Best UCSD Dorms

"It’s at the center of the school so everything is relatively close. Its also new so the building is clean. "

"Honestly, I loved it here. A triple is pretty small but it is totally do-able. Our window was closed most of the time so it felt pretty dark and stuffy in there but not too big of a deal especially with a fan. The mail area and dining halls are super close by as well as gyms. There is no kitchen so bring a microwave or you can use Argo or Blake's kitchens. I lived on the first floor, no stairs was a plus but the common area situation was a little weird. There were two doubles and a single (for the RA) and a one stall, one shower, one sink bathroom. We didn't have our own private common room but we used the fleet common room which was huge and super nice."

"Lived in Tioga as a freshman during the 2012-2013 school year in a triple and Tenaya as a senior during the 2015-2016 school year in a single. Best location on campus out of all the colleges, since it's in the center. You can get lucky with an ocean view as well. Also the most spacious rooms out of all the colleges."

"The North Torrey pines living and learning neighborhood is the brand new heart of UCSD. The project was recently completed in the fall of 2020 and is still realizing its full potential as the rest of the restaurants start to roll out. One of the biggest stand-out features of apartments and suites at the new sixth (NTPLLN) is that the bathroom and shower stall are all individually roomed. Anyone can use each facility separately without using the other. This allows for great bathroom privacy as well as fewer clashes in usage timings. The bathrooms themselves are of impeccable quality, and some suites in the Catalyst building (mine) even have a rare bathtub. The location is central and almost crucial to all classes for undergraduates, and the food is considered to be the best in the Sixth dining halls."

"Lived in Tamarack in the big double during the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 school years as a sophomore and a junior. Very nice apartments, so it's like living in a 5 star hotel. Tuolumne is older and more outdated. I didn't live in those personally, but had friends that did. However, they are remodeling Tuolumne."
