I actually just took my last final at U.C.R. this week so now I can write something about the campus that I have grown so attached to and that has become almost a home to me certain quarters because I was there so much. The campus helped me meet new...
Pros: People, environment, away from city-life (can be good or bad), class ratio, and professors Cons: People, location, weather, academic enrichment/opportunity, opportunities after graduation, administration
I feel I am qualified to write a review for this school. I have been at this school (UCR) for a full two years and will be transferring next year. This guide is to set as an informative guide to hopefully help you decide if you want to come here....
Pros: Many free activities Cons: More student involvement (as volunteers or as audience) is needed
ASPB, the Association of Student Programs Board, provides much of the student entertainment on the Riverside Campus. I was involved with this group during my senior year of college. My title was assistant director of marketing.
Being a computer science major I will make references to some of the services offered to CS and CE majors, but otherwise everything applies to all students. UCR has a beautiful campus. However, there is currently large amounts of construction occurring,...
Pros: strong academic, easily affordable Cons: not a college town, no football, parking
My experience as an undergraduate was atypical in a couple of respects. I was slightly older than the typical freshman (mid-20's) and I worked full-time as a travel agent throughout my undergraduate years. So I wasn't exactly plugged into the college...
Pros: many organizations to join, people are very friendly Cons: city of riverside needs more night clubs and "hang-out" spots
Most people complain about UCR's social life. They argue that Riverside is a boring city so therefore, UCR is also boring. Well, I am here to tell you that this is not true.
Some malls that are near the university are the Ontario Mills and...
Pros: A variety of residence halls community Cons: ...........
Comfy comfy, just like my room back home. You may think that dorms are nothing compared to your cozy room and the teddy bear you have beside you or the gigantic poster of your favorite star. However, you're wrong! Despite the negative rumors you may...
Even though a third building is being constructed, up to now, UC Riverside has only had two dorm buildings to house its students. The first is called Aberdeen Inverness (A&I). The second, called Lothian, is divided into an East and West, and trust...
I joined the UCR Chinese Students Association during my freshman year and remained on staff for two consecutive years. UCR has a sizable Asian Pacific population (more than 50% of the student body is API), and as a result 3 major API student clubs...
Pros: Small campus, Good Facilities, Not as bad as everyone thinks Cons: Parking, Dorms, Dorm Food, No Football team.
Alright coming from the San Luis Obispo, Ca county I was not interested in moving to Souther California to attend college. But the way it worked out, I cannot choose the location of a school and thus I have enrolled in UC Riverside. Now the way it goes...
Pros: small, accessible professors, great weather Cons: smog, lack of things to do in Riverside
I am a third year graduate student at U.C. Riverside. Like many other people here, I had never heard of Riverside until I started looking at graduate programs. As it turns out, this littlest of the U.C. schools has some of the finest graduate and...
Pros: small classes, great people, VERY diverse Cons: no football, not very popular
When I first told my mother that I got accepted into UC Riverside, she said "I didn't even know there was a UC in Riverside." A lot of people I know have never heard of my school. It is kind of sad that UCLA and Cal get all the attention in...
Pros: Great faculty, small classes Cons: Parking sucks
Great school!!!!!!!!! I was a non-traditional student (read as over 18, military vet with a full time job while in school full time). I was accepted to Berkeley and UCLA as well but after finding out about Riverside I accepted their offer.
At...
Pros: private university feel, public university price Cons: not much recognition relative to other UC's, expansion of campus
The University of California, Riverside is a small public university (with a student population of around 11,000) that is currently trying to spread its wings in order to compete with the already overcrowded University of California system. In my two...
Pros: Good counselors, good faculty, biomed program Cons: biomed program, boring, bad air.
I tranfered out of UCR after my sophmore year and realized it was a big mistake, and can compare it with another UC and hopefully inform people between a small and big school.
Pros:
1. UCR is small, very small, you practically know...
