I submitted my SIR to UCLA. Even though it won't be in a major I have much interest in, I know I'll have room to take other classes and perhaps weasel my way into hanging out in the film school. Plus, on the off-chance that I'm lucky, I'll have access to some valuable internships as its in...
OH! and before I forget (although this should not influence your opinions because the experience is TRULY WHATEVER YOU MAKE OF IT), but:
I have a ton of friends that go to UCSB and I just talked to one who is a Film Major there. Anyway, he's a complete as*, and he thinks its awesome that...
What it comes down to, especially with the majority of the UC's, is that your college experience will be whatever you make of it. I'm sure we will be happy and "thrive" at any school we choose. Although our instincts have us torn as to which we actually like better, find peace in the fact that...
How'd you hear about that Oquendo?
They might be taught by the same professors, but usually Extension Programs are a private/separate entity from the state school. I actually thought one of the perks of possibly going to UCLA and majoring in something that I'll hate is possibility to take the...
Yeah...the parking situation at UCSD seems pretty horrible, especially considering you could save 600 dollars by not parking there and use that money to live in a sweet room on campus.
what is pretty nice/awesome about San Diego is that the train station is directly in downtown, and the...
yeah...its actually nice to have a cool little downtown area that is completely walkable. how much is the metro pass/how long did you hear it took to get from UCSD to downtown?
i have a feeling that most kids don't do it that often...but that doesn't mean we can't. lol
holy crap- hillcrest has the number 1 pizza place in the world. Bronx Pizza. It is almost enough to make me want to go to UCSD. Its even better NY pizza than actual ny pizza.
my mouth is watering as I write this. you should go to UCSD. in fact...we all should go. and we should go to...
haha...i know! i keep telling myself that, but i honestly don't want my choice to be influenced by a school's reputation. the only problem is, is that i pretty much enjoy every campus that i go to. i have that "i just felt right" feeling that all the tour-guides preach at all of the schools...
actually...scratch that 34% for UCLA. it might be behind others. Right now, I'm more concerned with the people at the school being interesting and authentic. i'm afraid the majority of UCLA might be somewhat superficial/judgmental/close-minded although their campus seems to be the most spread...
i'd like to give you a good answer, but I'm pretty sure my answer right now is:
33% UCSD
33% UCB
34% UCLA
(I took UCI out of the equation as well)
what is BEYOND weird - makes me feel like there is truly some spirit/ora that emanates the world at any one time - is that I put 'Chinatown' on my...
So...I visited Berkeley. The environment up there seemed really cool, but my meeting with the Film Department chair really turned me off of the Film Program. It truly seems like a Literature major, just writing long essays on films instead of books. They don't really even have anything else...
PS...I have now gone to tour every campus (including UCSB as I have a bizillion friends that go there). While I realize it is subjective, I think UCSD has the most impressive campus in terms of facilities and varied atmospheres. What isn't subjective is the transfer housing, and UCSD blows...
Cptn!! Thank you so much for the info on Berkeley. I did get in but I really know nothing about it and am anxious to learn anything. I e-mailed a few professors asking current students to write me about it but haven't found out too much about it yet.
I'm from southern california and after...
Its ten production courses, but the department also had a fair amount of courses in areas that don't really help out Film that much (ie...all the lower division requirements and intermediate level requirements. I mean, I suppose photography, computing, and art making are interesting but its a...
how much longer are your semesters lasting? I think mine ends on May 17th.
also..when is your SB admit day meeting? i'm interested in hearing about their program even though I didn't apply, plus finding out on your guys' ultimate decisions.
I definitely submitted the UCSD housing! At first I was bummed about the lack of singles, but then I thought about it more and I think I would end up applying for a double anyway.
My freshman year at a college actually taught me that it is generally better to live in doubles rather than...
