UCSD - Sixth College. Is it really that bad?

<p>I was accepted to UCSD to Sixth College. However, as I was reading old threads about it, I found out that many people disliked it. Is Sixth College really that bad?</p>

<p>Well I guess it depends on what you mean by “that bad”. What were people saying about it that they didn’t like?</p>

<p>From my personal experience, it really isn’t that bad.</p>

<p>Did you rank Sixth College as one of your higher preferences or did you just get placed in it? It will probably help if you read up on it:

<p>I was also admitted to Sixth :slight_smile: (my 1st choice); personally, it seems intriguing and the GE requirements don’t look too bad in comparison to Revelle. I’m not an artsy-fartsy person (so I hesitated at first about the CAT core), but I DO like the idea of the Practicum.</p>

<p>Freaked out over all of the CC posts about “Camp Snoopy” and the “far” dorms too, trust me… been going to sleep at 2 AM reading up on all the pro and cons of going to Sixth. </p>

<p>but after filling myself up with information about Sixth, I really don’t mind too much about getting accepted into Sixth. I was still accepted into UCSD, so I’m really happy! living in a ‘campground’ really isn’t that bad, especially if I’m only staying there my freshman year. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about how far Sixth is compared to the other colleges- but imho, everyone’s lazy. Taking a few extra minutes to get to your class really can’t be that hard. </p>

<p>I got accepted as a Biochemistry major, (I want to go into the medical field, but I don’t feel comfortable placing all of my eggs into a pre-med major… lol.) and I hear the more variety you take as an undergrad (CAT vs. taking straight edge science courses), the more appeal-able you look to graduate schools. I could be wrong, but… really, don’t freak out too much! </p>

<p>take it from someone who’s lost sleep over researching sixth over these past few days too :P</p>

<p>I lived in camp snoopy freshman year and it wasn’t bad - most exciting year of my life actually. I got lucky and had many classes literally right outside my dorm.</p>

<p>I was accepted to Sixth too! I have literally been stressing about it, but honestly I don’t think it will be THAT bad. At least we weren’t rejected. (:</p>

<p>And as for the distance from other places on campus, I plan on bringing a bike, so I think that will solve that problem!</p>

<p>I feel like the whole camp feel will make it easier to make friends and meet people, which is really what I am looking forward to!</p>
