<p>So what's dorm life like?</p>
<p>I got accepted as a Physiology and Neuroscience major to Sixth College! All I’ve heard is that the dorms are more like suites. And there are more three-people rooms than two-people rooms.</p>
<p>Yeah…I’d prefer doubles though. Plus, I heard the dorms are below average compared to the other colleges.</p>
<p>I’m a freshman living at Sixth college now in the residence halls. Most rooms are triples and they are incredibly small but you learn to live with it. The dorms are set up in buildings that look like lodges. There are four suites in one lodge-two for boys two for girls. The suites are connected by a bathroom that you share with the same sex. In each suite, most of the time there are two double rooms and three triple rooms. This is a great way to meet people but the rooms are really really small if you live in a triple. If you would like to have a single, last year on the housing form there was an option to live in the Sixth college apartments which is where most second year students in Sixth live. The rooms are bigger and they also have kitchens. The apartments are also closer to the dining hall but they are not as social as the residence halls are. Sadly Sixth does have some of the oldest and worst housing on campus however, it is a fairly social college in comparison to the others if you put the work in.</p>
<p>Feel free to leave any more questions about Sixth on here, I’m happy to help :)</p>
<p>^ Yeah. Listen to this one.</p>
<p>Also in Sixth! UCSD is my second choice, so if I don’t get into Berkeley I’ll be seeing you there. :)</p>
<p>3.3 gpa here accepted in sixth!</p>
<p>I’m a first year student right now living in the dorms at sixth college, and it’s been a great experience! Since sixth college is smaller than the other colleges, it has much more of a “homey” feel, since you’ll probably know people from many of the buildings. Dont worry about crappy dorms or whatever, they’re not bad at all. Triples are a little cramped, but its not a big deal if you dont spend too much of your time in your room!</p>
<p>Are there a lot of party-people around your dorms? I don’t want to hear a lot of noise late at night…</p>
<p>Thank you for the feedbacks 
very much appreciated</p>
<p>^ Yeah the building which I live in is a “party building” where everyone loves to hang out together and party. We try to be considerate about the “no music past quiet hours” thing and the RAs are there to enforce it so it shouldn’t be a big problem. However the walls ARE super thin so you can hear the music downstairs if it is playing loud.</p>
<p>I got accepted to Sixth (for bioengineering). I might see you there :)</p>
<p>Yes, got into UCSD - Sixth College (third choice).</p>
<p>@LacrossGoalie: same herzzz!! doesn’t the flowchart of the BioE ciriculum just freak you out??</p>
<p>First, I’d like to give my sincerest condolences for your acceptance into Sixth College. That being said, the dorms in Sixth are reminiscent of a log cabin built by a burly man right after the American Revolution. In a suite, 9 out of 10 rooms are triples. 1 out of 10 is a double. Two suites are connected by a bathroom with 4 showers and 3 toilets, as mentioned by a previous poster. For the dorms near the parking lot, facing south, prepare for a year of ungodly humidity (admittedly, it is not unlike living in Satan’s backside).</p>
<p>^ Any chances I can get an apartment? I submitted my housing contract the moment I got admitted, and on the housing site it says ," First-year residents may also be housed in Sixth College apartments".</p>
<p>^Yeah it’s possible. I generally wouldn’t recommend it for freshmen, but it’s possible.</p>
<p>Why? Social factor?</p>
<p>^Pretty much. I just think it would be better to live in a community full of freshmen your first year. Obviously if you’re a super involved person, it shouldn’t matter too much, but I think it would just be good in general. I’m not totally against, but it’s just my recommendation.</p>
<p>Hmm, I see. Yeah, I would like to have more people, but I don’t think I can stand living in a triple (there are hardly any doubles). I’ll think about it more. I have tons of time anyways. </p>
<p>If I turned in my housing on the first day we were admitted, does that mean I’m pretty much guaranteed any room (single, double, triple) or am I still in a lottery?</p>
<p>^I think it should give you priority if they haven’t changed anything, but I can’t make any guarantees. UCSD acts in mysterious ways.</p>
