Campus Life:

Pretty fun, all major clubs and fraternities are available. Wifi is good, the gym is great, casual sports are very accessible, and lots of events are hosted by clubs including cultural ones. Library is very famous - Geisel, named after Dr. Seuss.

Hostel:

It’s quite expensive, around 17k USD for a year for a double room. Single room is around 18.5K and a triple is around 15.5/16k USD. No other choices exist, all are pretty spacious and well laid out. Much better than most schools like UCLA in terms of spacing and layout.

Campus Life:

A lot of accessible and well-maintained sports facilities. I used to regularly play tennis, badminton and swimming. The ocean is very close by, so surfing and kayaking are also popular.

Hostel:

I, along with almost all of my friends, lived in on-campus housing. I rented a studio alone for $900/month. A room in a 2br/2ba cost similar on campus. Some of my friends shared a room, so their rent ended up being around $450/month.

Campus Life:

Extensive research labs , well equipped libraries and sports facilities as well.

Hostel:

The rents and general cost for accommodation is usually high but available everywhere.

Campus Life:

Ample clubs, campus infrastructure is state-of-the-art, spread over 2000 acres, multiple sports gyms, stadiums, 8 floor library one of the best in the US, campus-wide 100 mbps WiFi, and we have our own amphitheatre and arts and music complex where events and shows keep taking place.

Hostel:

Sharing rooms are available in some communities on campus. For them rent will be 600-700, while for single room it will be 980-1400 depending on total rooms in your apartment.

Campus Life:

There are more than 100 clubs and organizations to choose from at UCSD. The library is one of the best in the world (looks like a ufo) . Sports facilities are also excellent with facilities for more than 100 sports.

Hostel:

The accommodation is graduate housing. It is well built with all the essential facilities. However the rent is too high ($978 per month) . Overall though it is convenient as everything is nearby and you live with graduates and form lot of friends

I liked the environment - both physically and academically. Research opportunities here are abundant. Faculty and staff are phenomenal and friendly, yet professional; more so, the has a good reputation in terms of STEM majors which made me choose UCSD.

Hostel:

I live off campus, University of California, San Diego provides a free pass for the bus which accommodates commuters. They also host events specifically for commuters that provide them food and entertainment.

It is a reputable STEM school that also specializes in healthcare. It also provides lots of opportunities for my academic career. It is also close to home so it would be easier for me to go home and back.
