<p>soo.. let's be honest.. there must be some downsides. could anyone post some objective, fair, true and NEGATIVE things about this otherwise wonderful place? Just got into ERC; visiting wednesday. seriously considering UCSD over UCLA and Cal - I just want a more complete picture.</p>
<p>Parking. But that’s also bad at UCLA.</p>
<p>I think the dining hall food is extremely overpriced… but you’ll find that and any college.</p>
<p>The campus is huuuuge and thus when I lived in ERC it took me 20 minutes to walk to my farthest classes. And on super hot/rainy days that is not fun.</p>
<p>Dining hall food is terrible compared to UCLA. The social scene is definitely less prominent than UCLA as well. Also, sports are less popular (less school spirit).</p>
<p>people complaining about how they didn’t get into Cal or UCLA. I got into Cal, didn’t apply to LA, but came here, so I constantly heard people griping. Usually that ends after first quarter, though.</p>
<p>Nobody goes to the sporting events. NOBODY goes to the sporting events.</p>
<p>not even water polo and ultimate frisbee? i LOVE those two sports. and ive heard the water polo team there is hella good!</p>
<p>side note… WILL I BE MADE FUN OF FOR SAYING HELLA? :(</p>
<p>lol I say hella too, Northern California yeee</p>
<p>^ youll kinda just stop using it imo</p>
<p>lol If you’re referring to me, I doubt it, I’ve actually lived away from Northern California for more than half of my life but I still say it every once in a while, just in the blood haha</p>
<p>Actually, I’m from SoCal and have started using the word “hella” since I got here.</p>
<p>hella characters</p>
<p>Thing things about UCSD:
- “hella”</p>
<p>the ****ing dorm toilet paper is rough as hell.</p>
<p>“the ****ing dorm toilet paper is rough as hell”
Arggh, Anything else I need to know about the dorms?</p>
<p>There’s no air conditioning but since its right next to the ocean there usually is no need for one.</p>
<p>Do none of the colleges’ dorms have A/C? 
I visited UCSD yesterday and I visited my friend’s dorm and it was super hot (even with the windows open & a fan going)!</p>
<p>^Warren’s do.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m in the sixth apartments, and I never have a problem with heat. I think Revelle and Marshall dorms sometimes do have that problem.</p>
