| After
attending four years at Riverside, I've come to discover that
UCR is a bad school because the students, reputation, and
locality are bad BUT UCR is a good school because
everything else is good. When I first came here,
I was really depressed because left and right, I ran
into individuals who were literally, incompetent. Some people didn't
know how to write decent essays and some didn't even
know how to cite their sources in even their own
format! I got out thinking, this is who I'm
going to be affiliated with for the rest of my
life. Skipping the drama, by the time I got
into my second year, I realized that my education was
what I made of it, not anybody else and with
that, I started to speak more with professors and really
engaged into classes as opposed to engaging with fellow students
(which is what i did in High School where all
my fellow peers were for the most part AP/honors students).
We have excellent professors and excellent classes. If
you are looking for a place that fosters your education,
this is it. Research is not hard
to come by here whether it is your own or
one that is through a professor. Furthermore, the city
is always up to support a student by providing internships
(although these positions are often not paid unless you have
a work study grant). One other thing,
the student body isn't very active but that is beginning
to change. Get into an organization and make it
great because it is only through student life that a
university becomes great. The power of the people is
the true power of the institution.
