Hello!
When I was applying to the UC’s I chose Sixth College as my first choice. Little did I know, everyone is telling me that that is the “worst” college to go into.
What really goes down in the colleges? And are there some people in Sixth that can give some of their experiences in the college?
It’s not that bad GE wise. Sixth college does get made fun of a lot and housing isn’t the best but other than that it’s fine. I came into sixth as a transfer so it’s different for me but here’s the GE requirements (assuming you’re a freshman).

It’s not the worst by a long shot; it’s just memed on a lot. Sixth apartments in particular are very nice, and it’s one of the colleges that are really social (everyone in Sixth knows everyone else in Sixth I feel lol). Food is meh though but GEs are fair.
@blackonyx @ucsdcompsci What kind of jokes/memes are made about Sixth? I’m pretty curious lol.
I like being social so that’s good but I care about the GE’s (like how many I can use my AP credit for), and like the food. I heard it’s just pizza LOL
@Trish19 Tbh I just hear so many meh things about Sixth food I’ve just never eaten there LOL. But food doesn’t really matter past your first year esp if you live in the apartments/plan to move off campus. Plus you can always just eat over on a different part of campus anyway. But there’s just Sixth jokes about how a couple who lives in ERC and Sixth is a long distance relationship, Sixth doesn’t even have students and it’s full of raccoons, jokes about how Sixth is literally in the middle of nowhere, etc.

@Trish19 @ucsdcompsci are we keeping all of the sixth college incidents a secret from the incoming freshman lol… but also some of the coolest people I’ve met are from sixth. And yes I’ve never even bothered to visit the foodworx dining hall.
@californiapoly What secret haha?
@Trish19 Some sixth student stole 600 pairs of female underwear. Totally an isolated and unique incident though and he got arrested.
