Review This School
T. N.
What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about my school is that we get charged for things in our tuition that we don’t even use. It is unfair for students who commute that don’t use the gym and they are charged for it/.Describe your classmates in one sentence.My classmates are motivated and smart; I befriend most of them and they help me with any questions I have.

Describe your school in one sentence.UCR is a eco friendly.What kind of person should attend this school?People who wants to get the best out of college. The professors here are helpful and everyone are very friendly. Though you might not get the college experience, such as going to parties, but if education is your priorty then its right for you

Describe your school in one sentence.It’s a clean, scotland-inspired campus with a modern touch in some areas and covered with green everywhere else, but now also includes some useless, giant campus decorations in an attempt to look more modern and instead just looks bulky.Describe your classmates in one sentence.They keep to themselves for the most part so you’re going to have to approach them and keep in touch with them yourself—face it, most of them don’t want to be there (because it isn’t exactly a highly-ranked school) or don’t care to be there (parents probably pushed them into university that they got into by the skin of their teeth).

What do you consider the worst thing about your school? Why?The worst thing about UCR is the weather. It is extremely hot in the summers, up to 110 degrees, and during the winter and fall it can be very windy and cold. It is wise to check the weather before leaving your dorm or house. Also, classrooms are typically cold so be sure to bring a sweater.Describe your school in one sentence.Initially thought to be a school for rejects, but it has transformed into a school for intellectual and forward thinking individuals.
