i personally think it all depends on you and your major. luke (random krn) and i pretty much have it the worst because we are both engineering majors (ratio of guys to girls are like 10:1 in our major classes). even so, it's not that bad at all. you'll meet a lot of people; some cool, some not so much... but it all depends on you. at the same time, i can't completely disagree with luke either. there are some anti-social people here but where are they not? the city itself (la jolla) is not a college town (like westwood for ucla), so that might explain why some people are anti-social... i personally don't mind it because it's pretty relaxed (i went to HS in LA so i've been tired of crowded/busy cities). so yea, you can take my word for it as well. i'm not some anti-social geek or nothing either. in fact, i am very much more awesome than luke in real life  lolto sum it up, i usually recommend ppl to come to ucsd because even though i am an engineering major which requires me to give up most of my social life, i've met a lot of cool ppl down the line and have had a genuinely nice experience here at ucsd thus far.

If you try to chat up people in bus, 4/5 people either thinks 1) you are lonely or 2) you are hitting on them. Fuck people, fucking loosen up. It's so bad that it's like unwritten rule that you shut up, and sit 1 seat away from everyone unless the bus is full or you have friends. Antisocial fuckers man, I swear. Oh and people are fucking stupid too. To me UCSD is kind of a mixed bag. It's true that college is what you make of it, but the social atmosphere at our school is drab at best. The fact that we don't have a strong college sports program and no football team only adds to that. Luke is pretty much right that people here, in general, seem anti-social. To what extent is debatable. Everything Luke said is 100% true. You will get weird looks from people if you say "hi" to them on the bus, and they will think you're trying to hit on them or you're lonely, but it makes me wonder if this is the case anywhere else. Maybe I've been here way too long and have no idea what normal social interaction with strangers is like. Kinda sad actually. On a positive note, UCSD is a pretty good school for engineering. You'll meet motivated students and decent professors, and when you graduate you'll have earned a degree from a reputable institution. This generally leads to a well paying job in whatever engineering field you're from. If you're very serious about getting your diploma and a quality education without any bells and whistles, then you're probably a typical UCSD student. I'd equate going to UCSD as about the same as going through an assembly line. People come in and they get churned out with a certain set of skills, there's nothing unique about the people, nor the process. If I could go back in time, I'd probably have chosen another school to go to for my undergraduate degree. The sad thing is that while the campus (and its inhabitants) is boring, San Diego as a city is amazing. La Jolla is absolutely beautiful, and there's a lot of things you can do down here. I'd definitely live here; but I wouldn't go to school here. (Not UCSD anyway.) On a final note, girls at our school are generally unattractive; just my personal opinion anyway. | ||

I agree with you that UCSD girls as a whole are below average, but there are some cute ones as well. You just gotta know where to look. I disagree with you about going to UCSD being like going through an assembly line though. If you say it like that, is it supposed to be different at other schools? Would it have been different if I pursued education at Berkeley? Fill me in please... Personally, I've never considered going to UCSD in that way during my four years here. Happy finals | ||

So, I guess you were trying to say that going to school in general is like going through an assembly line, not just at UCSD...

You'll meet A LOT of people living on campus and also in your general education/ lower division classes. You won't really be taking only your major classes, so you'll be fine for a while. Also, good job on picking warren. That's the best choice if you are an engineering major. What engineering major are you? | ||

Otherwise it'd be unfair. | ||
