I
have just barely finished my first year at UCR and
I love it here. The campus is beautiful, lots of
trees, grass, etc. and the architecture isn't half bad. Before
coming here I thought that the campus would be ugly
and sad, but that was not the case here at
all. Academic-wise, I think that the education quality you are
receiving is great. It is worth the money you pay.
Most of the professors here usually have the student's needs
in mind and so they try to be as helpful
as possible. I've had professors who've contributed so much to
my education and have left me feeling inspired, to mention
a few names: Professor Goldberry Long and Professor Tiffany Lopez.
The classes are harder than expected, I definitely felt challenged
academically. The city of Riverside can get a bit dull
but that is on my part because I have not
been to a lot of places in Riverside. I have
yet to go to downtown which everyone always says is
a fun place to be. The University Village which might
be like a 10 minute walk from campus usually satisfies
my entertainment needs. There's a theater, a couple of restaurants,
and one store that I really like to go to
that's in the UV that sells used DVDs and CDs,
though I can't remember the name right now. Your social
life in Riverside is all on what you make of
it. Most of the friends you make are the people
you meet in your dorm so definitely consider dorming at
least your first year of college. And let's just get
this out of the way, yes there is a lack
of school spirit. To be honest, UCR was actually my
first choice UC because it is the only UC that
has my major: Creative Writing. But before I had made
the decision to coming here, there were people from my
high school who brought me down with their comments about
how UCR was one of the lower rate schools the
UC system. But I visited the campus and the campus
aesthetics were enough to persuade me to coming here. Plus,
they were also the school who gave me the best
financial aid package. And again, the fact that it had
my major. I think that students are maybe a little
butt hurt that they didn't get into they're top choice
UC school and so they feel the need to complain.
But UCR is a good school. I do not regret
my decision in coming here.
