<p>ocpuck13- probably the no substance dorms haha</p>

622

<p>What dorm should I try for and what about the “living learning” communities?</p>

623

<p>I know that for housing during the fall term they ask a bunch of questions to pair you with a roommate. I was wondering if they do the same thing for FSSP?</p>

624

<p>Hey WCF
I was admitted into Letters and Sciences for pre Computer Science. I want a BS and switch to the engineering school if at all possible. What happens to me? :<</p>

625

<p>Anyone know how difficult it would be to switch majors from B.A. Pre-Psychology to B.S. Pre-Biopsychology? I’m guessing the requirements are just good grades in standard bio, chem, and stats courses, but is the process of switching majors a *****?</p>

626

<p>@ nicomagnolia</p>

<p>Just start taking the biopsych requirements as soon as possible. Since it sounds like you haven’t declared a BA Psych yet you won’t really be switching anything. The biopsych major has the intro bio, chem, ochem and physics series which I don’t think is in the BA psych so make sure you start those. Follow this:</p>

<p>Can you briefly describe the different dorms for freshman(i.e. which ones are the more social, which ones are quieter, etc.)? </p>

<p>Thank youuuu</p>

628

<p>Would you recommend the 10, 14, or 19 meal plan?</p>

629

<p>similar to MantisToboggan’s post, which dorm would be the best in terms of balanced party/study/guys/girls while having a decent location (parking information would be great as well)</p>

630

<p>What is SB academically best known for?</p>

631

<p>I need help with choosing where to live this fall. Is there a ucsb facebook group?</p>

632

<p>

</p>

<p>Oh, really? Were you admitted into the B.A. program? I must have been wrong about that, then. The College of Engineering doesn’t offer B.A.'s anymore but L&S must still do it, then. </p>

<p>I don’t know how hard it would be to switch to the B.S. It’s typically difficult for an L&S student to go over to CoE, but going from one CS major to another may be a different case. You’d be best off asking an advisor.</p>

633

<p>lovetruly, UCSB is best known for physics, biological sciences, chemical engineering, materials engineering (grad level), sociology, earth science…</p>

634

<p>how strong is the environmental program?</p>

635

<p>Can’t believe I left out my home department. My bad. Of course we have the first and one of the best Environmental Studies programs in the country. </p>

<p>Some other info to look at: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1107552-ucsb-environmental-studies.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/university-california-santa-barbara/1107552-ucsb-environmental-studies.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

636

<p>is there wifi all over campus?</p>

637

<p>Are the dorms closed during break? If so, which dorms and which breaks (fall/winter/spring/summer)?</p>

638

<p>

</p>

<p>yes, they are all closed during thanksgiving break, winter break, and spring break. you’re not allowed to live in them during those times.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>yes. all over campus. but, of course there are deadspots in certain classrooms or lecture halls. . .</p>

<p>I was just wondering what a normal weekend is at ucsb. Are there parties every weekend or is it just once in a while.</p>

640

<p>it’s more like every day.</p>
