S. C.
Describe your school in one sentence.People who never attended the school say that UCR sucks, but it is actually not that bad because this college provides a diverse and friendly environment that fit each and every student’s needs for a better future.,What’s the most frustrating thing about your school?The most frustrating thing about my school is dealing with housing and all the miscellaneous documents requested by the financial aid office every year. In addition, I have been noticing that I get lesser and lesser financial aid as the year progresses at my school to the point my parents or I cannot afford to pay off the tuition anymore.

What do you wish you had known before you came to this school?I wish I had known that I would be in debt so soon in order to stay in school…. :-(,What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?My school is a nice place to be because it is very easy to make friends, especially if you live at the dorms or nearby. It is close to my parents’ house and it is convenient in many ways. For example, there are stores around, fast food places, movie theatre, bank, and the downtown is not that far away from the university. That city is culturally rich in general and there is always something going on there. Even the bus service and the vanpool are quite effective.
