Review of University of California-Merced

from Orosi, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

Well, I can really say that learning and getting your education is great at any school, but some people are better suited for a particular learning enviroment. UC Merced makes it easy for those that come from a small town or city. The professors are great and come from all over the University system, working one on one with students. Some classes are small enough to call it your Home Room and others are big enough you can call it my High School (a student body of 900). Over all I have learned allot about Psychology, Sociology, Writing, Stats, Music, Planets, the Environment, Plato, Pluto, and the list goes on and on...........

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

Its a great place to spend outdoors and and relax when your not cramming your head with studying and work. Other than all the other good things that come with college, the mall... no more than a small strip of nothing. Restaurants are OK, but if you have a sensitive stomach forget about it (some are good though). Campus is great and the lake is truly beautiful at sunrise and sunset. Love clearing my mind there.

Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?

Hey Its college, believe me, it ain't cheap were ever you go. The good thing about UCM is the work opportunities are fantastic.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

Work hard, get plenty of sleep and exercise, smile everyday whether you mean it or not and your day will fly by.

Which types of students will excel at your college?

Great place for those that love the smell of fresh air, who come from small towns and are terrified of culture shock, those who want something different and those who are ready to face the challenges of life.
