The general education classes (especially Chemistry and the Math 009 series) are set up so that you are basically taking a year of the same class, so the material covered isn't too fast-paced, and it certainly is manageable. There is a wide range of classes to choose from, and fulfilling your breadth requirements certainly means you'll never be bored in class!
Do you enjoy the experience at your school?
The campus is so alive! There is so much to do during the day in between classes. The HUB lounge has so much to offer by way of entertainment, including the flat-screen TVs, multiple game systems, free WiFi, and Foosball tables. The people are so friendly, too! It seems everyone's just all smiles!
Do you feel you’re getting value for the money you’re spending on college?
The recently remodeled buildings, like the HUB and the Student Recreation Center, provide ways for the students to participate in extracurricular activities. In terms of classes, since it's a UC, the professors are at the tops of their fields as they delve into their specified research topics, and the Teaching Assistants and Lab Assistants are all Master's degree students, so you'll definitely have an amazing all-around learning experience!
Do you have any tips for prospective students?
If you plan on commuting, make sure you get to school earlier in the morning. The parking lots fill up insanely quickly.
Don't be afraid to talk to professors. As cheesy as it sounds, they are there to help you learn, and I promise they don't bite. Office hours are a great way to get to know your professors, TAs, and get help on homework and project questions. This connection will help a lot when you need to do research in your major later.
