Describe your college experience

My transition to college was mixed, I was used to the semester system and going to the quarter system was a little difficult for me since it's so much faster but overtime i've learnt to adjust to it and can manage it better. UCSD is a great school and there's alot to explore.

Tip for future students

There's alot of resources on campus so make sure to use them as much as possible and the quarter system goes by quickly so make sure you plan ahead. And try to get involved as much as possible with orgs, leadership positions, on campus jobs​/​internships and building a network with your students and professors and TA's.
