Enthusiastic Marine Biology major to give you tips on the UC's Quarter System
Hello, my name is Noe, a junior/third year Marine Biology major holping to get into undergraduate lab work/research in the field. San Diego has always felt like a second home to me so getting to study on this campus felt like I fit in. I like to spend my time study for classes down at the beach which is the best perk of UCSD's campus alongside exploring San Diego county with my friends and just overall getting to walk on this gorgeous campus.

It was hard to adjust as first especially to the quarter system but I eventually got the hang of it and what really helped was time management and just overall planning classes in a way that's manageable
