[@fredandhiroko]

Rachel, you are becoming our source for information on UCSD. This is not worth a whole video, but we don't understand something about the academic schedule. For example, Fall Quarter begins on September 24, 2018, but instruction begins on September 27. What happens for those three days? More importantly, next year spring break looks like it is only three days, but that can't be. Can you explain that for us? Thank you for the great videos and information.

[@RachelASeo]

Ahhh, I'm not 100% sure, but I just checked the calendar, and September 24th is the Monday of that week, so I assume that just means that that's the beginning of Week 0/1, even though instruction doesn't begin until the 27th. For freshmen, you'll probably move in that Sunday (the 23rd), but don't worry about it--you'll receive more information later on about that! In regards to spring break, if you look at the calendar, you'll see that spring quarter begins on March 27th, but instruction doesn't begin until Monday, April 1st. And honestly, don't worry about the "quarter begins" dates; they don't really mean a lot. Hope that helps!

[@RachelASeo]

Hi friends! I'm starting to get a lot more questions about Seventh College, so just wanted to hop on here to say that when I filmed this video, I had no idea that Seventh College was going to exist...so I made a whole separate video about what we know about Seventh College right now: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKiVZpSfZbWFfqs Hope it's helpful, and thanks for watching!

[@lesaviez-vous1459]

Hi, i'm a french student in aerospace engineering and my school offers the possibility to spend a semester at UCSD but it is UCSD extension. I really would like to go but i do not know the differences between the two, is it the same classes, reputation and level ? Or is UCSD extension very different from the "classic" UCSD ? If you or anybody inside the school would mind helping me, that would be very nice thanks. I have been trying to gather some information on the internet but i didn't find much !

[@RachelASeo]

@@lesaviez-vous1459 Hello, sorry this comment is so late! UCSD extension, to my understanding, is not the same as UCSD - for the regular UCSD student, extension classes are ones that you can take to acquire new skills, but they don't necessarily count towards your degree. I don't know that much about your program or what it would be like, but that's the most info I can offer as of right now.

[@RachelASeo]

It's extremely rare to transfer colleges, mostly because it's super hard to do so! There are a lot of requirements, but according to the stuff I just read (lol) you have to prove that you can graduate at least two quarters earlier, and they only accept requests during winter and spring quarter. Transfers have different general education requirements than freshmen, though, so I'd weigh that balance before deciding to go through the process. Hope this helps!

I’m on the pre-dentistry mindset right now, so I’ll most likely choose to major in Biology.

Your college doesn't matter in terms of major :) Also, a lot of people at UCSD come in with a ton of AP credits, so you'll probably meet a lot of people in the same boat!

[@benjiaaazhang9249]

@@emin9656 Hey! First, Congratulations!! Second, ummm I think Revelle is a decent college and I don't have anything against it except for the HUM classes OMGGGG hahaha. I just got through HUM 1 and it was bad, unenjoyable, but doable. I think it was just very painful for me personally because I'm really not a fan of writing. There's a lot of reading. But I think if you keep up with the reading, pay attention to lectures, you'll be partly fine for the tests that contain short answers. But for the essays, you can't really bs through them. I think they grade pretty hard and depending on the TA you get (you can't choose), you might or might not learn about how to write. So I guess you'll be fine if you know what you're doing when you write essays. But in conclusion, everything is fine about Revelle (food and dorms are all decent I don't mind), but just keep the HUM classes in mind hahaha. Lmk if you have more questions.
