What's wrong with UCSD?

As an undergrad, I can say that the problem with UCSD is that it is simply a school you attend, and not a school that you belong to. There are few reasons to be proud to be at UCSD, and most of them lie along academic lines (top research school, plenty of Nobel laureates). A lack of sense of community is the oft cited problem, something that every yahoo running for student office promises to address and create "school spirit". But I don't think that any of that matters as a medical student. San Diego has one of the best night lifes in the nation, incredible weather, and a plethura of opportunities for the properly motivated; believe me, I would not mind spending another 4-5 years here as a medical student.

amen. 👍 but only to the first part. you have to be VERY motivated to seek your social opportunities out here. i'm not sure about the camaraderie that may or may not exist for the med student body, but i can speak for the undergraduates.

i can speak for the undergraduates too. not from personal experience, but from seeing them. the first weekend of ugrad classes, the library was packed with people actually studying. (or so i hear, i wasn't actually there...)

if you want to believe everything you hear about every med school out there, then you probably won't end up going to one.

not a single black female student in four-five years running.

FYI, there are 2 African-American women in our class this year and one that I know of in the class before us. Still pretty dismal, but not as bleak as you paint it.

My bad. The information I had must have been wrong.

what do you mean "hearing how some of the male med students soon to be are...im a bit worried"? we're males, and hence we act like any other male. what's so wrong about that? it's natural for us to be attracted to beautiful members of the opposite sex and to pursue them. your fiance's situation is a whole different problem of your own and has nothing to do with whether or not it's okay for a school to have lots of good-looking girls.
