<p>im admitted into ucla for fall 2006 and will probably end up attending. I'm undeclared life sciences for the time being. All I've heard is how difficult south campus majors are, how stressed out the kids are, and all about the insane curves. How much of this is true?</p>
<p>i was admitted undeclared life sciences too, but hell if im gonna major in a science! i want to have fun too.</p>
<p>namaste, what do you plan on majoring in?</p>
<p>It's all true. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>You'll still have fun at UCLA if you're at South Campus. It's not any better at Cal.</p>
<p>I'm also an undeclared life science major but I guess I can comment on this based on what I'd observed while staying at my friend's dorm during the sunday night before fourth week (midterms). That night my friend (chem major) was playing online poker and super smash brothers with me (almost simultaneously) while his roommate (EE) was playing smash and haphazardly looking over some physics notes for an open book midterm monday morning. Random people would periodically peek in and join us, spending around two hours on average. At around 12 AM I went with to go eat at puzzles with a couple of guys on my friends floor who were also south campus majors: one engineer and one premed engineer. I basically chilled with them till 2 Am while we traded poker stories and talked of college life while other people joined us in the lounge. One of the guys who joined us (physics major?) was carrying around his physics notes and just looking for some of his friends who were up and around- and so he found us eating dinner (this guy apparently never shows up to class though, from what the eng. guys said).
My friend's got around a 3.2 gpa, the EE major had a 3.7, the two engineers had around 2 something and 3.0 gpas while the premed eng. had around a 3.9 gpa. All of these people told me that the curves are there to help you at LA, possibly save you.
I knew most of these guys before college (they went to mission san jose high and then UCLA in a pack), and from what I understand, they work almost as hard as they did in Hs; only now when they slack they can feel the sting on their gpa. But, some definitely do have extra time on their hands; maybe even too much.</p>
<p>Well the thing about curves are that there are guaranteed to be students with A's...</p>
<p>Hey pizzaquick23 do you go to msj by any chance?</p>
<p>haha no i live in sacramento- mira loma high. I just know a bunch of 05 msj ppl</p>
<p>is the south campus only for engineers or who else are they for? im in college of letters n sciences so am i only north campus?</p>
<p>south campus is not just for engineering, and L&S is not exclusive to north campus. south campus is mainly for science majors (chem, eng, bio, etc) i believe, and north is for liberal arts (comm, history, poli sci, etc)</p>
<p>L&S are ALL majors except tv&film&theater, engineering, and arts&architecture. South campus is where most of the engineering, life science, physical science, and math classes are at. North campus is where most of the humanities and social science classes are at. Occasionally you'll have one class that's on the opposite side of campus of where you'd normally expect them to be at.</p>
