Major: Psychology (This Major's Salary over time)
I am a first year student at UC, as an active member on campus i must say that many of the positive and negative comments are quite true. The up side to UC are: the science and nursing programs and health fields (ot, pt), the Crimnal Justice and ECI as well as business programs, the jounalism and communications program and the Child Life Pschology program these programs will most likely get you a job after college, all others are either mediocre or crappy. The dorms are not amazing but they aren that bad either and have WAY less rules than most other colleges. Many people here are from NYC and Boston. The school is VERY segregated by race. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics and Asian usual hang out with each other although there is very little exeption. All the preffesors I have had have been great and even go beyond there office hours to be helpful. The academic scene her is GREAT. The socail is not completely boring it is honestly entirely what you make it, the bars and clubs are ehre for all races and types of parties its your personality that will make them anything else. The town is not college freindly ur meal money can only be used on campus n the cab services are rude. It isnt all that but I have come to realize its not that bad. Im transferring but I dont hate it any more, I would just prefer a school with better psychology networking opportunities. Honestly if ur from NYC, NY boston, LI, youl probably love it or pretend to hate it because there is a whole bunch of us up here
