I grew up in San Diego, so I've been to the campus a lot. I want to get my PhD and become a computational astrophysicist ... and the campus has been phenomenal in preparing me for that.

Brandon he/him Fourth year Hometown: Orange County, CA Major: Mathematics-Computer Science WHY DID YOU CHOOSE UC SAN DIEGO?
When I came to campus for a tour, my guide mentioned there was something on campus that was like "Shark Tank" and I thought "That sounds awesome." I found out they were talking about The Basement, which is a place I could possibly explore creating a business of my own. I also wanted to make connections and, with places like the Data Center or the Entrepreneurship Center, you can find fantastic people. admissions.ucsd.edu

UNIQUE COLLEGE SYSTEM Our unique college system is one of many things that makes UC San Diego such a special place. UC San Diego is a large campus with an international reputation, but the college system allows undergraduates to experience more personalized advising, student support and leadership opportunities within their smaller college community. Each college has their own general education requirements, but college assignment is not based on major. Students are assigned a college at the time of admission and may study any major regardless of college affiliation. Get to know our colleges before ranking your top four on your UC application. View the First-Year and Transfer General Education Requirements PDFs on the Undergraduate Admissions website.

admissions.ucsd.edu
A Community of Neighborhoods Think of UC San Diego as a living and learning community made up of different neighborhoods. Each undergraduate college is a neighborhood. They each have their own philosophy and general education requirements. Additionally, each undergraduate college has its own staff, traditions, and residence facilities–first-year students typically live in their college neighborhood, while new transfers have the option to live on campus in a transfer-centered living learning community. Every college provides access to personalized academic advising, support services, and opportunities to get involved.

UC San Diego has earned a world-class reputation for having faculty of the highest caliber. They guide students along educational and career pathways; they reshape our concepts of the world around us; and they advance creative solutions to address social disparity. Gentry Patrick he/him Professor of Neurobiology Director of Mentorship and Diversity Division of Biological Sciences Gentry Patrick grew up in South Central Los Angeles. MY INSPIRATION
“For me, growing up in that neighborhood was not only interesting and special, but posed a lot of different challenges. One of those challenges was access to a quality education and what inspired me to be a scientist were mentors that I had along the way.” MY ADVICE TO UNDERGRADUATES
“Don’t be afraid to seek out mentorship. You should have a faculty mentor and perhaps a graduate student or upperclassman mentor. A great mentor can be the difference between a mediocre undergraduate experience and a great one that sets you on a path for success at all stages of your career.”
Maira she/they Fourth year Hometown: Brooklyn, NY Major: Geosciences
WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR MAJOR?
I love and owe so much to geosciences. As one of the smallest majors at UC San Diego, it has been an absolute joy getting to know so many passionate and inspiring peers and professors. The field is endlessly fascinating with a tight-knit community. I cannot imagine myself studying anything else, and am truly grateful for Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I have been a part of three research projects so far and all of those opportunities were possible through word of mouth within the geosciences major. admissions.ucsd.edu
