I want to double major in political science and possibly philosophy or econ. I am wondering which University of California San Diego College is best ranked. Whoever answers can you please be detailed! I tried to research it but got nowhere!
The Residential College system is not major specific. Best ranked in what way?
The Residential colleges are more about the GE requirements and campus location so the best thing you can do is figure out which college GE’s work best with your major curriculum.
Here is a link which explains the GE curriculum for each college: https://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/front/UndergradColleges.html
This link lets you do a comparison of the GE requirements:

Also, all you can do is rank them and there is no guarantee you will get your 1st choice. In General, Muir college is known to be the most flexible with the GE requirements.
There are several old threads discussing stereotypes between the different collges.

Sixth College moved into a brand new building/location this year. Seventh is the newest college but is located farthest from campus.
If you have AP credits, you might also evaluate which college gives you the most credit. https://www.ucsd.edu/catalog/pdf/APC-chart.pdf
