The professors here are really great and they are always willing to help out. The level of difficulty in the classes is great, but getting good grades is something that can be done if you go to your professor's office hours and ask questions. In addition to office hours, there are plenty of resources, such as discussions and supplemental instruction which are really helpful.
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
UCR is a Great place. Everyone here is friendly. The campus is big but it is not huge which makes it easy to get around. The school has many great resources for students and there are an infinite amount of ways to get involved on and off campus (there is even a recreation center). UCR is also conveniently placed in Riverside, so there are plenty of things students can do during their free time such as go hiking, snowboarding or surfing.
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
Despite the increase in tuition due to budget cuts, UCR is really affordable compared to other schools. The class sizes can be as small as 12 students and as large as 200 students depending on the type of class being taken.
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
Get involved in school. Go to office hours; this will help out a lot, especially when it is time to get letters of recommendation.
Which types of students will excel at your college?
UCR is great for students who are serious about learning. Those who do not care about their academics and are out socializing most of their time will be gone by the first quarter. UCR is a research based institution, so for those of you planning on getting a PhD or some other type of advanced degree, this is a plus.
