Random but Neccessary Questions

<p>Exactly how true is the whole rumor of UCSD being a socially dead campus? </p>

<p>How many college parties are there at UCSD?</p>

<p>How competitive does it get for people who are majoring in mechanical engineering at UCSD?</p>

<p>Depends on how many parties you can find and I dunno.</p>

<p>I’ve heard from my future roommates that warren consists largely of “gangsta azn” engineers. how true is that?</p>

<p>um…well there are a lot of engineers, but i wouldn’t say that most, or any of them are “gangsta azn” (?). there is quite a bit of variety of majors/personality types, and in my suite last year only 2 people were engineers, though 1 dropped out.</p>

<p>as for the parties/social life concerns, if you’re REALLY worried about this, i would consider looking into joining a fraternity or sorority. that will provide you with a good social life without necessarily having to “look” for it, which is what you may have to do otherwise.</p>

<p>i own at flag football</p>

<p>Question: Internet in the dorms. Is it a wireless network or do I need an ethernet cable to plug into a jack in the wall? Or is it both?</p>

<p>You can access the internet both ways. Wireless is slow.</p>

<p>for argo and blake u need an ethernet cord
wifi around the campus is fast but not as fast with the ethernet cord… dunno about the other dorms how fast wifi is</p>

<p>I was fine with the wireless in ERC. I went the entire year wireless. I never plugged in once.</p>

<p>just out of curiosity how are the download speeds on the wired connection?</p>

<p>not like it matters :(</p>

<p>i don’t want to get sued.</p>

<p>Thanx 16399, I’m in ERC so I’m guessing I’ll be fine with just the wireless.</p>

<p>i’ll be looking for a job on campus so if anyone has experience, what types of jobs are preferred over others? i kind of want a job where i’m interacting with others instead of being in the back such as being an office assistant or cafeteria worker.</p>

<p>you’re not gonna get sued if you stay away from file sharing programs and torrents</p>

<p>i use utorrent, will they find out?</p>

<p>well yeah you’ll be able to use megaupload and rapidshare and those other sites, but it’s a lot harder to find something on those sites than find a torrent of it.</p>

<p>^Anyone know any good communities that cater to that? (PM me)</p>

<p>how are the floors set up in Warren (Frankfurter)? Do suites just face one other suite, or multiple? <- not sure if that made sense or not.. sorry</p>

<p>thanks in advance.</p>

<p>does ucsd accept big packages
like im planning to buy a 23 inch tv online would they take it??? and were would i have to pick it up?</p>

<p>Yes, they would take it. You’d pick it up where ever your college’s student center is.</p>
