Review of University of California-Riverside

from Simi Valley, CA

Do you feel you’re learning a lot?

All of my professors and my TA's are very helpful in making sure I understand and gain knowledge on the subjects that are being taught to me. I am able to find time to study even though I live in the dorms, they are set up to be a good learning environment. I have access to outside help in the campus learning center.

Do you enjoy the experience at your school?

The weather is great if you like warmer weather. The students and residents are very diverse. No one is unfriendly and it is very easy to find things to do and to get around.

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

UC schools are expensive, but they are worth it. You have access to so much, and not mention they have a great reputation. UCR is a fairly new UC so it has no real stereotypes that go along with its name, besides being a very diverse school.

Do you have any tips for prospective students?

My tip would be to make sure you have walking shoes, and find where all your classes are before hand!

Which types of students will excel at your college?

This school is great for students who want to go to school with people of many different backgrounds. Also if you like the desert weather!
