<p>Hi, I'm about to enter UCSD this fall as a freshman, and I have a couple questions. </p>
<p>For one I'm in under Physics but I want to transfer to Aerospace Engineering. I know my GPA is going to have to be amazing to switch in since its impacted, so I'm looking at some advice on the classes I should take. I'm planning on taking Math 20 C, Physics 4A (They told me I could take the Physics for Physics majors series), MAE 2, Chem 6A, and possibly a GE. Considering my major situation, should I take more? Any recommendations on these classes?</p>
<p>As for housing I'm stuck between a double and triple. Is the triple really crowded? I kind of want to meet more people, should I go triple or double?</p>
<p>If you take those 5 classes your first quarter, there is a decent/good likelihood you won’t get that high GPA you need. Those courses are all fairly demanding and you might die with 5. I personally only took 13 units my first quarter to get situated - you probably can’t do that few in your situation but it really is a HUUGEE transition from high school to college and you don’t want to get burnt out immediately.</p>
<p>If you’re a guy I don’t think triples are that bad… unless you have awful roommates of course, which is a possibility. Triples are worse for girls because they have a lot more stuff and the room gets very cluttered. From my experience. </p>
<p>Anddd if you want to meet a lot of people you should join the greek system or clubs/intramural sports, your dorm room won’t affect your social situation too much. Just my 2 cents.</p>
<p>Whoa whoa whoa. Are you trying to kill yourself with that many classes? Don’t underestimate college classes, they’re a lot different than high school. Plus who really wants to sit in their room/the library the first quarter of freshman year studying!? My advice to you as a bio major is to take it easy with the classes and ALWAYS take a G.E. every quarter. The G.E. will boost your grade and not force you to decide on which science to focus more on. </p>
<p>As for the triple or double question, if you live in a college where they have true triples, space really isn’t that big of an issue. If you live in say, Warren college with the fake triples which are really meant to be doubles, it’s a little tight, even if you’re a guy. </p>
