But based on some ERC friends who managed to switch to Warren, I'd say there are few downsides to switching (aside from the bureaucracy involved). Muir would be less likely to take you though, since they're the most popular college; you might want to try for a different one. Unfortunately, as my post says, I don’t know a lot about Revelle.

Im a zoology or "Pre-biology" major. I just want to learn about animals...and math is certainly not my strong suit. I wanted to get into a college like John Muir so I could have a flexible course schedule...should I stick with Revelle or try to switch in a year?

Do you know of any good discussions with people from all the colleges on College Confidential? I'd like to see some opinions from people from the other colleges. Thank you.

I'm Revelle and no matter how horrible the dorms may look, they are actually really helpful in getting to meet new people. The buildings are in square shapes with an open courtyard in the middle, so when you walk out your door, you can see all 6 (or 3 depending on the hall) floors. That way you can meet people on other floors but just hangning out the railings. Same goes for you own floor. you can meet everyone there because you can see everyone. The dorms rooms are actually pretty nice as well (I had a double my first year and it was actually pretty big). Also, Revelle is great for science majors because a lot of courses are needed for science majors anyway. HUM may be tough but depends on the TA mostly... it's not too bad if you really don't hate literature. the dining halls don't serve bad food either... i generally really liked what i was eating and i'm pretty picky. The only defense for sixth is that the apartments are AWESOME. there is soooo much room here. all my friends who come to visit me tell me what large amounts of space we have. the structure of the whole place makes it really feel like an apartment instead of the cubicle feeling i get from ERC and Marshall apartments.
