"I loved the amount of resources that I would have access to in the Theatre Department. The facilities are really phenomenal and the arts program is small and intimate. With such small classes, I realized I would actually have more of an opportunity to work closely with faculty and my classmates. I’ve been able to create a real sense of community here."

Angela Visual Arts and Media

"After visiting campus, I realized that UC San Diego would provide opportunity and resources that I couldn't get at any other school. Also, it’s a plus that as a biology major most of the required general education courses are classes that I truly enjoy–things like labs, calculus and chemistry."

Autumn General Biology

"There are always a lot of opportunities around UC San Diego, especially for engineering students interested in the tech industry. Right now, I’m working for a particle physics professor doing a computation. I’m learning about real-life technologies where I can apply the theoretical things I learn in class directly to my work."

Naveen Electrical Engineering

"I was looking for something that would allow me to work with underserved populations, so I did some research on what majors would allow me to do that and I found Public Health. I've had an opportunity to be a part of Health Frontiers in Tijuana (HFIT), which is a group of students who go down to Tijuana every Saturday to work at a free clinic. As a Public Health major, it's a great chance to work with the populations I want to serve and helped me gain confidence by getting hands-on experience in the field."

Jackie Public Health

"I chose UC San Diego because it was the school with the highest prestige in the sciences. I was also really interested in the opportunities available to work on research programs in my future. Going to school here has given me a foot in the door to an internship at Pharmtek, Inc. which is right down the street from campus."

Colin Biochemistry

"I love my major! I initially fell in love with the ocean as a child, and now recognizing there are things like climate change and pollution that we need to address, I wanted to help find new ways to protect the ocean, so Marine Biology was the perfect fit for me. Obviously, the Scripps Institution of Oceanography was a big reason I chose to come to UC San Diego."

Isabella Marine Biology

"The coolest thing about UC San Diego is that there is a lab or opportunity for every interest. I’m a Cognitive Science major, so the summer before I started, I emailed the Autism Center to see if they had any research opportunities available. "
