• UCSD has a massive library which students mostly spend their final exam week in.

• Its got 7 floors - the basement and first floor are for "loud studying" and as you go higher a floor you have to be quieter.

• I was part of the cricket club at UCSD and I really enjoyed my time there.

• We had annual regionals in LA, regularly drove to play against UC Irvine, and even started to host home games.

• The bollywood dancing clubs were also very big.
   

• I stayed on campus for all 4 years. In the first year we did not have access to on campus apartments and had to live in a shared room.

• My room had 2 other people and this was difficult for me. I did not get along with them and had to change rooms after the first quarter.

• In my second - fourth year I stayed on campus. Campus is very big and I stayed in different parts, all of which were close and far from different classes and dining halls. I recommend getting a bicycle to commute.
   

• The University of California has 10 campuses across the state, with UC San Francisco Being a campus only for graduate studies. I am at UC San Diego. UCSD has many Facilities for sports, academics, and other student services.
• UCSD competes at the NCAA Division I level in many sports including basketball, baseball, fencing and swimming, and competes at the Division II level in a few other sports. As a result, the sports facilities on campus are excellent with courts for any sport one may wish to do.
• There is even a climbing gym on campus (which I discovered just this quarter). Outside of sports, UCSD has many mental health and well-being resources and offers free counselling / therapy services to students.
• Each housing college holds many events forstudents in each quarter, while a few big events (like the Sun God Festival) are hostedby the university itself.
• There are over 500 listed student orgs at UCSD so there are a lot of opportunities to pursue activities outside of academics.
• Some of the orgs that I have been involved with are SUMS (math society), DS3 (Data Science org), Hiking club, and the Okinawan Karate club. Along with clubs we also have greek life (sororities and fraternities), though I do not have much information about these.

• I opted for on-campus accommodations. University of California San Diego provides guaranteed on-campus housing for undergraduate students for the first two years only. I chose on-campus housing because it is more convenient to go to classes, and I liked my dorms and suitemates.
• The rent is paid per quarter and are part of the quarterly fees billed to me

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
