My overall experience UCR has been great! The education the university provides helps me feel like everything has been handed out to me for success. In order for me to obtain it is to work very hard. The professors I’ve had this past year has been one of my best teachers I’ve had in education, and I’ve had no complaints about them. One of the best things about UCR is it’s campus and it’s students. The campus renovations and students make me feel like UCR is really home and is a college that is expanding to further boast its success.
Currently, UCR is almost entirely online, and it has been a completely seamless transition! Every professor has done their best to provide the best learning experience possible for all students, and they are all willing to work around potential problems with students, rather than simply brushing them all aside.
When I was a first-year, transitioning to living on campus and living away from home was relatively easy for someone who very much enjoys alone time (away from constantly being around family). Living on campus was quite fun as there are plenty of opportunities of making new friends and creating connections. In addition, there are a lot of things to do off-campus, such as University Village or local malls (the bus is free for students!).
As for the school life itself, it's what students would have expected; you come to class and learn. Obviously, having the "better" professors would make a tremendous difference in learning, but so far most of my professors have been kind and flexible. UCR also presents plenty of clubs and groups to join, ranging from hobby-oriented to sports. Overall, UCR presents a diverse campus and learning environment and welcomes all students.
One thing to note: there are local crimes that sometimes occur near and on campus which are announced via email.
