<p>Oh God, I’m so happy that I probably won’t have to take physics or chemistry again :)</p>
<p>Btw, is it bad that I’m an economics major, but I’m in Warren? 'Cause I read Warren is mostly engineering students.</p>
<p>No! Not at all. I know a lot of non-science majors at Warren.</p>
<p>Is it at all bad to be undeclared? I feel like that could make it tricky to complete my PofC’s if I don’t even know what area my major is in…</p>
<p>So does Warren have any intramural teams? Anyone going Greek?</p>
<p>[Does</a> somebody want to explain to me how you get onto the top bunks?](<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube)</p>
<p>^There will be a ladder. I don’t know why they don’t have there’s in yet.</p>
<p>Holy crap, that room is tiny! How do three people fit in there!?</p>
<p>^Yeah it’s tiny, but you’ll fit. You also have the common room right outside of your room and it’s not like you’re stuck in there all day anyway.</p>
<p>I’m probably going to get a triple. should be fun</p>
<p>So this may sound dumb, but Warren’s leniency is kind of overwhelming to me. Since I’m undeclared, I was hoping to mostly knock out some GEs Freshman year to figure out what I want to major in. In Warren, if I take Warren Writing 10A and 10B my first two quarters along with Math 20B and 20C, that’s two free spots I won’t know what to take each quarter, and my Spring quarter would be completely void of any structure. I mean, obviously this is not a terrible thing because I could be drowning in gen. ed. like Revelle students, but I’m just wondering how hard it is for a Freshman to structure a quarter when I don’t know my major nor my PofC’s (I plan to do the Humanities PofC, but I have a 4 on APUSH so I would be taking upper div. classes for that after one lower div. humanities course… would it be bad to take upper div. classes Freshman year? Also, on the off chance I decide to major in Lit/Writing or something, I’ll have taken art, philosophy, etc. classes that count towards nothing.)</p>
<p>Thank you guys so much and sorry if this was a poor question.</p>
<p>@Jesuis, Use the process of elimination. Look at the list of majors at UCSD, read about possible careers, read descriptions of the majors online and look at the whole list of classes. Pick two majors that you think are interesting. Then sign up for one of their intro courses from each of the two you picked your first quarter and do the same your second quarter. For example you take math 20B and 20C and realize that you absolutely dislike math you can kind of start to eliminate majors that are math intensive (Engineering).</p>
<p>Okay, so I guess I should focus more on finding a major before I focus on general education. Does an intro course generally give you a good idea of what a major will be like? It seems like it would be so watered down that it would be hard to get a real feeling. I guess I really shouldn’t worry until it gets closer to signing up for classes and I’m done with high school; I just really have no idea what I want to major in and it’s kind of stressing me out (even though I always get the notorious “don’t stress about your major at first” speeches from adults.)</p>
<p>Can’t you take Phil 27 or something like that? Those two require ethics courses can be done in your first year as well. I agree with Arctic; you must have an inkling at least of what you’d like to do. I think I plan to get a minor in Computer Engineering(completely non-contiguous with my major of Economics, so I hope I can use it to replace one PofC) because it seems so interesting to me. Anything stands out to you?</p>
<p>My advice would be to pick an area in each field (so one science/math, one social science, and one humanities) and begin taking classes in each that could be used for both a major, or a program of concentration. That way, when you figure out which one you would like to major in, you can use those other classes from the other fields for your programs of concentration.</p>
<p>Also, no he couldn’t take Phil/Poli 27, because they have to be taken after Warren Writing. So the earliest one could take that class is spring quarter of freshman year.</p>
<p>That’s what I was thinking, Sarah. I think I’m going to take cogsci classes and then I can apply the basic ones to either science or social science. Thanks!</p>
<p>Also, Phil 27 is not offered Spring quarter, so I’ll likely take it Fall 2012.</p>
<p>All the triples in warren will be converted back to doubles next school year.

<p>So, there will be zero triple rooms? Aw, I was kind of looking forward to it actually. Which is strange, since I’m relatively introverted.</p>
<p>And how will they have room for that? Is there going to be more overflow housing, or did less people get admitted to Warren? I’m hoping it’s the latter, because I do not want to end up in Revelle…</p>
<p>Ah, thanks sarah, didn’t read close enough.</p>
<p>JeSuis, we should be fine, because we submitted our housing contracts early, so I think that gives us priority, right?</p>
<p>I believe so. Although, I find it hard to believe that clicking “Submit housing application” was enough to give us priority…</p>
<p>Either way, I’m submitting my SIR as soon as I receive my Berkeley rejection (Thursday), so I should be getting everything in relatively soon.</p>
