<p>The ‘college’ doesn’t matter as far as the major goes - any major can be had at any of the 6 colleges. As bovertine said, the difference is in the GEs with most people agreeing that Muir and Warren have the most flexible on GEs which is good for some majors loaded with required courses like engineering/CS. The main point of the different colleges besides the GEs is to help make the campus feel somewhat smaller since the Muir people live in one section, the Revelle people in another, etc. Each college also has its own dining hall but any student can eat at any of the dining halls. The Mexican restaurant in Muir (assuming it’s still there) has really good tortilla chips!</p>
<p>My D was at Muir and was a CS major/Chem minor. The classes can actually be all over campus regardless of the college one’s in - i.e. my Muir D had classes at Muir, Warren, Revelle, etc. After the first 2 years when one moves off campus (assuming one lived on campus the first 2 years), it doesn’t matter much anyway and the focus will be more the fellow students in the major or other common interest areas.</p>
<p>btw - My D audited a course (for the fun of it) given by Dr. Ramachandran, the author of ‘Phantoms of the Brain’. We had seen some specials he’s done on PBS. He’s a very interesting and engaging neuroscientist and I read his book I just mentioned (I recommend it for your D). [Vilayanur</a> S.
