There are almost countless resources available to students who seek help in subjects. These include, but are not limited to, Supplementary Instruction classes, office hours, teaching assistants, the Learning Center, and success counselors. I found them extremely helpful while I was struggling through tough classes. The quarter system expects you to keep up, and adapt quickly. You will definitely learn tons-inside and outside the classroom!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
I honestly don't believe I belong anywhere else. The campus is well-kept, extremely diverse, and promotes many opportunities for students. There are many ways to get involved on campus! I was extremely surprised of this. I also met so many wonderful people, many of whom are true and kind. The university staff actually makes an attempt to get to know you on a personal level, and is usually very helpful. There are many hot spots in the surrounding areas of southern California, as well as a nearby University Village-made especially for UCR students!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
We all know that college is expensive. Yet with all the opportunities laid out for you, countless free grand events and giveaways, club excursions, strong friendships and relationships, good variety of majors, prime location, and the helpful staff that only want the best for you, what more could you ask for the price? The financial aid office is also extremely helpful in making sure you get the state grants and loans you qualify for.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Please don't make the same mistake I did freshman year-STUDY instead of EXPLORE half the time! Yes, I know it's a whole new world to discover. But keep in mind that you didn't come here to fail. You don't want to struggle in a certain class that serves as a huge prerequisite for many other classes, do you? If you need help, pursue it! People want to help, and the resources made available to you prove this. Don't forget to keep your head on straight as well. College is the perfect time and place to find yourself and try new things, but not if it harms your well being or mentality.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UCR is a great university for students that welcome diversity and opportunity. UCR is definitely and up-and-coming school. This year, our student mark exceeded 20,000 for the first time in UCR history! It truly is a great school.
