University of California-San Diego Top Questions

The programs avaliable as an undergraduate to obtain my masters quicker than if I was in another institution.

There are 3 things which I believe make the campus most unique. (1) Every college has a sort of theme. For example, Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC) is about international studies, Warren is more geared towards science and engineering, Sixth has a reputation of being the more artsy students. No college looks like another. The dorms are all over different, all the dining halls have their own appeal, and the classrooms are built differently too. (2) The Stuart Collection - it's a collection of eclectic art pieces all over campus. You'll recognize them when you see them! (3) UCSD has been named the number 1 college in its efforts to be more eco-friendly.

I think one of the most unique thing about UC San Diego is the environment. We live in such a beautiful place and right beside the beach. Even when it is "cold" you will find people sporting shorts or dresses. I don't think any other UC has a setting that competes with UCSD's. The campus is huge and there is so much art displayed all over. Here is a website with information on the art you can find at UCSD: http://stuartcollection.ucsd.edu/

International House is the best thing at my school, because it offers numerous cultural activities for students to get involved with. Also, they offer apartments to UCSD students, so they can live with students from all over the world and get involved in different cultural activities.

The best thing I consider about this school is the opportunities for biological and scientific research. This school's main focus is truly in the biological sciences as it is one of the leading research schools in the nation. It is well suited for those students who want to go into pre-med/healthcare/research fields in the future.

I really like the engineering department. Specifically the structural engineering department. It's a small department and the students all know each other pretty well. Generally on campus you don't feel like you're part of a family, but in this department, you do. The professors are generally nice and helpful and there is always a Teaching Assistant or professor available to help students who don't understand the material.

One of the greatest things about UCSD is probably Geisel Library. It has a very unique shape and is probably one of the eye-catching pieces of architecture on campus. It has no third floor, and right next to it is the infamous "snake path" that leads from Geisel Library to Warren College. Its highest floors are also infamous for being extremely quiet areas, so quiet that you could possibly be glared at very angrily by graduate students trying to study. It will also one day be your best friend; the best place to gather research for your papers.

The best thing is about this school is the many libraries that it provide for students to study in. Many of our libraries are open early in the morning to midnight. Besides this, there is a library that is open for 24 hours during the 10th and finals week of the quarter. On this campus, there is various centers that student can turn toward to, such as: women center, LGBT center, career center and many others.

It's near the beach so it's convenient to go often.

the amount of opportunities available because it gives you a chance to find what you're interested in
