Walk through a realistic busy day in the life with me as a 1st year pre-medical student at UC Santa Barbara. See the campus, classrooms, registration, labs, new buildings, dining halls, etc...!
No bc when you mentioned the weather istg I’m going up there this Saturday for the STEP program and one of the mentors was all like it’s gonna be in the 90’s 😭
how are the physics, calculus, and orgo classes? I committed to UCSB for bios-psych as a transfer for the fall 2024 quarter. I did great in chem/bio/stats/research methods so far but scared of the difficulty at UCSB. (ps: i only took algebra in hs but was able to get A's in CC).
I also am biopsych, welcome to UCSB! I think organic chem is the most rigorous of those courses you mentioned. UCSB has a lot of resources to help and good grades in all are absolutely attainable with discipline and extreme effort.
Hi Ella! I was accepted as 2024 freshman in UCSB as a pre-bio major. Can you recommend a residence hall closer to the science building and which dining hall is better? I heard that manza is very nice but it's too far from bio building.
Hi! Yes, I would recommend any of the Chi 5 Dorms which includes Anacapa, Santa Cruz, San Miguel, San Nic, and Santa Rosa. Those are as close as you can get to stem buildings and the library, hope this helps!
There is no pre-med major in college, more that you declare a specific "track/path" and complete the required courses. But yes UCSB has great pre-health paths and resources. And yes, you can start it in your first year.
