thank you for this I just got accepted for bioengineering and am still trying to decide between other schools. do you have any insight on how sixth college is like?
Hey! I just got accepted for this Fall of 2024 as a Human Bio major, at 8th college! While im still waiting on my FAFSA, im almost ready to commit to UCSD, yet i have my doubts as i heard jnr and snr yr students arent "guaranteed" on campus housing. I dont think itd be completely possible for me to live off campus due to the expenses. Is what i mentioned earlier true?
ucsd has a 2 year housing guarantee so yes if you're coming in as a freshman, after your second year you are not completely guaranteed on campus housing, but it is still possible. if it helps at all, at that point you'd have met roommates/suitemates that you could live which i'd imagine makes the process easier and less stressful. from what i've heard living off-campus can be cheaper than on-campus especially if you're splitting the costs with multiple people, but i don't think the cost difference is very significant
Got accepted as a CS transfer, deciding between UCSD and UCI rn. Seen transfer housing, Rita and Pepper Canyon East (and there’s a new one called West), any recommendations?
FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATS! second, marshall is great! If you’re living on campus, it’s in a good location and it’s a fun spot cause its kind of in the middle of campus so getting around is superrr manageable. The GE’s are great and i heard from my friends in marshall that the DOC writing class is pretty straightforward and stufff and i love marshall’s theme! Just know that you are NOT limited to your college and that your network definitely goes beyond your college! Meet people and make a difference everywhere! If you have more questions tho dm me @jtjtc on instagram heheheh
Quick question. Did you come into UCSD with any AP credits? I didn't report any of my test scores, so I'm just really worried that Im going to be at the very bottom of the priority list when it comes to choosing classes.. So far, I made a list of all the classes that interest me, so is there a chance that I can't get into a single class I want, and end up having to choose harder classes that don't pertain to my interests??
hi! yes i did come in with AP credits. I came in with around 60 so I already was a sophomore right when i came in. There honestly is a chance that all your classes get taken up especially if they are in higher demand. My fall quarter i had to go through 3 plans to finally get a class that I didnt waitlist in
@@jarenz i did take 10 units worth of theater elective classes at a CC while i was in HS. Since these classes wouldn’t count towards any of my ERC GEs, would they count towards my cumulative units at ucsd? In other words, does that mean technically i’m starting at ucsd with 10 units already completed, or am i still at 0..
I say a good amount of people attend the games, but not on the scale of UCLA, USC, Stanford, etc. You can go to SDSU football games relatively easily depending on ur patience lol cause i think it takes like 40 min to get there through public transportation
heyy, i got into UCSD for bioinformatics. i’m between UCSD and UCSB bc UCSD is super close to home which I don’t like and i’m kinda nervous abt the socially dead aspect. how easy it is to get around? like with buses and scooters and bikes
woah bioinformatics is super cool. it’s manageable, because the shuttles and stuff do come around often, but the scooters and bikes make life so much more convenient honestly tho, being away from home is nice just for the independence aspect, but if the socially dead part is a big factor, just remember that it depends on u! ucsd pushes u to grow in terms of networking skills and become more intact with ur social desires
@@jarenz thank u! i’ve heard it’s hard to make friends here cause people aren’t very open or wanting to socialize. That sounds like a huge generalization but I just wanted to ask what your experiences were with people being open to making friends
@@jarenz Thanks! It's going to help so much for me and other students. (I'm a community college transfer, but I am assuming there's nothing different about the college system from a Community College Transfer and an Entering Freshman)
Hiii! ERC IS NOT BAD AT ALL!!! ALL MY FRIENDS AT ERC ARE VIBING! Especially as a transfer student, you’re chilling! as a transfer, u don’t really have to go through all the GEs, so you would be mainly focusing on classes for ur major!
admitted as undeclared. how hard to get into CS 11 and Calc 2 this coming fall ? thinking of Computer Engineering at the engineering department and risking that high GPA requirement. thanks
CSE 11 is very tough to get into because a lot of people try to get into that class since it's one of the easier/lighter computer science courses. Calc 2 is UCSD's MATH 20B or MATH 10B and I would say it easier to get into it in relation to cse 11, but it is still pretty tough since it is a common general requirement for many students
@@jarenz Thank you for the quick reply. I am just having a nightmare about the thought of not getting into these CS classes. I saw horror stories about getting waitlisted in these classes and not getting in. I took AP CSA so CSE 11 is the logical intro CS class for me at UCSD. DOn't know if I want to roll the dice in UCSD and hope for the best or go to the CC route. I am just confused. Thanks again for your time kabayan. Also fellow Pinoy here :)
@@temle7489 No problem kabayan! honestly i was in the same dilemma in terms of going to cc or ucsd, but going to ucsd has been the best decision that i have made in my life because aside from the academic matters, the opportunities, friends, and experiences are so worth the choice! I strongly encourage you to choose ucsd just because it brought me to learn that things do end up working out, even if it doesn't feel like that in the moment. however, i support your decision regardless! happy admissions :)
how is living at seventh college?? is it hard to make friends in the dorms? is the distance from seventh to classes really far? do you bike or take some form of transportation to ur classes? im really considering ucsd but being accepted into seventh is making me feel unsure because of the distance and whatnot :(
heyo i'm the girl at the end lol and as someone in seventh, it's great in terms of housing but it can be pretty difficult to make friends bc we don't have as many communal spaces as the other colleges + everyone is isolated into their dorms BUT that's also bc we had covid restrictions this year. for y'all next year, it could def be easier idk. the distance doesn't rlly get easier, but the school shuttles, scooters, etc. make it better (i still walk a lot of the time tho lol). i personally am never at seventh just bc i find it less time-consuming to stay out rather than commute. one solution is to live in i-house or some other llc, but also consider that you probably won't be living on-campus and at seventh all four years of college, so don't think of the distance as a make-or-break reason unless you have personal/medical/etc. reasons
@@alfiepaloma7551 aw thank u for the response! yeah I'm scared that finding friends would be difficult in those dorms but do clubs and orgs accept be helpful in terms of social life? do people in seventh college interact with people in their college outside of their suite mates?
Hiiii it was honestly not that hard to make friends because I have met many friendly people, but like Alfie said, there are not as many communal spaces as the other colleges, so many people form seventh usually stay at other spaces on campus. I do believe seventh is the best dorm because every room is apartment style, and the distance is very manageable. It does take more energy, but it gets you out more and pushes you to explore the campus more. And in response to your question about clubs, THEY ARE AMAZING. Most of my close friends were either made in clubs, or our friendship was made stronger because of clubs. That's actually how I met alfie haha and we are super close friends because of the filipino club on campus (btw i strongly encourage you to join the club "kaibigang pilipin@" because you don't have to be filipino! it's a super safe, comforting, expressive, and friendly space). lastly, i interact with people at seventh outside of my suitemates more than my actual suitemates tbh. I almost never hang out with my suitemates, and some of my best friends are those outside of my suite. the situation does vary because many people's suitemates are their main friend group, but you are never limited to your suite, and even your college. friends can be found everywhere! even off campus :)
this depends on if you have instate or outstate tuition! it costs around 35,000-37,000 for all four years to attend but it also depends if you want to live on campus or off campus as well. if youre able to get scholarships or grants it would reduce the cost too :)

