whats life at uc santa cruz like?

It's alright if you find the right people to hang out with.

But I'm trying my best to transfer to LA after my sophomore year.

Also.

No steeze here, at all. None. Zilch.

[christianjustin]

i personally think UC's suck balls in general---reason why i'm transferring the fuck outta there.

[suremanok]

san diego mesa college.

I use to go there before I transferred.

where are you looking at transferring?

[christianjustin]

ideally USC, but they don't release transfer decisions until June, so my backup is Pepperdine.

lol imagine if i actually decided to go usc over uci...

[christianjustin]

^^^ i don't get what you posted?

[branespload]

lol no im just saying cuz i was accepted to usc's viterbi school of engineering and i turned it down for uci because im peasant status.. imagine if i went there, and then you transferred, and the whole stolen fiasco happened anyway haha

[christianjustin]

but it would have been postponed a year at least.

[MortimerHobbs]

Does anyone here go to Suny purchase or San Fran State? They're the two places I need to transfer to. I haven't been able to pick where I want to live though. On the east coast outside of nyc, or on the west coast in what I believe to be a pretty great city.

[jeepster]

wtf

those are two completely different locales/coasts/schools (type of schooling)

Purchase IS a good school but there's a HUGE drug scene and the buildings are super ugly. I know a lot of junkie-students there.

[MortimerHobbs]

Which is why I can't decide. I know purchase is more focused on arts(?) and sfs I've heard is good, but moving to the west coast is a bit of a big move.

Every where has a huge drug scene. That's half of the reason people go to college.

[jeepster]

not really

I just know for a fact that Purchase has one of the biggest, if not, worst drug scenes on the East Coast.

[znoyer7744]

Im on my second year at UCI. Not terrible. And I saw a VDC shuttle driver today rocking some seriously broken in skulls. Rare occurrence.

[LoganL]

Better than guidos or kids rockin sweatpants and sweatshirts at rutgers.

haha definitely true. I get laugh sometimes out of it though when im bored at work, seeing people wearing the ridiculous stuff pass by me

[maxlin]

any current/future UCR Highlanders?

so far it's just me and please underestimate

Well, in the past two weekends, I've done overnights at Carleton and Macalester. Rural MN vs Minneapolis/St Paul, respectively. I'm really torn. Any students of either on here?

[amardeep]

Not a student there, but I was deciding between the two when I visited last November. It helps to know that Carleton students are a lot "happier" than Mac students as Mac seems to be more stressful of a school, and that theres a bigger drug culture in Mac than in Carleton.

Also, i hear carleton doesn't let you own a car for your 4 years there, and it's really isolated, so if you were thinking about driving around MN, consider that.

I have a friend who goes to Macalester and she loves it.

I'm not sure if this helps...haha

That's interesting. As far as I know, Carleton tends to be ranked higher than Mac, so I would've assumed stress levels were higher there. That's a hard thing to measure, though. The drug culture doesn't really bother me. I know my limits, and I quite like the whole "international environment" that is so often praised. I had a great time visiting Macalester this past weekend, as was just wondering what other people thought of it, before I pick it over Carleton.

As an international who knows a lot of Mac kids and goes to a school with a similarly "international environment", be aware that international kids self-segregate A LOT.

That being said, my friends at Mac all love it there.

BTW, I chose to not buy into the scene, it has its advantages and disadvantages.

[patrill]

UCR here. Usually Good Society or Loomstate.

any current/future UCR Highlanders?

so far it's just me and please underestimate

and I bet you'd find even more if you searched.

Yeah, rutgers has some good programs but most people there are stereotypically jersey. One thing they got going for them is the grease trucks, best food ever.

P.S. is warren still boring as hell?

welcome to Riverside!

how's the life at UCR?

[patrill]

how's the life at UCR?

It's alright. You can make it a good experience if you want to. Riverside isn't LA or SF, but you can have a good time if you put forth the effort. The downtown area can be cool, we have a bicycle gang and an annual underground art festival and all sorts of things like that.

And academically, I don't know a whole lot about anything outside of the psychology and sociology departments.

I really enjoy UCR, but if you don't get involved and find things to do, it can be boring as hell.

[surfed57]

Going to Bard in the fall.

this applies EVERYWHERE.
