Review This School
J. B.
What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?The kind of student that should not attend UC Riverside would be the type of persont that does not like to be in a diver campus and around people that have different opinions then they have. A person that is very closed minded should not attend UCR because they would be emmersed around people that are totally different they are and very open minded.What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?I tell my friends that my school is very diverse and you feel at home when you are there. You meet new people everyday and everyone so so socialble. Our school is very spirited even thogh we do not have a football team we support our basketball team like crazy. We have a spirt hype team that keeps the crowds going and supporting. We have numerous school activities that people from other schools always sant to come to because they might have heard it from other kids that say it was cool and they would want to be their again.

What kind of person shouldn’t attend this school?People who think they can party all day and pass all of their classes should not apply.What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?There are very few night classes and too many restrictions on classes.

Describe your classmates in one sentence.Diverse and open to conversations.What do you wish you had known before you came to this school?I wish I would have known how to plan a major and minor. People dont tell you that sometimes they overlap. This can cause you graduate in more than four years.
