<p>Which college did everyone put as their first choice?</p>
<p>i put warren. what about you?</p>
<p>I put Warren because I stayed there this summer and liked it a lot, Muir was a close second, and Marshall a close third. I want to be close to the library and stuff if I go there and all the others are farther away.</p>
<p>are the warren dorms nice? i think i put muir last because the tour guide said that was where all the weird/crazy people were</p>
<p>The warren dorms are really nice, once section is brand new, the others look fairly new also.</p>
<p>nothing compares to warren... maybe except for the yellow dorms near the ocean lounge</p>
<p>but what sucks about warren is that it requires the most requirements</p>
<p>muir requires the least reqiurements but the muir appartments look crappy</p>
<p>i guess nice dorms are the 'reward' for taking up such a huge courseload</p>
<p>im a freshman at ucsd.
---> warren dorms are actually quite small, imo, although they do look nice from the outside. erc freshman dorms are by far the best/newest.<br>
and warren also doesnt have that many ge reqs, compared to revelle or erc... the annoying thing is that their dorms are an ****ing-off distance from everything without providing really adequate compensation. It's about a 5 minute walk to its own lecture hall... and like 10 minutes to the center of campus (price center).
--- just wanted to say what i thought</p>
<p>I put Revelle... I ranked the colleges mostly on how good their websites looked. Also Revelle had a picture of a rice cooker in their dorms, haha :)</p>
<p>Either Warren or Marshall. I honestly don't remember.</p>
<p>I picked the one that gave me credit for my 3 on the AP Environmental Science exam.</p>
<p>Just some suggestions: The biggest criteria to choose an UCSD college is GE requirements and first year writing sequence. Secondly, you should look at location and housing. Of course, nothing beats a real visit. </p>
<p>Revelle - GE aims to make you a renaissance student and carries perhaps the heaviest load. Hume or Humanities is considered a hard writing sequence and lasts quiet a few terms (lasts 5 quarters).</p>
<p>Muir - Muir GEs are aimed to be flexible so you can be more creative and have more flexibility. Muir Writing is not considered too hard and lasts a couple quarters.</p>
<p>Marshall - Aims to educate students as citizens, with emphasis on scholarship/service to community. Dimensions of Culture of DOC examines popular culture and contemporary social issues (lasts three quarters).</p>
<p>Warren - Warren has a reputation to be the engineering school thus they have a lighter load of GEs and Warren Writing isnt too difficult and lasts a couple quarters.</p>
<p>Eleanor Roosevelt/ERC - GE aims to educate student in international affairs and looks at the world through a global perspective. Students may specialize a specific region of the world in the writing sequence Making of the Modern World (MMW) (lasts quiet a few quarters, 5?)</p>
<p>Sixth - GE aims to combine Culture Art and Technology (CAT) and lasts 3 quarters. </p>
<p>Just a brief overview and probably riddled with mistakes since I am recalling my undergrad days.....but it gives you a sense of what to look for when researching into the colleges :)</p>
<p>I put Eleanor Roosevelt College first. </p>
<p>I took the tour of the campus and didn't get to see Roosevelt. How is it?</p>
<p>ERC has a pretty ambitious curriculum. MMW probably rivals Hume in difficulty and lasts quiet a while. Some of my ERC friends thought it was a waste of time but others came to love it. More than any other college I think, ERC strives to model itself after a liberal arts college. I heard good things about the new ERC building and dorms, the super complex i think its called. Its pretty much brand new. I think ERC being a younger college is now growing and gaining in popularity.</p>
<p>Thanks GradStudent...appreciate the first-hand knowledge.</p>
<p>Hmm...I can't remember..I think I puit Warren and 6th?</p>
<p>I'll check my paperwork...runs...</p>
<p>Weird...I don't see it on my app. I am pretty sure at least one was Warren. =P</p>
