Let
me just say coming in I really gave this university
a chance, but I ended up transferring because I hated
it so much. The faculty is very unhelpful. Expect many
of your classes to be huge, especially going in as
an undecided major or a science major. My adviser was
also unhelpful as he didn't seem to care about classes
I actually wanted to take. He acted as if I
was a number. Many professors are foreign , which I
don't have a problem with, as long as they can
speak English correctly. At one math class I was in,
I noticed my professor had misspelled words on the board
and many of us couldn't even understand what he was
talking about.
The food here is terrible, especially at
Marketpointe. Sometimes bugs can be found in the food there.
If you are going to UC, expect to be served
the same things day in and day out. There are
often long lines in waiting for the food. However, there
are some great restaurants around. There is a Chipotle, an
Arbys, and there are many Chinese and Indian restaurants around
the university. There is also a Kroger nearby within walking
distance in case you want actual groceries.
Many buildings
on the campus are falling apart. Inside Zimmer, when it
rains, sometimes it leaks inside and there are puddles everywhere.
The dorm rooms are tiny, which is to be expected
at many universities, but the conditions are terrible in them.
Paint is peeling off of the walls in some rooms
and the air conditioning is terrible. The bathrooms are disgusting
and also are falling apart. They are not cleaned everyday
and there are puddles everywhere where you can slip and
fall.
UC works for some people and doesn't for
others. However, I would definitely not recommend coming here. I'm
glad I transferred.
