<p>back in 2002 (when i was applying), there weren't ANY triples in revelle. it's kind of sad to see how crowded UCSD's become; for those who have seen the revelle fleets, could you imagine cramming three people in a 12x14 room? and worst part is that of the five identical rooms, only two are triples, while the other three remain doubles. </p>
<p>i wonder if UCSD would just stop admitting so many people, they wouldn't have so many people disgruntled with housing issues. a fraction of happy students should be more valuable than a huge group of unhappy ones ... but in the end, it all comes down to $$$ and triples are the way to go...</p>
<p>I can tell you that triples suck because the room was only designed for 2 people with 3 being the max fire-code capacity. And there is the inevitable 3rd wheel situation that comes up when the other 2 roommates become better friends with each other than they are with you.</p>
<p>well i'm in a single. so i can't complain. my suitemates that live in the two triples we have, don't really complain. i mean if you get along with your suitemates you should be fine. it's a little small but you don't have to spend all day in your room. you can hang out in the lounge. people usually don't study in their rooms either so to me, as long as i have room for my stuff and a bed to sleep in i'd be fine. i'm really thankful for my single though. =]</p>
<p>how do you get to live in one of the apartments? like is there a special application or on the housing application are you able to say that's what you want? they sound like they have more room in them. do they tend to cost the same or more? </p>
<p>some freshman in warren got apartments because there wasn't enough room in the res halls. the price is the same. the thing is though, you don't wanna be in the apartments as a freshman. it's gonna be really hard to meet people because of the building structure. if i had to choose again for next year i'd want to stay in the res halls. of course, that's not an option since res halls are reserved for the freshies.</p>
<p>no you can reserve an apt. in Warren college, it just costs more. No, you don't have to live with your college but the classes are generally closer if you do. And Warren is the best college anyways because it requires the least amount of retarded liberal arts work.</p>
<p>Actually, you do have to live in your college's housing. You do not have the option of choosing to live in Muir if you're a Warren student, for example. The only way you'll live in another area of campus is if your college's housing is full. As far as classes being close, that just depends on which classes you take. Classes are held all over campus so you might have a class on the other side of campus even though you have a lecture hall right near your residence.</p>
<p>yeah i live in warren and this quarter i have to walk to york hall (revelle) every day. nice 20 minute walk... haha. i don't mind though, i love walking.</p>
<p>It's always fun to go down on Library Walk and to try to dodge all the people trying to hand you stuff. What's even better is giving the most bogus excuses you can think of to them when you don't want to take what they're giving out.</p>
<p>A cell phone (even if it's not on) is the best deterrent for those people handing out flyers. Unless they're CALPIRG people, then it's significantly more difficult -- they're awfully pushy sometimes.</p>
<p>I prefer wearing headphones and pretending like I'm oblivious to the world. Worked all but that one time when some guy thrust a book into my hand and told me to take it, even thought I wasn't interested.</p>
<p>Oh Calpirg is the worst! They follow you around! I once got my hand on a couple of calpirg stickers and I wear em around when they are looking for pledges. </p>
<p>Greenpeace was also really annoying when they were soliciting outside of the library. </p>
<p>I walk through the woods to avoid them all, or I just say I am late for work (which I usually am...) gets em off my back every time.</p>
