So to sum up: Revelle- GE's require one of each science. large windows, right next to academic buildings, Asian food, far away from everywhere. No one likes this place. Muir- coffee shop, Hawaiian barbecue, vegan food, GE's aren't terrible, 20min of walking away from beach, near the middle of campus Sixth- newest dorms, concrete floor is made of concrete floor, dining hall has five stations, GE's are easy Marshall- dorms divided between residence halls and apartments, pizza, GE's are ok ERC- Everyone hates their MMW writing course, international students and allegedly near the good parties, Latin American food, next to a gym, relatively far Seventhy- far from everything, all dorms are apartments, sushi, GE"s are pretty good, Warren- Dorms are far, Mongolian food, all food is halal, all the engineering buildings are there, so good for the engineering majors but not great for everyone else
Second year ERC student here. Despite the somewhat infamous reputation of ERC's general education requirements (GE's), the Making of the Modern World (MMW) series is really the only notable feature. MWW, however, is a fairly unique animal - I don't think of it as a pure history course, but rather a cultures/global interactions series. The whole series is 5 classes, MMW 11 - 15, with the second two classes being worth 6 units (2 more units than standard). Note that the first three classes in the series MUST BE TAKEN SUCCESSIVELY, do not skip MMW 11,12, or 13 unless you want to wait a whole year for the class to be available again. There are several professors who teach the series and you are encouraged to jump between them, but it isn't unusual for students to pick their favorite prof and stick with them. If you enjoy, or have some talent for, writing then MWW will be an interesting challenge. If you absolutely despise writing or reading about historical cultures then maybe pick a different college. Edit: Fixed some information that was out of date. Thanks Chang.
I’m a Junior Transfer in ERC and I definitely didn’t do my research on the colleges because after completing the transfer MMW series I have to say that these courses are some of the worst the school has to offer. In reality it’s a writing, history, and philosophy class all wrapped up in several useless readings and assignments. I definitely recommend people to consider a different college, even the dorms are the on the most north point of campus making everyday another speed run.
@@oeowowowowiei6412 I genuinely don’t like the MMW courses at all, I think overall the college is fine but I think if you have better options available you should go with that. Now it isn’t so bad that you’re gonna drop out, it just feels like a waste of a class. If you’re a freshman you’ll be basically taking this course six times since UCSD is a quarter system. If you’re a transfer you’ll take it twice. I think ERC as a college is fine and you might enjoy the courses so I would go with whatever you think is right, plus if you’re a freshman you can possibly transfer colleges.
Hi, Sean. Great Video. My son got in UCSD Sixth college. Really liked your video. We also opted colleges randomly not knowing the details. We are much inclined to accept UCSD over some very good other collages he got in. The issue is he didn't got his major Computer Science, instead got it as undeclared. Is it possible for him to change the major to CS if he acquired the pre requisites and staying in sixth college, will in anyway help him in that?
i ranked the colleges randomly and i got into ERC 😭 cus that was my first choice but i’m kind of regretting it now.. do u think i can change that or are we stuck with it???
I hear you can transfer colleges if you can show that you can graduate a year early with another college's GEs. It's pretty uncommon for people to switch colleges, though.
I got accepted into ucsd yesterday and im on the john muir campus and i ranked them completely randomly 💀 well, i did do a little bit of research during my application but it was a literal 5 min google search so of course I dont know that much about each… is muir a good choice?
Congrats on the acceptance, and Muir is really good! GE-wise, their writing program is short but apparently quite rigorous. It's only 2 quarters long (other colleges are 3 or 5 quarters long), but the first one has 3 essays with increasing difficulty, and the second one has a 10-page research paper. Other than writing, the other GEs are very light compared to other colleges. Dorm-wise, their exterior is kind of grey and depressing, but on the inside, I heard they're somewhat nice; they also have an ocean view. The dorms are among the oldest, but their apartment building is fairly new, if you get put in there. More importantly, Muir is basically at the center of campus, so you don't have to walk as far as others do to your classes.
