About Aline Gutierrez Rios

she/ her

Hi Tritons, welcome to UC San Diego! My name is Aline Gutierrez Rios (She/Her/Hers). I transferred from Cuesta Community College in San Luis Obispo, and I’m a Political Science major in Eleanor Roosevelt College. I like to attend sports games, campus events, and MEChA meetings whenever possible. My favorite coffee spot on campus is Bird Rock (my go-to order is the Left Coast Latte). I also like to explore San Diego and go on adventures with my friends or by myself. During the weekend you can find me window shopping, at a coffee shop, or sightseeing in random places. My advice to transfer students is not to compare your journey to others! It’s natural to want to measure our progress, successes, and failures. However, it’s important to remember that everyone has different starting points. It took me five years to transfer because of personal circumstances, but I’m now the first person in my family to attend college. I’m excited to meet everyone and share what I know about transferring!
