The Student Voice

UCSD student DianaWhy did I choose UC San Diego?

  • "The weather was a huge plus, but ultimately I wanted the small college feel with the big university resources. I love the six-college system — it's really great to have that close community while still being in a large university atmosphere."
  • I'm Diana, from Bakersfield, California
  • Majors: Cognitive Science and Psychology
