I was going to apply there but I don't have the grades or test scores to get in it's very hard to get in and it's a great school located next to the beach in sunny southern Cal so if you decide to go there you'll have a great time

Good school. Very, very nice campus. It's located on the cliffs over looking La Jolla--one of the nicest and wealthiest communities in all of San Diego. It is NOT on the beach. Great bio-med, one of the best oceanography universities in the country and very strong engineering programs. These are represented by the corner stone UCSD med cntr, Salk Inst, Scripps Inst of Oceanography and Jacobs sch of engineering. People: students are competitive. UCSD tends not to be a big party school. Community: very upscale towards the west (beach) and young and yuppie toward the east (UTC--univ town cntr).

I got into there a week or so ago, and i dont think i want to go there because it sounds really boring. i would rather go to davis or ucsb, even though its not as highly ranked. my cousin goes there and says theres not much of a social life, which i have heard from a lot of ppl. i visited the campus, and its not that nice. but i dunno, maybe if its strong in your major...?

Would San Diego State University be better for me?
So i'm not going to do any expensive schools but i want to be in southern california for school. I'm interested in dentistry and though San Diego state doesn't have a "pre-denta" program, there is still biology and i'm going to transfer to med school after anyways so would sdsu be a exceptional school?

UCSD is a competitive school. But it seems like you are in the house with your grades and your activities.
2
It's becoming increasingly hard to get into UCSD. After Berkeley and UCLA, SD got more applications than any other UC. Your grades are pretty good, especially considering your difficult course load. But your extra-curriculars could use some work. Try to take on some leadership roles in the clubs you belong to. . . or at the very least, be an active member rather than someone who just shows up for meetings so you can put it on your transcript. And why wait till next year to start that club? Volunteering would also look good, but don't do these things just for your college application. . . do them because you want to be an active member of the world and explore all that is out there to explore. Your SAT scores will also play a large role in your admissions decision. Good luck!

What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
What colleges in San Diego have very good theatre programs?
I currently attend the Art Institute Of California San Diego for Animation (am about halfway through) and have unfortunately realized only now that this school is beyond deplorable. I have also realized that what I love even more than art and animation is acting, specfically, voice acting. Now, I have a strong background in animation and fine art at this point, but it could also use some honing. Basically, my question is this: what schools in the San Diego area offer very good theatre programs/majors as well as a good Fine Arts program (for me to possibly minor in)?

First of all theatre programs do not teach acting well. You really should be choosing a professional school like LA Film School for animation and acting. Art and academics is a poor mix.

What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
What are the best areas in San Diego as far as schools and family friendliness?
We're moving to San Diego from Nashville next summer and I want to get a head start on finding a good area with great schools and a family friendly environment. We're middle class in TN, so i'm not sure what that equates to in California (poor? LOL), but our main goal is to have a great school system....

This is probably a more subjective question, as different people have different ideas about what is good and family-friendly. Generally speaking, the best schools and safe and 'family-friendly' neighborhoods will be found in the north end of the city -- Rancho Peñasquitos, Scripps Ranch, Tierrsanta, Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights. Not coincidentally, these are also some of the most expensive neighborhoods, in terms of real estate values -- but you get what you pay for.
2
I like La Mesa, it's got great schools and the housing market isn't extremely expensive like some neighborhoods. Good luck!
3
You should look at Poway, which is going to be the most affordable area among the best school districts. It's more conservative than Del Mar/Carmel Valley or Solana Beach, which are the other top school districts. Carlsbad comes next.
4
I relocated from Michigan and asked the same question on Yahoo Answer. I live in Rancho Penasquitos so I have a bias. I had the same desire for good schools. I have a much much smaller house but I didn't want to spend my life's saving on a great house with sub-par schools. Check out GreatSchools.net See how your school ranks now (or the schools in the area you live in) and compare it to other schools. Lesson 1- San Diego is very big place. When people talk about Scripps or Rancho Penasquitos they are talking about areas of the city itself that kinda have their own identity. Lesson 2- There are a lot of rich people out here. So when someone tells you "these are the best schools" check the housing prices in the area. I would sign up with Zip Reality or another site. Check out each area then type in the zip to see if you can afford to live there. A person with 2 Million to spend has a different idea of a good school then a person with 500,000. People have been steering you to some great middle class areas that are know for great schools. My husband works in La Jolla when I first looked at La Jolla prices I cried. Literally cried. Then my Mom said "you don't live in La Jolla honey" oh. Lesson 3 -With gas at $4.65 find out if you can where people in your household are going to work and of course see if you can live nearby. I personally checked out the Poway Unified School district. I looked in surrounded areas. To us it came down to price, schools, and what our idea of a house is. Is a condo a house? Do we need grass? Also our home in one income but we had my husband ask around at work where people lived. Sometimes it was areas where we would have to be a two income family. Sometimes people who relocated told him where they were and what they didn't like about it. a huge help. Like I knew I was alright with living farther from the ocean and my husband having a shorter commute. Lesson 4- People in CA rent. I found that really strange. In Michigan those people who rent are the ones who can't afford houses. (for the most part) Here I think people rent for lots of reasons including the housing market. So you may want to check that out. I think a rental agent cost a couple hundred dollars. But you can do it on your own too. Rental homes in awesome areas not at all what I pictured. We bought and our house price dropped a lot. But I couldn't find a rental to save my life when we looked. They say now is a great time to buy but I heard that too. How long do you plan on being here? Lesson 5- You are going to love it here. I miss my family but it really is a very open friendly city. It was a bit of a culture shock. CA is a little different. But it is a very cool laid back family friendly place. Good Luck

