<p>so how great are the programs? i'm a transfer looking itn ogoing to UCSD... the pro of UCSD is that they actually have both my majors& not impacted either. the cons are.... 100 miles from home and i hear the social life sucks there. so how is the social life? anything else you guys do besides the beach? i'm not much of a beach girl.. snowboarder here. :) i live in the OC and plan on coming home every weekend.. how bad is the traffic? oh and also, does my pick of the 6 colleges really affect me since id already be done with my GEs?</p>
<p>the show is the hollywood version of the city. depends on which part of the OC you're in. theres rich, nice places and poor places. dramas everywhere in whatever city you're in.</p>
<p>First of all, there is no way you can live 100 miles away from UCSD and life in Orange County as even the northern most point of Orange County is not 100 miles away from La Jolla. And may I suggest you calling it Orange County instead of the "OC," I'm sorry, but it stereotypes the entire county as being a bunch of rich pricks that all somehow life in Laguna Beach.</p>
<p>Secondly the theatre program is fairly good, I know nothing about the communications program though. The theatre program is deffinately theory heavy instead of majority hands-on (our graduate program is VERY good, 3rd in the nation behind NYU and Yale, so sometime in terms of actual productions the Ugrads get ignored) We only put on one Ugrad production a quarter, the remainder of the productions are graduate ones where you only have chance to be a minor role in any of those productions.</p>
<p>And at UCSD we do everything normal college students do, we don't live in a college town, so that aspect of life is a little different, but we party, study, hang out with friends, have jobs, get internships, if your interested in theatre go to see plays at the Tony award winning La Jolla Playhouse, and we even have a few good Sports teams. So...hope that helps.</p>
<p>in no way did i say i was rich or anything. it is simply quicker to type in OC than Orange County. must we call LA Los Angeles? the city of San Diego is 100 miles away, La Jolla is 90- sorry for a 10 mile confusion.</p>
<p>anywho, the theatre program is more theory based? errr... i was hoping more hands-on. thanks for that tip, nonetheless. sucks that ugrad get ignored in productions for the most part..........</p>
<p>haha youll find things to do...and is going from orange county to here really that different in terms of snowboarding?? im from sac area and i can tell you i miss tahoe like no other, lol..i only went boarding once last year, it was around (big bear?) and my friend caught an edge real bad, ate it, and broke her arm completely in half...soooo, that ended the season for us haha</p>
<p>going home every weekend?? that will make it real hard for you to transition into ucsd and make friends..plus its costly, but i guess to each his own.</p>
<p>and as for your college pick, some of them arent (igtc?) or whatever, where they wont accept transfer credit, so i would make sure to check out that the once you choose is, and that you have finished all or most of their ge's if you dont want to be taking those classes.</p>
<p>Actually, the 6 colleges DOES matter. Each college has its own requirement, I forgot what 2 colleges accepts it fully (IGETC) but others such as Revelle and ERC has an additional like 4-5+ classes if you get into those colleges.</p>
<p>Besides GE's, the 6 colleges differ really only in dining/location/dorms..</p>
<p>I started writing out all the details of the dining and location before I remembered you're a transfer..so you wouldn't be living on campus anyway. So none of that really matters to you..</p>
