Secrets of San Diego

Hello all!
I just want to take a minute to congratulate all of you on getting into UCSD and for choosing Warren College! You are all in for some new experiences, wonderful memories, and everlasting friendship :D

It may seem a bit awkward since you’re not a “freshman”, but you’re also not “in the know” like returning students, either. It may take a bit of extra effort on your part, but taking the efforts will definitely be worth the time! Here are a few tips:

1. Join a club! There are so many sports clubs, art clubs, religious clubs, heritage clubs and MORE that UCSD has to offer. It may also help to know that some students who have been on campus join campus clubs AFTER their first year, so you may not be the only upper-class student new to the organization.
2. Seize social opportunities. PARTICIPATE in the transfer group orientation. There you’ll meet other transfer students and returning UCSD students who can be your potential friends that you'll cherish forever <3
3. Reach out! I heard of a story of one student who put Smarties and Hershey’s Kisses on her residence hall door and invited others to help themselves and leave a message (including their room number so she could visit them back). Cute isn't it?

And if you ever get tired of dining hall food (It's kind of hard not too) here is a secret place that not many people know about. It's hidden in the heart of San Diego and when you find it, it's always a surprise! (Kind of like finding wild pokemon in the grass...) Anyhoo! Have you ever wanted to be WILD, SPONTANEOUS, AND CRAZYYY?!? Then you should try out Tiloli's Crazee Burger! They have burgers that you can't find anywhere else. They have crocodile, ostrich, kangaroo, wild boar, and more! I personally have tried the crocodile and ostrich. Pretty interesting, if you ask me(as compared to McDonald's or Burgerking). You can check out the menu here. The downside is that it may be a little but pricey but I say its well worth it. Where else can you find exotic burgers like these??

Stay fresh and have fun :)