People who don't know the history will probably answer this question by saying that they are getting UCSD mixed up with SDSU. However, UCSD at one time was considered a party school but that was decades ago. UCSD is now known for its engineering and medical schools among others and its propensity to attract top students from California as well as all over the place.

UCSD's parties consists of asian girls who act white and if youre lucky you will run into the white girls all wearing forever 21 clothes. yeah they might have little parties consist of people at a townhouse.. nothing too wild.. and i swear you will hear at least 2 conversations about school or their professor.. but just like everyone else on here..

You would probably have more luck in Hollywood or somewhere in LA because it would be easier to be "discovered." But it is possible, look at my american heart like you mentioned among several other bands.

it would be easier to break into the music scene in San Diego vs LA. There are so many students, so lots of student bars often with open mike nights and live bands playing. Also cool small venues like The Casbah, Belly Up in Solana Beach, etc where you can work your way up to playing.

University of California at San Diego Question!?
University of California at San Diego Question!?
I want so badly to get into UCSD[University of California in San Diego], specifically Scripps Institution of Oceanography. I want to be a marine biologist. I'm a freshman now, and I know that freshman grades don't really count at UCSD, only sophomore and junior grades. I go to a private school in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and get good grades. I had only 2 B's last semester, but they were in Pre AP classes. I plan on taking all the AP classes I can the rest of my high school year. Here's my question: What classes would you recommend I take in order to get into UCSD and what grades? Also, do you think I still have a pretty good chance even though I don't live in California? I'm planning on taking two science classes a year

Different Universities have different requirement. the one that you like is science, i suggest, get a science course and study hard. Get As. Don't get B. It's disqualifying. Hope this will help you. PS: if you are non californian resident, expensive. I tried at UC Berkley, $70,000 for foreigners and non californian resident

Just because I wont be going with an exchange program I'd be staying with family. Any details are appreciated, I'm curious! Thanks!

I went to Poway High School in california, in san diego county. The semester starts and ends the same time as any other school in the country, the exact day might be a little different but they all start sometime in september and end some time in late may/early july. From what I've seen there usually aren't cafeterias per se in high schools. they usually have lunch carts that you can buy overpriced crappy food from (at least that's how it was at my school and all the others in my district). The school's really aren't that great in California. I'd seriously consider going there to study if you really want to learn anything. If you're just going for the experience, well, you will definitely get to experience the superficial, shallow american lifestyle in California. But be prepared to not learn anything, I know I didn't learn a goddamned thing in high school, and I passed with a 3.2 average. Basically, those schools are designed so even the retarded kids can pass the same classes as everyone else (i.e. they dumb down all the class so the stupid kids can pass).
Hi, I live in Sydney Australia and am in year ten and considering six months exchange next year in San Diego, California. Can anyone (preferably teens and students or their parents) tell me what the local high school/s are like, eg. when terms begin and end, whats the deal with cafeterias, etc? Just because I wont be going with an exchange program I'd be staying with family. Any details are appreciated, I'm curious! Thanks!

No, it does not require two years of language or any art. they don't require anything unless if you want to major in game art they require a portfolio i know that as a fact, i was very stuck on going to AI San Diego, and didn't listen to people who told me other wise until the very last minute, but i suggest you think a little about going to a two year and transferring.. California does has a great transfer system (automatic guarantee if you keep decent/good grades) and you make an art portfolio as you take art classes. (and it would look better on a resume than a propriety *for profit* school. do the best you can do for you, you still have time; your only in high school, and if money is not a problem aim bigger for a private school that is respected ( Otis college of design? ) i bet it may even cost less! if you have not already, collegeboard.com is a great website, they have a search engine that looks up schools for you, it's really fun and incredibly helpful. sorry if i burst your bubble, but i was going to be $130,000 in debt if i went! (that is cheap living included ) cheers to you if you don't have to take out loans, but alas, it will be your decision and good luck with what ever you do. i know the charm that school has A lot can happen form here and now! ( a recession happened to me!)

