Best UCSD college for art majors?

I'm interested in pursuing art at UCSD and was wondering which residential college is the best fit for art students. Does anyone have experiences or recommendations for which college is the most supportive of art majors?

UCSD's unique College system doesn't cater to specific majors but rather seeks to provide different educational philosophies and general education requirements. This means your choice of college will determine the general education classes you take, not your major classes like art.

However, some colleges might offer a more appealing curriculum depending on your academic goals or interests. For example, Sixth College has a curriculum that emphasizes culture, art, and technology, while Seventh College focuses on a changing planet, which could inspire you for sustainable or environmental art endeavors.

It might also be beneficial to consider the community and culture of each college. John Muir College and Revelle College, for instance, have vibrant communities and many extracurricular activities that encourage creativity.

A application tip: in the UCSD application, they're going to ask you to rank the colleges in order of preference. You should read each college’s general education requirements carefully and rank them based on which requirements align with your interests the most. All colleges support all majors, so you'll be well-supported as an art student no matter which you choose! Lastly, no matter which college you end up in, remember that all UCSD students have access to the same campus resources and opportunities.

Remember that there's no definitive answer to which college is "best" for art majors—it really depends on your personal interests and goals for your undergraduate education.
