The teachers here at UCR are really there for their students. Depending on the subject you are in, the interaction of level between student and teacher can very from just going to their office hours and asking question or set up a lunch date so that the meeting is more casual and relaxing for both the student and the teacher. They spend their time making sure that everyone understands the material that they are teaching. They welcome questions because that shows them that there are people her that want to learn and that motivates them even more.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The environment here is so peaceful and also energetic at the same time. The people here are very friendly and are willing to help out if you ask. There is always someone here to guide you around school. When you want to escape a long week of studying and homework, there is always something fun to do on campus and off it as well. There are lots of activities around campus and even better just within walking distance, the University Theater is available to students, and if you get lucky like I did, you can also have a class there as well!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Like all great schools, the price for education is not cheap, nor is it that expensive. The price at first may seem outrageous, but all you have to do is check what exactly will you be paying for and deduct that from your tuition. For example, I am not living in a dorm so i don't have to include that in my tuition pay. There are several other variables that I don't have to pay for, so it is all a matter of what do you really need and what do you not need.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
My suggestions for new incoming students, is to make sure before you come here, do a lot of scholarships and also work on a FAFSA so that you don't have to pay that much for college. It is much easier to use scholarship money than to have to use your own. Work hard on your high school classes so that you won't be struggling during college. Once you are here, stay on top of your studies and classes. It's best to not get too sidetracked because there is no one holding your hand any more in college. Its hard to get back into gear once you have lost your way, but stay the course and you will do beautifully.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
This school is great for any kind of student interested in becoming someone great in life, so that's pretty much everyone. They have great athletic programs, music programs, and various clubs and activities that can fit anyone's personality.
