University of California-Merced Top Questions

The classroom sizes are the best

The best thing about my school is the opportunity it gives the students to engage in undergraduate research because we have such a rigorous research program here in which most professors are all currently still actively working in their own fields. I feel that this also positively impacts their influence and enthusiasm in their classes. The research I am involved in brings scholastic experience and skill in a fusion with real world, hands on experience which is unheard of at many un, and gives me a more enjoyable academic experience.

being small. and being far away from big cities

The best thing about UC Merced is that it's new, so we, the students, decide where it will go. We have many opportunities to do new things and to start new things, and someone usually takes them. My name is on two club constitutions, because I helped start them: something not many can say. The campus is also still small, which allows me to talk to professors face-to-face, and they are on the leading edge of technology and research. The school is changing me into what I will become, but I'm helping change it too.

great professors
