Hey, if you’re like me, you randomly ranked your colleges when you applied to UCSD and didn’t realize that in some ways, they’re really quite different.
<h2>If so, here are some of the more useful sites I found to figure out what you’ve gotten yourself into (congrats!). Also useful for prospective applicants to have a read.</h2>
Start at this link
<h2><a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/visit/colleges.html[/url]”>http://www.ucsd.edu/visit/colleges.html</a> :: info on your colleges, from the colleges</h2>

Bit from UCSD’s Dept of of Comp Sci and Eng:
“Earlier Graduation
The undergraduate programs are designed so that students from many of the UCSD colleges (in particular Warren, Muir, and Marshall) will only need to complete less than 190 units for graduation. Students from Revelle, Roosevelt (formerly Fifth), and Sixth College will need less than 210 units for graduation. It is realistic for students to graduate within four years.”

Nice sum up from this source:

"Revelle - UCSD’s first college, named in honor of UCSD’s founder; focused on developing “a well-rounded student who is intellectually skilled and prepared for competition in a complex world.” Revelle general education requirements lean towards biology and chemistry.
John Muir - humanitarian emphasis focused on the “spirit of self-sufficiency and individual choice.” John Muir college is nearest to Black’s Beach, a historical nude beach.
Thurgood Marshall - emphasizes “scholarship, social responsibility and the belief that a liberal arts education must include an understanding of [one’s] role in society.” Marshall general education requirements include community service.
Eleanor Roosevelt - emphasizes a comprehensive, competitive general education. The Eleanor Roosevelt student body is roughly 75% female.
Earl Warren - emphasizes the connection between one’s undergraduate education and one’s personal and career goals. Warren College is often perceived as the ‘nerdiest’ campus.
<h2> Sixth College - UCSD’s newest college; encourages exploration of the “historical and philosophical connections among culture, art and technology.” "</h2>

if you have a lot of time, this students review page says some things about the colleges might want to take it with a pinch of salt since some of them seem overly disgruntled
