The diverisity is something that can be said about our school. We are the most diverse school in the UC system and top-ranked in the nation. While there may not be necessarily things to do on the weekends, the surrounds cities heavily make-up for that

I think the fact that UC Riverside is an intimate diverse community is what seperated it from other schools I looked into. It made me feel more welcoming and comfortable. I felt a very good vibe when I got a tour around school. The school did not make me feel intimidated and helped me transition from high school to college immensely. I love how everyone tends to know each other through someone and gives you the feeling of familiarity which makes me feel like I have a second family here.

UCR is very diverse, and accepting of any person with a unique background.

My school is ranked as one of the most diverse schools in the nation. I feel that this diversity in a university is what makes it so great. Attending such a diverse school has allowed me to learn more about other cultures and ethnicities that I had little personal experience with.

The school is medium-sized so most of the classes are smaller. There are many opportunities available for research and professors are very welcoming. Many programs exist for students to form connections with one another.

UC Riverside is a very diverse school. As a student, one gets to interact with other students who come from completely different cultures and backgrounds, it helps students learn about a culture that is not their own. The tolerance for other people's background is high. UC Riverside is also a very social school in which it is fairly easy to make friends and and put together study groups for your classes.

UCR is a very welcoming school, with cheerful people, both students and staff alike. It makes the transition from high school to college life very smooth, and does indeed make you feel as if you are "at home in the world." UCR is a very diverse campus, which lets a student grow both socially and academically in a culturally broad environment.
