UCLA engineering vs. social life

<p>Soo, I've been accepted to UCLA as a civil and environmental engineering major. When I was applying, I didn't really realize what I wanted to do and chose this on a whim. Now, however, I'm concerned that this major might be too demanding and will prevent me from participating in the social aspects that I had hoped to join in (i.e. sororities, clubs, etc.) and was considering a change in major. I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight into how demanding an engineering major is and possibly some insight into the UCLA social scene.</p>

<p>One of my good friends in undergrad double majored in Materials Science & Engineering and Biomedical Engineering, the president of his fraternity, and played on our school’s football team.</p>

<p>If you can manage your time well you won’t have a problem.</p>

<p>My son was a CE major, vice president of a Fraternity, and had plenty of socializing as an undergrad. And he socializes even more now that he is a grad student and has extra free time.</p>

<p>I’m a current cee major at ucla (hence the username). Sorry, but there’s really no set answer to your question. It all depends on you personally.</p>
