Tartan Soul is something you'll learn a lot here and something you will come to love. There is a Highlander in all of us!

UCR is best known for their incoming medical school. The medical school has raised its prestige over the past several years and now students from everywhere wish to attend UCR rather than avoiding it as people have done in the past.

Concerts! We have Block Party, the Heat, and Spring Splash. Other than that, we have frequent but small concerts at the Barn.

I think my favorite campus tradition would be the stress reliever the Chancellor provides during finals week. He brings puppies for all of the students to pet at the Belltower and passes out cookies in the middle of finals week to remind us that there are many happy simple things in life, and finals will be over soon.

Every quarter at the end of the quarter, the school's Taiko class has a performance in front of the arts building. You can hear the drums bouncing off of all of the buildings nearby and it feels like the sound will travel all the way across school. There is also the occasional bagpipe performance that goes on, which is never something one should want ot miss. We also have a lot of small concerts in one of the restaurants on campus. The open mic nights also, at the very least, provide quite a bit of entertainment when people are willing to go up on stage.

I love block party! my first time going The Cataracs and Big Sean performed. its a time when the school gets together and goes to a giant concert together, its normally pretty big and a fun time to make new friends since its in the beginning of the year

Most people refer to UCR as UC Rejects. However, after spending my first year here and second continuing year, I have found that statement to be false. UCR is a great campus, and the education is excellent. What it comes down to is your personal ability to study. Do not let what others refer to UCR as (UC Rejects), because it is actually a great school.

At UCR, the students are as diverse as California can get. It has exposed me to different cultures, races, personalities, talents, and as a result, I made many friends. As an honors student, I enjoy many privileges like having first dibs on classes when it comes to registering for the next quarter. Although not easy to remain an honors student, its rewards are endless. No matter what background you come from or what you want to become when you grow up, education is a permanent investment in one's life which is why it is paramount to utilize it.
