Earl Warren College is one of eight undergraduate colleges at the University of California, San Diego. Warren College has one of the largest student populations at UC San Diego, with over 4,500 undergraduate students, comprising about one seventh of the student population. It is named for former California governor and chief justice Earl Warren. Warren College was founded in 1974, and is located near the canyon, with Hopkins Parking Structure to the west on the other side. Voigt Drive runs through the Warren College campus and connects to Hopkins Drive on the other side of the canyon, to the west. Since Fall 2020, Warren College is the only college not located on Ridge Walk, which overlooks the coastline, when Sixth College moved for second time from its former location in Pepper Canyon (now partially demolished and the site of transfer student housing) to its new home in the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood (NTPLLN) on Ridge Walk built on former Muir Parkings Lots (P207 and P208) directly north of Muir College.
