Sophomore: I love the environment that the University of California, Merced, creates. It's such a vibrant and lively experience. Along with its knit tight community, there are plenty of things you are able to do. From going to the gym, swimming in its public lake not 20 mins away from its campus, to going to jazz clubs and thrift stores. There are also plenty of opportunities that you are able to take, such as becoming a financial advisor, to job shadowing engineers, and even being your own engineer. There are multiple clubs and fraternity's that you can become a part of if that's your thing! Such as the AIAA club; a club based around engineers. In this club, you are able to build your own aviation creation from complete scratch! An awesome experience if you ask me. Other than that, Merced, as I said before, is a lively school. Everybody is friendly and nice, including the professors!... Read 2,206 reviews

Sophomore: After attending Merced College for 1 full year and starting my second year, I can with full confidence say that the professors, staff, and student are one of a kind. Every professor I've had has been great in understanding the troubles of student life and improving students academics, each also being more than willing to help you improve in not only the classroom but in life as well. The staff in the lounge and cafeteria can be consider friends as often times they're students themselves, which creates a friendly environment in which everyone is opened to help everyone!...
