Student Voices
“The Triton Summer Academy gave me an entirely new view on UC San Diego. The academy exposed me to the university life of UC San Diego and how amazing the campus truly is. I was able to see professionals in their fields and was able to learn from them. I met passionate students who do not only care for their studies, but for their communities. The academy truly changed how I saw the university in the most positive way.”
“I am more excited and determined to become a UCSD Triton because I have seen all the opportunities that this campus has had to offer.”
“The medical school made me change my mind. Also, being able to tour around the whole campus made me really consider the college for both my undergraduate and graduate degrees.”