I'm a current Muir student and getting into the two required writing course is difficult but I liked it because once you finish those two writing courses you have more time to focus on other classes you want to take instead. And the writing courses weren't too bad if you have some background in AP English classes or just try. In addition, Muir's location is great in terms of its relative distance from everything including Sixth nicer restaurants while also being really close to the math, chemistry, and humanities building. Its also only 10 mins from the center hall and price center/library which is actually pretty great compared to colleges like Seventh. Honestly I was really happy with my choice and I'm sure you will come to like it too. Welcome to UCSD!
I also got into Revelle for this fall, I just accepted our fate as Inter-transferring to another college to UCSD still requires us to do 2 years of Humanites( arguably the worst part of revelle’s GEs) even so only ur best bet is to transfer to sixth after doing the ICT to transfer. Though I found a good perspective where people said humanities helped them especially for graduate school for a master or even PhD.
This doesn't really apply to transfers since they get their own housing right? And if you complete IGETC you shouldn't be taking much of the GE's when you get to ucsd ?
Yeah the GE requirements are a lot different for transfers; I think Revelle is the best for STEM majors followed by Muir based on what upperclassmen have said
Hello fellow transfer graduate here! The amount of GEs/lower division classes you will be taking as a transfer will depend on how many ucsd-required classes you weren't able to take at your CC - for example, some CCs don't offer a class or two especially if a lower div requirement from ucsd is super specific and exclusive. If you've completed all your IGETC requirements during your time in CC, you won't have to worry about re-taking them once you transfer to ucsd. *However*, some colleges have GE requirements and tracks for transfers (i.e. Marshall has a writing course requirement for all students, etc. - not talking about DOC btw) that are specific and unavailable in CCs so those would be the GEs you will have to take at ucsd on top of your required major courses (lower and upper div courses). When in doubt, ask a department/college counselor. Let me know if you have other questions!
How does eighth look? It says that it inaugural in fall 2023 so I can't find anything about it online yet. Also, do students usually choose colleges based on majors? (choose bio as my major)
EIGHTH COLLEGE? Applicants are asked to rank eight colleges now, but Eighth hasn't even been founded yet. Here's a tentative summary of GEs according to its proposal: www.reddit.com/r/UCSD/comments/wgir9e/eighth_college_is_on_the_uc_app_so_heres_a/
@@some_name9306 It just means not as many students (will probably just affect riding second years) will not get a housing offer immediately. The new college is to decompress students in other colleges, so they aren't going to enroll unusually more students
Muir, Sixth, and Seventh have an ocean view; the other colleges' dorms aren't tall enough I think. I think ERC's GEs can include learning about history. I think Rady's School of Management is where the business economics major and business minor are, and it's between Seventh and ERC.
@@seanthesheep i have been looking up about radys school of management and what college is that in? or is it it’s own little thing? nothing has been popping up about it since i have been trying to find out the requirements for it..
@@gissellemaravilla9553 I think Rady's School of Management is in Seventh College (it used to be in ERC before Seventh was founded). However, that doesn't mean you have to be a Seventh College student to take classes in the School of Management; a school or academic building being in a college just means that it's in the college's section of campus, and students can have classes that are in other colleges. It's a bit confusing because colleges refer to both its GEs/dorms and also its section of campus, so we use it to both refer to the college itself and where something is
For chemistry as an international student, which ones are the top 3 best (also with the best food and dorms) I would appreciate if you could share your opinion :)
Congratulations on your acceptance, but, uh, Revelle isn't that good. GE-wise, Revelle perhaps has among the most GEs. They require you to take five quarters of natural sciences (including one of chem, phys, bio) I believe (I might be wrong here). They also have five quarters of writing classes (other colleges have two or three), and the writing classes aren't that easy either, including a five-page paper on the Bible. UCSD only lets you transfer colleges if you can show that it lets you graduate a year early, and most of these transfers are from Revelle apparently. Their dorms are the oldest on campus, though their insides were renovated in 2014. Their apartments are new and have an ocean view.

Revelle is a bit better if you're a natural science major, and their GEs are pretty nice for transfers I think, but otherwise, it's not good.
