I am not a Merced skeptic. We visited and toured. We looked at it as a possibility. My child fell in love with, and was accepted to, another school so didn’t end up at UCM.
I don’t want to turn this thread into one discussing the pro and cons of UCM. I’ll direct you to a some recent posts on the UCM forum.
