I've only been here one year, and IQuite BrightUndecided
I've only been here one year, and I couldn't be more satisfied. The classes are a good progression from High School AP classes, the professors usually make themselves available, and you will realize on your first visit that there are really a keen crop of spectacular minds here that you can interact with.

Plus, the campus life is lively, and there is a lot to do in the city. Thank god I chose this school over UCLA, USC, and UCSD.

Question
I came from socal, there is mad beefUndecided
I came from socal, there is mad beef between norcal and socal. No good mexican food. No good boba, either, suprisingly. Campus food sucks. The weather sucks, but it does get beautiful at times when the sun is out. The scholastics are engaging and challenging - just as i thought they would be. You are surreounded by smart people - soak it in. Living here is expensive for ghetto accomodations, but its alright. You learn to live with the crappiness and appreciate the times when the sun is out... i was seriously surprised at how bad the food is here....