Unfortunately, you can only transfer between colleges if you can show that you can graduate a year early with another college's GEs, and this happens rarely. Not liking history and writing isn't a reason for switching a college, and you can't avoid MMW. You could either avoid accepting UCSD's offer or just tolerate the five quarters of MMW
@@seanthesheep It's so cool that you still reply to comments 11 months later! Thank you so so much, that helped me a lot. I was stuck deciding between Muir and Sixth as number one because I'm very indecsive and I kept hearing good things about both :'D
@@glitterkiitty They both have light GEs and are in the middle of campus, so they're close to your classes. Muir has older dorms, and while their writing sequence is shorter, I've heard it's a lot more painful as well
Okay so I committed to UCSD a couple days ago and now I’m terrified because I got Revelle and everyone keeps saying it’s so hard because of the HUM but I am a chemical engineering major so it’s like??
Marshall's not a bad college! Sure, their dorms and apartments may be old, but at least they're fairly close to the center of campus. Also, Marshall's writing program is really nice because it has contract-based grading, where at the beginning of the quarter, you can write very easy requirements for an A as part of your contract, and then you just need to show improvement to get an A. In contrast, Sixth's writing sequence grades based on how good your essays are
@@seanthesheep that’s great news 😀, that makes me feel a little better for commuting such an atrocity as putting Marshall over Sixth as a CS major…. I really didn’t do my research
Warren is an okay college. Dorm-wise, it's pretty bad. The dorms are very old. The suites are pretty big, and the suite bathrooms are like public bathrooms with not that much privacy compared to other colleges. Warren itself is also very far from everyone else. GE-wise, they're not bad, especially if you're an engineering major, in which case you have 6 fewer courses to take compared to non-engineering majors. Their writing sequence is also pretty nice; it's only two quarters long, and they have contract-based grading, so at the beginning of the quarter you can just put simple requirements for you to get an A, and then you just need to show improvement to get an A. Because their GEs are very good for engineers, and all the engineering buildings are in Warren, Warren is pretty much entirely of engineering majors, so Warren has a stereotype of not taking showers and smelling
@@seanthesheep oh okay cuz i got accepted into warren but idk if i should dorm on campus or not😞 also in january ucsd emailed me saying to change my major bc it was impacted: Aerospace/Mechanical Engineering. So I changed it to History. Do you know anything about changing majors and how difficult that is? Thank you so much!
@@metalkent1460 Changing majors is very easy (just a single click of a button) and instant, with some caveats. Popular majors (engineering, computer science, and biology) are capped, so they have an application process that usually involves first taking some screening courses, and only a number of people are let in. Also, when you have a certain number of units (like junior/senior year), you'll have to submit a quarter-by-quarter plan if you want to switch majors
@@seanthesheep so would you recommend i still attend ucsd if i want to change my major to a capped one? they said i wouldnt be accepted had i stayed with mechanical 😞
Seventh College is a good college overall; it has very light GEs compared to other colleges. When you live on campus for the first year or two, you'll be far from the center of campus though, but at least you'll get an apartment, which has a kitchen

@@metalkent1460 Changing majors is very easy (just a single click of a button) and instant, with some caveats.
Popular majors (engineering, computer science, and biology) are capped, so they have an application process that usually involves first taking some screening courses, and only a number of people are let in.
Also, when you have a certain number of units (like junior/senior year), you'll have to submit a quarter-by-quarter plan if you want to switch majors
@@seanthesheep so would you recommend i still attend ucsd if i want to change my major to a capped one? they said i wouldnt be accepted had i stayed with mechanical 😞

I accepted seventh college without truly looking into it. I’m a sociology major.. 🥲 any advice?!
Seventh College is a good college overall; it has very light GEs compared to other colleges. When you live on campus for the first year or two, you'll be far from the center of campus though, but at least you'll get an apartment, which has a kitchen
@@seanthesheep thank you for replying😊
Ahhhh. So nervous.. but hey! There’s a kitchen 😀 Ty again!
Switch majors
What would you say is the best for public health major?