San Diego Teachers? Or anyone teaching in Southern California?
San Diego Teachers? Or anyone teaching in Southern California?
I'm curious to get some information about teaching in the San Diego area, or southern California in general. Are jobs hard to come by? What about as art or English teachers at a high school level, or teaching at an elementary level? How long were you in school for to obtain certification for teaching? In general, what you are thoughts and opinions on teaching?

Don't know anything about that school, but I would think that if you want to work in anything in any kind of medical field you would definitely want to attend an accredited program.

WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? U of Colorado - Boulder or U of California - San Diego?
WHAT'S YOUR OPINION? U of Colorado - Boulder or U of California - San Diego?
Which school do you think has a better reputation on a national level? Or are they equal? Which is the better school?

Academically, UC San Diego has a somewhat stronger reputation, especially in the physical sciences. The University of Colorado is probably a little better socially, and it is a pretty good school, so it all depends on what you are looking for.
2
My brother went to CU-Boulder and loved it. He did it ALL there. Undergrad, Masters, and he received his Ph.d on March 13, 2006 in mechanical engineering.
3
Mostly equal, SDU is a nicer area/climate.
4
they are both good schoool, no doubt. though i am a huge CSU - Fort Collins fan and hate the CU buff's Colorado is a really good school. It has a good rep. for vets. So if you want to be a vet that is a good school to go to & alameda east (that ER vet place on animal planet a lot, is in colorado.. Plus Colroado is a GREAT state! not that california isn't, but i lived in CO most of my life, and i loved it. I dont know much about U of California but I here it's a great school. It's more of your opinion and what you want to do for a living and where you would rather live, Snowy Colorado or Sunny California.
5
although i am not familiar with university of colorado, i know that ucsd is an amazing school. it is a beautiful campus in a great location with alot of esteemed professors. it was my first choice for school but i did not get in and went to uc irvine instead. the main thing would be to think about what you are going to major in and choose the school that has the better reputation for that academic field. also, depending on which state you live in will determine how much your tuition is, if that is an issue for you. if you live in california, ucsd will cost you substantially less and vice versa for colorado.

Why go to Bolder when you can go to sunny San Diego? There is no place like San Diego. The place is such a blast. Wish I'd gone to undergrad there.

How much is a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in San Diego, California?
How much is a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign in San Diego, California?
It was 3 in the morning. There was no one on the street so I just paused and then went. Wtf. I got a speeding ticket a month earlier for $500. How much is this one going to be?? Also it said Im not eligible for traffic school for my speeding ticket and it was the first ticket I ever got. :( So how much is the ticket going to be, and will I be able to get traffic school for THIS one. I dont even know how much my insurance is going to go up for my first ticket. Im still a student so I have no idea how Im going to pay for all this...

Ca CVC 22450 - Failure to stop at a stop sign - $138 base fine + applicable gov fees and surcharges. For more serious violations, one is not eligible for traffic.
3
The courts website normally has the court fees on it. Call the courts and ask if you make take a class. Your insurance will only go up for 1 ticket if you take a class for the other ticket removal
4
To get a fine that high for speeding, you were going at least 26 mph over the speed limit. Traffic school is not generally offered automatically when speed is more than 25 mph over the limit, although the court can order it if you ask. However, you can certainly use traffic school to avoid the conviction on the stop sign charge. Although a court can order traffic school for two citations issued within 18 months, I doubt that this would be likely when they are this close together, so you would only get rid of one, anyway. I am afraid Ben is way off on the fine. The scheduled fine for violating Veh C 22450(a) is $146+65 for a total of $211. Your fine should be close to that. Traffic school can cost up to $50 more, plus the cost of the school.

If you're going to be too picky, then you're not going to find anywhere. Well, if it's only offered down south, then you have to be the one to make the decision whether you'd want to gvo there or not. Anyways, about finding out where it's at, I suggest you make an account at www.monster.com and try and find a fashion design school on there. Good Luck.

Academy of Art University is a very prestigious art school if you want to go into the clothing design field. San Francisco Art Institute is very famous too and my friend is in the fashion design field and she loves it. She just got a job designing for GAP.
