UC is definitely an experience. Just primarily a bad one. Campus is a one square mile concrete city in the middle of a demilitrized zone. The whole layout is a hodpodge of buildings built as if each was afterthought to the grand plan. An old school adage states UC = Under Construction, this was definitely true during my undergrad (2000-05). Half the campus was literally inaccesible to me my entire time there. The administration is also horribly inefficient. They raised our tuition rates the maximum allowable and fired numerous support staff from my department claiming that they were short on funds. All the while continuing on their building spree. Essentially the university wastes the funds it recieves from the state on these pointless construction projects instead of trying to improve the academic environment. Also unless you are going to a select few colleges (medicine,engineering,ccm, or DAAP) don't bother coming here. A UC degree is not going to exactly get you noticed in any other major and even the ones mentioned as relatively good are decidely mid-tier in my opinion. Crime is also a serious problem since the university is in the middle of a ghetto.P.S. This is not some exaggeration. If you seriously want to attend UC I would definitely see it in person (don't take the guided tour) beofre choosing.
