Describe your college experience
First day could be scary however putting yourself out there and meeting new people solves it! Attend as many welcome week events as possiable, make friends with people in your classes and hangout. Explore the city! There is a lot to do and the trolly makes it easier to get to point A to point B. Join clubs that interest you such as major, pre proffesional clubs, hobbies Events: RA events, College events, UCSD events, club events, Beach, Hiking, UTC
Tip for future students
I encourage everyone to meet a lot of people, do not reserve yourself! Make the most of out your pontential! Manage your time it will reduce your stress

Ideal way to spend a free night
I would host a movie night + sleepover with my friends Arts and craft activities, pictures, makeovers Butcket filled with snacks (binge watch series/movies)
High school or secondary school

Favorite spot on campus
My favorite part is the nice grassy study area outside the SIO department. I enjoy the smell of the beach there is enough shade underneath the trees, reliable wifi/internet, nice breeze, easy to get it and get back to campus (shoutout to SIO shuttle) and destressing during midterms/finals season
Meeting point
Triton Fountain on the University of California San Diego campus
