B.A. Business Economics - Batch of 2027
3.8
Eye opening and new experiences.
Tips: I initially had great fun when I got here as the campus environment is very happening and welcoming. The cost of tuition and living is quite expensive here and I had to take out a loan. You can do some asking around and see if there are any good scholarship or financial aid options both from your home country as well as the US. Professors expect you to be interactive and classes tend to move at a flow. Group projects tend to get a bit frustrating for me personally.

Learning to live in the unexpected.
Tips: I experienced a lot of growth and changes in myself after coming here. College for me has been a rewarding experience although the job market is very chaotic right now. Things are a lot more unpredictable than it have ever been but if you network here and take the help of your professors, you can possibly buy time.

Master of Financial Engineering - Batch of 2027

Beautiful campus with lots to do.
Tips: My first impression was that the campus is full of life and is filled with people from all over the world especially Indian students. The culture is vibrant, accepting yet competitive. Most on campus opportunities are research oriented or TA roles and the campus itself is quite safe at all hours. The cost of living especially rent can be quite high.

Full-Time MBA - Batch of 2026
3.8
Buzz filled campus vibe.
Tips: My first couple of months here were both overwhelming and chaotic as there is simply so much going on at all times on campus and the minute you get accustomed to your classes, the semester is over and you have to move on to the next. This university is much more expensive than other of its counterparts so better make the experience worth it if you plan on coming here. Involve yourself in research and projects as they look good later.

M.S in Computer Engineering - Batch of 2023

3.2
An average American university (Not top 50)
Tips: Scholarships are limited, you have to apply by yourself. There are a lot of international students so not much cultural shift. The course is okay and doable. Have to put in effort. The area is not such a great place. It's a college town but still, the rent is pretty high. Tuition is for 4 quarters 15 months and since it finishes early you can save on other cost. Faculty is good and all are from great universities. Teaching is also good and on par with the best universities.

3.6
Job market is a bit rough currently.
Tips: The studies in the university are at a satisfactory level. The research opportunities are relatively good. Students should start looking for accommodation early if they desire to stay near campus. Approach seniors in your desired course of study to enquire about how the course structure is. UCR follows the quarter system and not the semester system. So exams come and go quickly.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transport across the county is good. The bus transport is free for all UCR students and can easily be enrolled. There is also a metro system which connects Riverside to places all across the county like Los Angeles etc. The metro system is also free for all UCR students.
Dislikes (Internships): The internship market in general is not in a good state now. A lot of students from all over the United States are struggling to get internships. It is not particularly related to UCR and students should start searching early for internships. The job market might get better next year.

Good college to study and very good experience
Tips: UCR has a quarter based system. So it will be hectic and have to put in a lot of time every week. Getting TA jobs is relatively hard for Master Students but not impossible. MS students can get Reader jobs relatively easily. The people here are friendly and the professors are very approachable.

I'm pretty satisfied with the college
Tips: The college is a bit more inclined towards academia, where you will need to read a lot of research papers. Though it may not completely align with you if you are solely focused on getting a job, I feel being a master's student, this is one skill one should possess.

Quality faculty members with supportive staff.
Tips: The college is research oriented, so many professors give research paper reading and critique as assignments. Grading is easy as long you don't cheat and submit assignments on time. The college also supports the students a lot. The recreational center is huge and is a good place to chill. Also note that it is a quarter system, so some might feel it is hectic but to be honest, it is not, you just need to plan things.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is well-qualified and explain the concepts very well. They encourage research and projects. They are very flexible and open to extending deadlines. Professors do not mind having discussions and meeting people after class hours. We can even work on projects under professors.
Dislikes (Indian Food): No tasty vegetarian Indian food. I don't eat meat so I don't know about non-veg food, but from what I have heard it is better than vegetarian food. The food was bland and I felt it was made out of cold storage stuff, which we already have at home. It doesn't taste like food back in India even though Indians are running these restaurants.

Nice experience but too expensive
Tips: No part-time jobs are available except for teaching assistance and research assistants. I learned so much from my coursework but it is a little difficult to get scholarships. There are not many Indian restaurants so have to adapt to the culture here. You can get help from the university for groceries and basic needs.
