<p>I know many of us will not be able to attend Admit day due to different reasons. So, if you did attend admit day, can you please right a brief reflection on your visit. Like how was the campus, the housing, the students, etc. And, of course, a picture says a thousand words :)</p>
<p>In particular, if you attended a seminar for a particular residential college or a division, please share your opinions on the programs, res halls, FOOD, and etc. </p>
<p>Thanks a bunch</p>
<p>You could try looking at last year’s posts in the archives …</p>
<p>Sometimes a current opinion is more relevant despite just a one year difference :P</p>
<p>It’s happening now! Here’s a few pictures I took during the Overnight Program (Thurs-Today) and just randomly during this year.</p>

<p>I won’t call out laziness on part of other forum members, but I gotta give credit where it’s due. </p>
<p>Appreciate the info schwing. Really helps.</p>
<p>Actually, I did research and go back to last year’s post and I did not find them all that informative. Plus, I thought it would be good for all the other student’s that did not have the opportunity to visit today a “one-stop” place to get the info.</p>
<p>@Schw1ng, thx for the pics
they look amazing</p>
<p>could anyone who’s going to the bioE seminar tell what they talked about please?</p>
<p>Guess I can throw down some more pictures (during a random break from work on a weekend):</p>

<p>I just got home from Admit Day and UCSD and I have to say I am incredibly impressed. I’m an admit to Earl Warren College so I toured that college.</p>
<p>First of all, I LOVED the Residential Halls! The architecture reminds me of a sort of modern twist on pueblo-style buildings, very complimenting to the huge, green canyon the halls overlook. I am a huge fan of the suite system at the residence halls. The triple seemed a little cramped but the single was awesome! I believe prices were about $9,600 for triple and about $11,100 for a single. The tour guide told us there were next to no doubles so don’t expect much there. Now I received mixed information about how many of each room there are. Some said there were about 1-2 singles per suite while others said it was 4 singles and 2 triples per suite. Any clarification would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Right outside the res halls is a beautiful courtyard with beach volleyball nets set up! The dining hall, Canyon Vista, and Warren cafe and small convenient store, Earl’s Place, are but a few feet away from the rooms. One thing that I found kind of disappointing is they are not opening the dining hall until 10:00 AM next year, meaning no breakfast there. I’m more of an early bird and definitely a breakfast man so this kind of bummed me out.</p>
<p>The apartments were very nice as well. It seemed they were all two doubles per apartment and most students moved into them their second year. The Student Activity Center seemed pretty decent, including a kitchen for those who may want to cook beyond what is offered in the res halls, darts, pool table, foosball, and DVDs for rent. Next to the housing areas are two olympic sized pools (I believe there’s a fee for swimming though, can’t remember) and a small weight room (I didn’t see this, someone just mentioned it to us).</p>
<p>Warren College is made up of very interesting architecture. It has almost an industrial feel, but very modern and edgy to break any feeling of the buildings being offices and such. It’s incredibly close to Price Center, the bustling portion of campus.</p>
<p>I had pretty much decided I was going to Berkeley. Now, after Admit Day at UCSD, I have a pretty difficult decision to make!</p>
<p>@Thefifthbeatle: I also toured Warren at admit day today. My guide told me that they were converting most (if not atll) of the triple rooms to doubles next year! I am pretty sure this is happening, so that will be good 
more room</p>
<p>and from what research I’ve done, I do not believe there is a fee for swimming right? For locker use there could be, but I do not believe there is a fee to get in. Similar to the RIMAC, standard recreational fees are included in tuition. If a current student can confirm this, please do so :P</p>
<p>Nevermind, I found info on UCSD’s website.</p>
<p>“Admission to the pools is $10 for non-Rec Card holders, students are free during the academic year with I.D.”

