College of Natural Resources

Quick stats since I’m tired of the form. Probably going to go to UCLA. UCB isn’t really giving me a lot of money, and I kinda want to transfer out of Natural Resources into Science and Arts. shrugs

Also, UCLA is currently cheaper by about $6,000… Would cost me and fam 22k a year for Berkeley.

kmcemo · March 29, 2012, 9:01pm

rejected. 2070. 3.75/4.2
wrote book, volunteered in vietnamese orphanages. didnt get into LA either. Feel sad right now. Looks like its going to be SD.

flutterfly_28 · March 29, 2012, 9:04pm

abscalc: Yes, you only live in dorms for the first year or two. I thought that was strange when I started, but it actually makes sense. Nobody wants to live in dorms past the first 2 years - apartments are much bigger, cheaper, and you get your own kitchen and bathroom. There’s a lot of nice apartments available right by campus, so finding one is never an issue.

I lived in dorms for the first two years and loved it, met a ton of people. Moved to a gorgeous house with 3 others the third year, which was located closer to campus buildings than a lot of the dorms. It works out well, so don’t worry about it.
