Where is the best, most concise place to read about the UCSD colleges?

<p>I read about them online on the UCSD website, but I still don't really grasp what admission to the different colleges means. Or, BETTER YET, share your personal opinion on each of the colleges. </p>

<p>I got into Warren, for what it's worth.</p>

<p>Each college has its own philosophy regarding education. Warren’s for example is “Toward a Life in Balance”. Basically it just means that there are different gen ed requirements for each college that is based on their respective philosophy.</p>

<p>Each of the 6 colleges has different general education requirements. Here’s a quick comparison chart: <a href=“http://www.ucsd.edu/_files/6collegescompared.pdf[/url]”>http://www.ucsd.edu/_files/6collegescompared.pdf&lt;/a&gt;
Some colleges have a lot more GE’s, but it would be a good fit for you if you’re interested in those classes/subjects.</p>

<p>They also differ in housing, dining and location on campus, although it doesn’t really matter if you’ll be a transfer living off campus. Some colleges are known for being popular with certain majors, but you can still declare for any major no matter what college you’re in.</p>

<p>As a transfer student, there are some colleges that still require you to take additional courses when you get to UCSD on top of IGETC/TAP/other similar program. If you haven’t completed IGETC or some other program like that, then you must adhere to all the GE’s of your new college, which can be a big hassle for the ones that have a lot of requirements. I’ve found no simple way to compare these except to go to each individual college’s website and look at what fulfills their general education requirements.</p>

<p>ya… that link isn’t very helpful because it doesn’t tell you stuff for transfer students. </p>

<p>There was a great page I found when i was looking into the different colleges. But that was a while ago, and i can’t find that page now.</p>
