A rising UC with growing engineering and bio programs. recently has been ranked among the top 25 universities to attend in the nation. Is currently in the process of building their own medical school.
This UC also boasts the #1 entomology program in the nation. not bad for being called the former bottom feeder uc. UC Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara and Irvine have recently dropped status according to Newsweek
I go to ucr which used to be bad, but now we're better than uci so life is good.

The bottom feeder UC; it is often forced to take the
Even though it is only one of 2 UCs that has a business administration major (the other one being Cal),
Hell, even the bottom feeder CSUs (San Bernardino, etc.) can kick its ass.
It shouldn't even be in the UC system, not even CSU - it's best off as a tech school or community college.
Its graduates usually end up still trying to decide what to do with their lives after getting their degree.
Aww shit, my 2.0 GPA and SAT score of 400 got me rejected from Cal, UCLA and UCSD...... but hey, what's this? An acceptance letter from UCR????? SWEET!!! Hey wait a sec, I didn't even apply in the first place, WTF???? Screw this bullshit, I'm going to RCC instead.

University of California, Riverside. Called "UC-Rejected" by students who think that the other UC's are superior.
Man, I can't believe I didn't even get into UCR.

The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is one of the least prestigious schools within the prestigious UC system. As one of only two UCs with a business school it should in theory attract a large number of serious business students. In reality, the business degree acts as a catch-all for students who would otherwise be "undeclared" and/or those students who have no interest in business aside from "making my millionz".
Riverside itself is seedy and dangerous. I know only a very small handful of people who were not robbed at least once while living there...I was not one of those fortunate few. Crack whores (in the strictly literal sense) "work" up and down University Ave. less than half a mile from the campus. My own work as a pizza delivery driver exposed me and my co-workers to the ever present danger of armed robbery, gun-violence and gang-activity. That said, with the right perspective, this place offers a valuable opportunity for much of its student body to experience the "real world" in graduated steps, should they choose to do so. I can say from my own experience that it has had an incredible "humanizing" affect on my perception of the homeless and others living in horrible situations.
While the student body is largely apathetic (there is no school spirit as has been mentioned above but no one has bothered to ask whether or not school spirit is an admirable goal or merely a herd-mentality annoyance) there are plenty of very serious students and instructors. Several people have claimed that many instructors cannot speak English. A colleague of mine who is a Sociology lecturer of Chinese descent at UCR often finds that "cannot speak English" is on his student feedback forms despite the fact that he was born in New York, has spent his entire life in the US and speaks flawless English with no accent. I would also contest the notion that students graduating from UCR are bound to mediocrity. I am a graduate from UCR (if I have not already made that plainly obvious) who is currently pursuing his PhD at King's College, London on a full-ride scholarship.
My reason for writing this very loose "definition" is to, hopefully, spread a much more balanced assessment of UCR both as an institution of higher learning as well as a social environment for students. It may not be a great school for parties, but that was never my scene so I couldn't really comment much on that. There are some students who immerse themselves in the community and who generally find whatever it is that they're looking for. There is another class of students who race home every weekend and who treat their time at UCR as an extension of high school. Like anything else, a student can expect to get out of their time at UCR exactly what they put in. I know I got a whole helluva lot, and I’m sure many others have as well.
UCR, while not the most prestigious of UCs, is considered fairly prestigious overseas as it is only known as "part of the UC system"

Otherwise known as the University of California, Riverside; or the "last resort" UC. Many who go there are said to have had no other school options-- which is not quite true for ALL students per se, but close to factual for a large chunk of the attending.
Dorms are inhabited by mostly freshmen as second+ years run away from campus to apartments. Many go home for the weekend because the student body are "goddamn" "penises" and don't make better the situation they're in.
A UCR party will consist of:
1. Alcohol
2. Alcohol
3. Standing
4. A little music
5. People throwing up
The concept of "Drinking Game" seems to allude these students.
Notes about the campus:
During winter, the campus is actually fairly green *gasp*
