Worst of University of California - San Diego

School Spirit?

Athletic atmosphere at UCSD is seriously lacking. Despite the presence of many athletic teams, students choose to focus mainly on academics. The only time any hint of school spirit is seen is during Spirt Week in the Winter quarter. Many attribute this to the lack of a football team or that the school is Division II (though seriously considering a move up to Division I next year). The athletic teams that are here do very well, especially basketball and baseball. The 3 facilities on campus are state of the art. One gym being one of the largest on campus, another offering a more intimate atmosphere with the same state of the art equipment. 3 pools, rock climbing, gymnastics facilities, and various racquet ball, volleyball, and basketball courts are a few of the things available throughout campus and on the 3 main facilities.

Not That Strict

Sometimes there are events that serve beer, but only to legal students of course.

No Parking Past 9:30Am

If you want a space on-campus, be sure to get there before 9am or at least 30-60 minutes before your class. You might have to give other students rides to their car to ensure you get their spot. Parking permits are expensive as well. Bottom line: If you live on campus and don't absolutely need your car, don't bring it!
