<p>Look here:

<p>Tour the school and research this carefully. It is an essential part of UCSD and the experience you would have there.</p>
<p>Search the UCSD forum, there have been a ton of discussions about the 6 colleges. And choose wisely, I hear it’s very difficult to change colleges once you are admitted to one.</p>
<p>do you have specific links? :x</p>
<p>Here’s a thread that discusses each college: </p>

<p>Start there… I would recommend doing a lot of research on your own to determine where you would be happiest! Take it seriously! :)</p>
<p>i am a current sd student/.
for any sci majors the best choice is revelle
and #2 is warren</p>
<p>there is NO ‘best’ college for anything, maybe with the exception of the engineers squirreled away in warren. i think applying the label ‘best’ tends to confuse freshmen and lead to endless “how do i change colleges” or “oh no, i’m an art major in revelle, is it the end of the world”-type questions.</p>
<p>i graduated with a chemistry degree from revelle, and while i’ll admit that their GEs were friendly to me, it might also because i came in with enough AP/transfer credit to pass out of most of my GEs. this can happen at any of the colleges. </p>
<p>there are many factors that should come into play when ranking colleges on your application: location, housing, philosophy, writing sequence, GE intensity – academics alone should NOT determine it all.</p>
<p>just know that if you want to be in John Muir College, make sure that it’s your first choice. i think they said everyone who is in Muir this year put it as their first choice. i’m not sure about the other colleges though.</p>
<p>muir '12 represent! : )</p>