Very informational. Thank you dn jarenz for such great insight into UCSD.
love u sir jansay
I just got accepted into UCSD!! I’m so nervous and this lowkey helped
CONGRATS! I am always willing to give new info and advice if needed :)
Thank you so much for making this video. You’re very well-spoken!
Just commited and very excitedd any chance we could be friends lol

CONGRATSSS and I’d say West is newer, and Pepper Canyon East is right next to trolley and closer to campus than Rita, but Rita is a nice vibe
so so true! i also did a video about sd on my channel
what recommendation would you have for future tritons who are interested in making campus a better place for other students?
So true bestie
i committed here already, vv excited and nervous about what the future holds, im in the marshall college, any general things i should know ?
FIRST OF ALL, CONGRATS! second, marshall is great! If you’re living on campus, it’s in a good location and it’s a fun spot cause its kind of in the middle of campus so getting around is superrr manageable.

Are there single rooms or is it required to share a room? UCSD is my dream school and I want to get an idea before I work for housing
there are singles!
As other also admitted as undeclared, but if I want to major in Business, would you recommend UCSD? Thanks by the way!
YESSSSSSS congrats btw and i would recommend UCSD business is fire over here and the rady school of business building is cool lol
ucsd doesn’t offer a bachelor’s for business administration but they have business econ and international business btw
ily gang ty
of course i love you too i hope we run into each other
Hi, I wanna know if there's any problems if I don't have any ap scores, will it affect Choosin classes or taking tests? Thanks!
it will affect choosing classes, as enrollment time is usually correlated to credits, but some things can put u on priority enrollment

Any advise for a new freshman basketball player ?? Also did u come from a regular public school ? Or a private ?
came from reg pub school. join IM leagues and go to open gyms! thats what i do and i love it so i keep my shot lol
Any chance you can make a video about the 7 colleges and even rank them? Can you live in another college than the one your in?
yeah i got u
and in regards to ur 2nd question, u can! it happens quite often due to overflow

How was UCSD cost wise?
