<p>Hello, I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I'm wondering what effect transferring schools has on social life during college? </p>
<p>Let me explain the reason why I'm asking. I'm currently a Freshman living on campus at UCSD, and am considering transferring to Cal Poly Pomona next year; at Cal Poly, I would be living at home. I was just wondering if making this transfer would be a setback socially...</p>
<p>well depends on your situation, why do you want to transfer to cal poly?</p>
<p>I'm interested in participating in their architecture program, which is not offered at UCSD. It would also be a lot cheaper to attend Cal Poly than it would be to attend UCSD.</p>
<p>well since social life is essentially non existent at UCSD, you shouldnt have a problme.. ahha</p>
<p>Social life is non-existent at UCSD? </p>
<p>Sorry, but you're making a ridiculous generalization. I would say that UCSD's on C-A-M-P-U-S life is less lively than, uhhhhh, UCLA, but.. just considering sd's off campus surroundings, attending ucsd can speak volumes for social life.</p>
<p>Are you just saying that because it's not considered a typical "party-school" like ucsb or colorado?</p>
<p>lol</p>
<p>well, La Jolla isn't really a college community...and for most on-campusers, getting away is a tad difficult, as you'll have to spend a bit of time on pub transit. For people like me who spend a lot of time studying, it's just inconvenient.</p>
<p>Besides that, ucsd is not what I would call a vibrant campus...politically and culturally apathetic for the most part. It's really an oversized technical/research school trying to fulfill the obligations of a four-year public institute with a sizeable proportion of its funding tagged to research.</p>
<p>I see, thanks for the clarification... it does seem that way, yes... </p>
<p>But, there are PLENTY of housing communities off-campus that are realistically no more than 10 mins. from campus.</p>
