the housing on-campus is very new, every building is made of good quality. the library is huge, you can eat in it, and some areas are actually quiet. the whole campus is wireless, i can get text to my smartphone when my laundry is done washing.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
try to get on campus-housing, i recomend a double room. start with the most basic meal plan, you can always add money on latter. try to explore the town of merced. there is a downtown, a mall, and a lake within really close distance.
Do you find there’s enough academic rigor at your school?
the classes are not that hard; just try to go to every lecture, that is where most information is shared. do not be afraid to go to professor's office hours, many are really nice and want to help you.
Describe the dorm life at your college.
you definitely want to try to request a double room. the triples cost less, but they are the exact same size as the double so it gets a little cramped to have an extra person in there.
Describe the food and dining at your college.
the dinning commons or dc is good. i would recommend the grill which makes cheeseburgers and onion rings. also, there is a salad bar, sandwich making station, as well as a soup of the day.
What’s there to do for fun at your college?
there is a completely free, bus service for all of merced. go downtown there is two movie theaters, a billiard hall, and a lake walking distance from the school where you can swim.
Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus
you have to hang out at the latern, on the first floor of the library between classes, a sip a mocha latte.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
since the school is so new, you can start a club even as a freshman. there is a swim club, gardening, robotics, and so on.
Are you involved in any clubs or activities?
there are many greeks on campus that are always active in fundraising in creative and fun ways like kickball tournaments.
How would you describe campus safety? Do you feel safe on campus?
the school has its own police task force, and every student can request an escort anytime anywhere on campus. i feel very safe here.
