I'm rather short breathed after a 2 mile ride to work on my bike. But then I'm a damn overweight, love to eat 1lb porterhouse steak person anways.

Well it's what you make of the experience, right?

My high school experience would have sucked if it weren't for my friends. Four years later and they'll still be with me (a few are at ucr too). Anyways, heard they have a good track team :) I need something to keep me from gaining 20 pounds in the first year.

Let's hope this optimism keeps up. (plus, nothing can be worse than hs, blech)

I used to live in Sun City, right outside of Riverside. I really liked the area, but then again, I realy only saw the area in and around March ARB, so I don't know :p

True. That would explain why I spend as little time as possible on campus.

I was lurking until someone mentioned my name grr.
I havent visit any other campus but I can say Riverside seems OK. Ive been thinking of transfering to UCI or maybe UCSD, but I guess I'm so use to Riverside and I dont want to start over. The lecture is pretty bad. Especially with foreign TA trying to explain science lab. Half of the time, I cant really understand what they are trying to say. My organic chemistry teacher was so bad, I stop going to lecture and study on my own.

One good reason to go to Riverside is I heard UCR's Bio and Biomed program is really good. I've talk to few people who have graduated from UCR and go on to medical school at USC, they said if you can graduate from UCR, the rest are easy. Hope they are right.

Anyway, good luck with ur decision.

I go to UCSB and i have to say it is an alright school. I'm soo sick of this school though, maybe because i'm a Junior and i wanna graduate and go home? Gawd, i'm soo sick of this placE!

I don't know. Maybe it is because i'm Asian and there aren't that many pretty asian girls around to keep me "ENTERTAINED?"

The white girls here are "WHORED" out, "SEXED" out, and "BEAT." Man, the white girls here are decent, but if you want some STD's, I don't recommend in touching them.

Only 1 more year and i'm out of this hell hole. Time to move on to my 2nd stage in life, going to Korea and teaching english there. I'll meet some fine korean gals there, unlike UNIVERSITY OF CASUAL SEX and B[EER.

FINAL THOUGHT: GO TO UCI for some hot AZN action or UCLA.

Please, don't highlight all the attractions in one sentence =)

The Mills doesn't count because it is about 20 min from Riverside.

I think I just need to get out more and meet some new girls... I havn't met any new girls this qr. now that I've thought about it... tsk tsk tsk jon (me)... where did ur mojo go.
