    I had a horrible experience trying to take Microbiology. The lab aspect was a complete nightmare…read morebecause the lab company UCSD works with is incredibly disorganized. I'm currently taking a Chemistry course. This week, I spent one hour learning chemistry on Canvas, and five hours trying to get my textbook and homework platform to link with Canvas. Canvas provides no instructions whatsoever. The professor just tells you to contact the textbook company. The textbook website says to click on a link on Canvas. Unfortunately that link in Canvas takes you to a blank page. Other students are having problems too. This is my second horrible experience with UCSD Extension. If you want to learn science, find another place to take your classes. If you want to spend hours trying to resolve technical problems, this is a great option. I wish UCSD Ext would not outsource.

    I took Microbiology with Lab 169818 at UC San Diego and it was the most disorganized experience…read more Lessons are everywhere. Not organized at all. Mixed up and repeated information the learning sections. The videos provided for learning are not the teacher speaking and are random people/"professors" but some of them can't even pronounce the words and sound like they have NO CLUE what they are talking about. It's quite confusing what you really need to know for the class because the modules say one thing but the PowerPoints, reading, and videos talk about that plus way more. It's very much so an overload. It's like no one took the time to perfect or even proofread this class setup and modules. Science lab kit is way overpriced for what you get. Like really for $450 you couldn't add 2 paper clips, alcohol, extra masks, more candles, extra Petri dishes with agar, and extra microbes (for any errors). We are not experts here and being left alone to do the labs especially at the beginning is trial and error. For me I accidentally punctured the agar with the loop and ruined my whole sample and it was just shit out of luck unless I wanted to buy more myself (only about $10 but I just paid $450 for this kit so why should I have to do that?). Not everything in the kit was used. It was a huge waste of money. The class is kind of "at your own pace" so you could totally finish early and wing it! I guess if you have the money and don't really want to learn but just need the class- go for it. I would never recommend this class or school to anyone. It was a terrible experience and this is coming from someone who already has a degree and has taken MANY online classes.

    I graduated from this college at UCSD!…read more DAMN those MMW Classes but I learned a lot! Hi Professor Chang! ACADEMICS***** ERC MMW Classes are super easy! No need to study or buy textbook! just show up to midterm and final and you should be okay! (I do not recommend this for your other classes...learned this the hard way...) ERC housing is super close to RIMAC gym and arena if you like working out. The housing is also super close to the Village transfer housing which was super nice and new when I lived there! There is a sushi Bistro restaurant that you can use your dining dollars at nearby, a market which used to have the best Iced White Mochas on campus (at least when I went here)! Cafe V also had pretty good chipotle mayo for their burgers. Not really many places to study at ERC :( I always ended up "studying" all the way in Warren college in the computer labs (SHOUTOUT TO EBU3B you da real MVP)! Also cuter dudes studying in the Engineering section of Geisel. Parking is pretty much non-existent unless you're lucky enough to snag a spot at Pangea Parking Garage or Hopkins! Good luck! The counselors here are AWESOME! Definitely willing to work with their students. They understand that everyone learns differently and willing to set goals and plans! YAYYY! If you're applying to UCSD and don't know which college to choose ERC is not bad! I would also consider Marshall, Muir or Warren! Def not 6th college lol. Good luck kids!

    You must ALWAYS have an appointment or risk never being seen. Not much to say about this place…read moreaside from, "its super far from 'campus'" and "longest wait ever" ..

    I just spent the last 2 years at this fine institution. IR/PS gets 5 stars for one simple reason:…read morethose 2 years have been two of the best years of my life (so far). Why? 1. I learned a lot. Before IR/PS, statistics were foreign to me and I had no idea what econometrics was. Now I (somewhat) know what a confidence interval is, and am familiar with regressions. Woo hoo. Thanks to IR/PS, I know what a public good is, and am familiar with the principal-agent relationship. Crucial stuff right? I should know what a debit/credit is, but frankly, the accounting professor sucks big time, so I still don't know what the hell that is all about. Oh well, nothing is perfect. 2. I partied a lot. Sure, I did a fair amount in undergrad, but i had plenty of opportunities to socialize while at IR/PS as well (just look at all the yelp reviews I've written the last 18 months to get an idea). I'll tell you this much: us grad students know how to drink and party as well as any undergrads. Well ok, definitely compared to UCSD undergrads. Hmm, yeah.. That only means we partied more than once a quarter. Just take my word for it- we found ways to have fun. At least those of us who didn't get caught up in the competitive bullshit. 3. The professors. They're all bright, most helpful, and many friendly. There are only a couple that I'd deem subpar (simply due to super boring lectures. one exception is aforementioned accounting professor, who wasn't boring, but sketchy as can be). 4. Last and most definitely not least: my classmates. The cool thing about this program is it attracts such a wide variety of people. You have us management people, who have a curriculum akin to a MBA program, the econ people who love quantitative crap apparently, and the non-profit people who are a lot more noble and optimistic than I am. Oh, and the politics and policy people. Not sure how to describe them (guess my generalizing skills are lacking tonight). Anyway, all these different groups are brought together at IR/PS. Result is an eclectic group of cool ass mofos. I can't think of any classmate who didn't have at least a couple interesting life stories. And I know I'm going to miss them all when i say adios to San Diego. Well besides the half that will end up in DC with me. So if you want to have an enriching two years and are interested in international relations, I strongly recommend going to IR/PS.

    Fantastic graduate education for sure. Professors have impeccable academic and applied ("real…read moreworld") credentials. Very rigorous course load; 98 credits in 2 years, which is more than twice the load you'll get at GW's Elliot school and similar East Coast programs. In short you come out of the program with a superior skill set and knowledge base that puts you on par with any graduate from SEPA, SAIS or the Kennedy School. So why 4 instead of 5 stars? Over emphasis on the management aspect. Curriculum wise this is not a bad thing, however the majority of career services alumni connections are in the private/consulting sectors. I worry about IR/PS's ability to compete in the job market with the big name east coast schools in the realm of foreign policy, human rights, civil society, think tank work, etc. Name recognition. It's an unfortunate aspect to being located in SoCal, but the local invites good collaborations with Mex and Pacific based institutions (ie. US-Mex center, Center on Pacific Economies, etc.) A few things you should know: Quantitative heavy work load, if this turns you off (it shouldn't in this field) then look elsewhere. Language requirement is rather lax. Limited field work in the area (internships, volunteer work etc.) Alumni connections seem to be west coast oriented. So, go to this school if: You love the Pacific Rim, love quantitative work, want an exceptional degree, want to enjoy a diverse student body (interest wise/country of origin wise), love the So-Cal sun. Just don't expect a job to be waiting for you at the Council on Foreign Relations upon graduation...though you will have the necessary training.