<p>If you’re wondering why I care so much about making this clear…it’s because being swimmer, this is pretty important to me x]</p>
<p>oyama Those pictures are simply fabulous. My d will be attending in the fall. She’s now studying hard for her AP classes. We were there today for Admit Day. Your pics are spot on. I want to go to college again. I hope I’m not a helicopter mom.</p>
<p>Haha. Thanks for the kind words.</p>
<p>Your daughter seems to have quite a nice support system at home. I hope all goes well for her the next four years.</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Yay warren
So, my family drove there from the LA area so it was a 2 hour drive. We ended up getting to UCSD at 8, which was kind of too early for my taste. I have to say, the Price Center is amazing and the Ballroom (East?) was beautiful! The Warren Lecture Hall was kind of old and somewhat dirty and I was confused when suddenly everyone left. The people at the information fair were nice and answered all the questions I needed (and I got free food and pens! Something that always works well with the cheapness in me). The Res Halls were pretty cool. I love the whole suite system. Triples looked kind of cramped, so I’ll probably be going with the single (which in itself is not that big). The apartments looked somewhat bigger and were what I expected. During the tour, I was embarrassed because my parents kept making rude comments about the RA and the other RA knew Chinese :(</p>
<p>The booths at the library walk really showed me the diversity of the school. There were quite a few booths and at random times there were some giveaways. Free tea is always good. Of course, it was kind of awkward when one of the girls commented on my sweater and mentioned that her ex went to that school, but I guess that’s ok. The bank geek in me appreciated the pep band. I actually knew how to play a couple of the songs (thank you football games!). Overall, it was a pretty good experience but not something you should regret if you didn’t go. I really suggest you still take a tour of the school before submitting the SIR though!</p>

Warren res halls are 4 singles, 2 triples. Never heard of them switching triples to doubles, especially since Warren was overcrowded this year, but who knows!</p>
<p>As for the Dining hall, it opened at 10am this year as well but Earl’s is opened pretty early so if you really need breakfast, you can also grab a breakfast burrito or coffee there. There are constant surveys about whether they should open Canyon Vista at 8am but nothing has changed to my knowledge.</p>
<p>GnuYorker:</p>
<p>I was in the first part of BioE, but I left with the NanoE group so I couldn’t tell you what was in the second half. But in the first (more general) presentation, they talked about different programs and research opportunities that students could take part in. They also talked a lot of statistics and showed off their facilities because, of course, these are people who had not yet accepted their offer of admittance.</p>
<p>I really think you can probably find all of the same information on the website, minus the witty humor. Engineers are funny. (:</p>
<p>@Valerie: my res hall tour guide was awful. Haha</p>
<p>Thanks fishygosplash and AndrewL for clearing those couple of things up (I’m a swimmer as well!).</p>
<p>While touring the res halls, we also heard from an RA that many triples would be converted to doubles next year. However, a minute later the other RA on the tour told us to apply for a double as if you were applying for a triple as that is where you will most likely be placed. It seems odd that the number of students living in the res halls this year would decrease that dramatically from last year, but, as AndrewL said, who knows? The RAs definitely seemed to have mixed information haha.</p>
<p>The Welcome session was amazing:)
Roosevelt college is freaking amazing especially the dorms, the international house and all the activities around it. JeSuis@ my res hall tour was also awful. Personally, i felt weird because i think i was the only Mexican from my group (there were mostly Asians and Whites) but is ok. Well i guess i’ll see you UCSD this fall:)</p>
<p>Really? The welcome session? I feel like that was the worst part of Admit Day. </p>
<p>Then again I care more about the community aspect and the curriculum at UCSD than random statistics being shoved down my throat by people who think that is what’s important. College is what you make it. And honestly, whether you go to a #5 school or a #50 school won’t make a difference. They’re just subjective numbers that mean nothing. </p>
<p>I might just be bitter about it because I went in with my decision made already, that I am definitely going to UCSD. But to me that welcome session wasn’t a ‘welcome,’ it was a sales pitch.</p>
