhere. Of course, you do have more opportunities to do what you want whenever you want. If anything, i’d suggest not taking your car for fall quarter and bring it for winter quarter if you feel like you’ll die without it.</p>
<p>@paperhearts0: yes you have to take poli 30, its a requirement for all poli sci majors, no matter if you have a concentration or just a general poli sci major. you can go here to look up your major requirements. the majors are on the left-hand side.

<p>Hey guys!</p>
<p>This is my first post on CC… I just have a question about the openness about UCSD.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me what the political climate of UCSD is? Is it more liberal or conservative leaning, and how accepting are they of people with fairy radical political viewpoints? Same question goes for religion / atheism.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance, and for all the other answers in this thread!</p>
<p>Edit: PS: If anyone knows how good the cogsci program is in their own opinion (I don’t mean national ranking), that would be amazing too.</p>
<p>I am an incoming freshman for EE. I have a score of 4 on AP Physics B. Will I get credit for
PHYS 2A? Warren advising link says that I get credit for PHYS 10 , but engineering has the PHYS 2 series. Please advice.</p>
<p>@gregmasta</p>
<p>I’m guessing there’s more liberal than conservative kids out there but it’s not like I’ve seen any large political demonstrations. People rarely talk about politics. Same with religion. I figure if you’re respectful to other people’s ideas they’ll be respectful to yours. The people at UCSD are generally very nice.</p>
<p>@greenfield</p>
<p>You don’t get credit for PHYS 2A.</p>
<p>^Agreed, UCSD isn’t particularly charged politically or religiously</p>
<p>Hey everyone ! </p>
<p>I’ll be attending UCSD as a biology major in Fall 2010.
I have a question about the calculus series UCSD offers. Is there a difference between Math 10 and Math 20? It says 10 is calculus and 20 is calculus for science and engineering students. Can I take either one to fulfill my requirements or I need to take a specific course??</p>
<p>^Either series will satisfy the requirement.</p>
<p>@Junio2010</p>
<p>Either work, but the 10 series is easier.</p>
<p>Question for those upper division math people-</p>
<p>I’m trying to decide between the 140 & 142 series… any advice?</p>
<p>Thanks for the quick response guys, I probably will take 10 since I plan on taking Chem 140A the same quarter. </p>
<p>Another question: Can I take Physics 1B(L) and 1C(L) the same quarter? Or is one a prereq for the other??</p>
<p>Do the Sixth dorms have carpeted or wood floors?</p>
<p>Do students typically bring their own mattresses to UCSD?</p>
<p>During orientation, the mattresses weren’t as comfortable as I would have liked…not to mention some mysterious brown stains in the pillow case provided.</p>
<p>^No, but you should bring a foam pad to put on top of your mattress. It was the best thing I brought to college. I got a tempurpedic thing from Costco and it made my life 10x better!! Make sure you bring your own bed linens too (ie sheets and pillowcases) because they are not provided.</p>
<p>@Junio2010 - they’re not. but check the course catalog to make sure i’m not lying.</p>
<p>[Courses</a>, Curricula, and Programs](<a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/front/courses.html]Courses”>Courses, Curricula, and Faculty)</p>
<p>ucsandiego915 - Do the temperpedic mattresses at Costco come in XL twin?</p>
<p>I’m not sure, mine was just a normal twin. But it wasn’t a big deal because I’m kind of short hahaha so I had no problems with the tiny amount of overhang.</p>
<p>

<p>What do you plan to do with your math degree? If you just want to graduate, take 142AB–it’s a LOT easier.</p>
<p>140AB is typically known as one of the most difficult series in the math department. Unfortunately for me, I had to take it since it’s one of those ‘highly recommended’ courses for admission into Economics Ph.D. programs. It was quite a bit of hard work and was basically 109 on steroids.</p>
<p>Actually, scratch that. Back when I had to choose between 140/142, the latter was actually “Advanced Calculus I and II”. Now that it’s just introduction to analysis, there’s no way I can evaluate it, since my friends and I have all finished that component of the major. Reading the description, however, tells me that it’s a less rigorous sequence than the 140 counterpart.</p>
