I'm currently a junior at a UC campus and I saw some interesting classes offered at another UC. (University of California)
Would it look bad to take a bunch of classes at the other UC while completing my reqs at my current UC?
I would be taking some fun classes like cooking with science at our sister university and I would be taking classes for my major at my current UC.
I think they would be fun, easy classes to do and they are much cheaper than what I would be paying to take them at my home institution.

It is a common pre-med delusion that applicants are required to have all of their credits taken at a single university, and in 4 years on top of that.

Whatever floats your boat. Just make sure you don't make your degree audit a complete disaster. The fun will be transcript entry when you finally apply because you will need all of those transcripts.

I think this would be fine. The red flags appear when you specifically take prerequisite courses at "easier" institutions such as community colleges while being enrolled at a 4-year program.
