Best UCSD Colleges for Engineering?

I'm looking into engineering programs and was wondering which colleges at UC San Diego are the best for engineering. I'm considering some UC options, so info on UCSD's strengths in engineering would be super helpful!

At UC San Diego, your chosen undergraduate college does not impact your major coursework or limit your options in choosing a major. Instead, the colleges are more like living-learning communities, each with its personality, general education (GE) requirements, and distinct writing programs. In other words, all students, regardless of which college they belong to, have equal access to all majors and courses.

For you, this means that as a prospective engineering student, you won't be studying at a particular college with a stronger engineering program because all engineering students at UCSD have access to the same resources and courses. The Jacobs School of Engineering is where you will most likely spend most of your time, regardless of your residential college assignment.

When picking among the seven colleges (Revelle, John Muir, Thurgood Marshall, Earl Warren, Eleanor Roosevelt, Sixth, and Seventh), consider factors such as the GE requirements and their fit with your educational goals, and possible fit with the living-learning community.

Some students prefer to choose colleges like John Muir or Sixth since they have some of the most flexible GE requirements, which allows them to have more free electives to use toward their major. However, your choice should depend on your interests, whether you wish for a more defined academic path (like in Revelle, which has rigorous requirements, particularly in math and science), or prefer more freedom in your academic choices. Ultimately, when it comes to studying engineering, UCSD as a whole has highly ranked programs that will provide you with a strong education, regardless of your home college.
