UC San Diego College Preference

In UCSD application, I have to choose “College reference”. What is this? I am interested in computer science, why are these colleges related to me?

Still do not know what this means…

There are 6 residential colleges, each with its own dorms and each with its own set of requirements. It’s not that difficult. All the information is there…

@golftlist. You are applying to a school that has 6 residential colleges with different GE’s, dorms and eating areas. You rank them from 1-6 based on your preference. It does not matter what major you plan to pursue since they are not major specific. I think you should do more research on UCSD since you are not aware of their Residential College system. I gave the links for more information.

^ We went through this exercise last year and based on internet research and from what he read at CC he picked and was accepted to Muir College, which seemed to be the most popular. I think the fact that is was closest to the beach might be what makes it so popular!!
