University of California, San Diego. A top-tier public institution in La Jolla, California. Academic strengths include the sciences, engineering, economics, and political science. Second in the UC system only to UC Berkeley. Wastes no money on bloated sports system unlike UCLA.
I wish i had gone to UCSD because UCLA sucks at everything but football.

Good school in beautiful La Jolla. Doing well at UCSD is easy because La Jolla is NOT a party town. People who think they are smart, Asians, and prematurely balding men are found in abundance at UCSD. There is a serious shortage of naturally beautiful girls, and even less guys with game. Students looking to have fun turn to liquor,ganja, or other drugs, which are generally easy to come by. Looking to get laid- Mexico is only a short drive away. Whatever UCSD lacks in the social scene they attempt to make up in free concert points; where three times a year popular music artists preform at Rimac. Downside to this is that most UCSD students don't know what the hell to do at a concert.
Like most things, UCSD is what you make of it. If you put in a little more effort and have access to a car, you can have fun and get a great education at the same time.
"Dude you live in San Diego why are you so pale?"
" I go to UCSD."
" At UCSD I partied my ass off and still graduated in four years."
"I thought everyone at UCSD were pansy-ass nerds from suburbia, but I met some chill people smoking out on the cliffs."
"I saw my professor naked on the far side of Blacks Beach."

UCSD is the only school besides Berkeley, UCLA, and UCI where the hard-working middle-class asian is the majority. As a result, UCSD has a large mass of workahalics who lack adequate americanized social skills despite knowing how to ace a test. But, the university still boasts the best weather and location in the country, and has 20,000 undergrads to select one's group of friends from. In response, it may not be party central, but if you go to UCSD and don't have fun or find someone attractive... it is likely becuase you are one of the individuals giving the university a bad name by being antisocial and looking like a nerd.. UCSD is what you make it. Overall, it's

UCSD from the transfer student point of view. If you go here as a transfer student (if you are a Californian) you did not get in to UCLA or UCB. You are very bitter over this fact and walk around mad at the world. Every time you drive down Sunset Blvd. past UCLA you get a tear in your eye.
You wish there was affirmative action for Caucasian girls. You are in shock when you go to SDSU and see all those cute girls.
You have a sandwich at Subway, and realize all the girls are nerdy Asian types.
You hate walking uphill by the library.
One more crappy weekend hanging out at crappy Gaslamp clubs.
You pray you get into UCB or UCLA for grad school.
Other people always know UCSD was you third choice.
