University of California-San Diego Top Questions

Is the stereotype of students at University of California-San Diego accurate?

Cortney

To some extent they can be accurate. The quarter system is very quick and falling behind academically is very easy to do. For a good 3-5 weeks of the quarter, everyone's swamped with papers, lab reports and midterms then you spend the rest of the quarter just trying to keep up with all of your assignments and readings. However, it's all about who you know. Most people have a decent social life and Greek life is always an option too. One of the best things about UCSD is that students seem to have a pretty good balance of hard work and academics as well as a social life. As far as athletics go, we don't have a huge fan base and UCSD is primarily known for it's academics even though we have some GREAT athletic teams. I think school spirit is definitely improving, but a lot of people still talk about UCSD as having no pride. I think that will change as alumni and professors begin to change their perspective of UCSD.
