If I study abroad, would I need to pay UCSD tuition for the same amount of time I'm gone? Also, how were your experiences in other countries? I'm seriously looking into it!

For myself, I watch basketball purely as a form of entertainment. Some call this bandwagoning, usually to the most current explosive teams (Warriors of late, Heat in years past), but I don't want to stick around to watch average players play, I want to see the best!

Why are we so frowned upon? Isn't entertainment supposed to bring you happiness?

I guess what I'm asking is if people find happiness in following a team that is below average or not at the upper echelon of teams.

Dear students,

The following are the grades cutoff:

A+: 100-97

A: 97-95

A-:95-93

B+: 93-90

B: 90-86

B-: 86-82

C+: 82-75

C: 75-70

C-: 70-60

D: 60-50

F: below 50.

Seems pretty crazy, especially since the entire class was composed of 2 midterms and a final worth 50% of your grade. I mean I'm not complaining as I didn't lose a single point, but how common is it for a professor to adjust the grades NOT in favor of the students?

Edit: I may have meant curved up in the title

So I started an internship and I've had to learn some new tech that I'm not familiar with. I can do a few google searches and hash out a working prototype, but it bugs me that I'm not fully learning this technology from its origins. Is there time in the real-world to fully learn new techs you're required to use, or is it always going to feel like some lazy hack-job?

During the orientation week, a certain movie was shown twice at a certain University. Among the entering class of 2000 freshmen, 850 went to see it the first time, 690 the second time, while 730 failed to see it either time. If I pick a freshman at random, what is the probability that that freshman has seen the movie twice?

At first I thought it was just the inclusion-exclusion principle, but it's clearly not. So I know that at most, 690 people can have seen the movie twice, but I don't know how to narrow it down further.

I want to take a security camera and be able to basically stream the footage online in live-time. I know there are softwares out there that do this, but I want to write it myself. Is this feasible for someone who has only done first year programming in college? Intro/DS/Algorithms/DiscreteMath stuff have been covered.

As a first year student, I've taken intro to programming(java, c), data structures, algorithms, discrete mathematics, assembly and have done really well in those classes.

When I think of starting something for myself, independent of programming assignments, I feel lost. Most of the time we dealt with command-line programs and very basic visual programs. How do I use what I know to make something "bigger"? There seems to be so much missing from what I'm being taught and what can be applied to making my own program.

I have to take 2 science courses from this list:
PHYS 2A, 2B CHEM 6A, 6B BILD 1, BILD 2, 3 BICD 100 PHYS 4A, 4C

for my major, and I don't know which one to take. I have absolute zero interest in these topics and am just looking for an easy time. Which pair would be most kind to my GPA?

At school, I'm rocking my programming classes. Following a set of instructions to code something? Easy. Learning to write a proof however? Oh boyyy

How can I get better at writing proofs in classes like discrete mathematics and algorithm analysis?

Logically, I understand what's going on, but for me to prove it on paper in a step-by-step way using things like induction, proof by contradictions and whatnot, it doesn't seem intuitive anymore. How can I practice to become good at these things?

Has anybody received one or know approximately when and what time they'll come out? If you did could you list your gpa as well.

Is it true that the labs are all pass/no pass so everyone in the class basically end up with 75/100 possible points before going into the final? How was the final?

If planning to take without 140, would I survive?

As a senior, I applied to UCSD without thinking too much about my major and wow, what a costly mistake. I just chose some random engineering that sounded decent. And now I'm trying to switch into CSE, amongst many others.

Now with the amount of people trying to transfer in, whether it be from the mass amount of undecided majors, Math-CS majors, or others, the GPA cutoff is bound to be really high. It's a fact that not everyone's going to get in. I can't help but think of how much better of a situation I'd be in right now if I had ticked the box that said "Computer Science B.S." a year ago on my application. I'm fairly certain I would've gotten in due to the selectiveness of my current engin

Got the Colorado I ordered way way back. Guess everyone else will be getting theirs soon enough! Is the stripe on the back supposed to be crooked? It's tilted and really noticeable after you've seen it once.

Edit: As someone in the comments below mentioned, I'm more interested in people trying to switch into the impacted major already at UCSD. However, other transfers' input are welcome too.
