Walking Distance · UC San Diego
Your commute was decided before you enrolled.
↓ here's why
There was a moment at UCSD when you stopped asking "how far is it?" and started asking "is it worth it?"
Because nothing here is actually just a short walk.
You decide what's worth walking for.
UCSD has eight colleges.
None of them is the center.
Most campuses have a heart. We have a perimeter.
Nothing sits in the middle. Only competing pulls.
Most routes pass through these four points.
Every student ends up here eventually.
For Marshall, Sixth, and Warren — it's right there.
For everyone else, it's a choice.
Nobody stumbles into RIMAC.
For some, getting there is already the workout.
If you live up north, you've got no excuses.
The closest thing to a campus center.
Yet, half the campus is still 12 minutes away.
Don't believe me? Ask a Seventh student.
The only one that takes you off campus.
Warren is basically already there.
For everyone else, it's a journey before the journey.
Everything becomes distance.
Between where you are, and where you need to be.

Proximity became a quiet lottery.
Some colleges won it. Some didn't.
