<p>How are the apartments on campus?</p>

<p>I am looking into Bannockburn Village & Plaza Apartments and Stonehaven Student Apartments</p>

122

<p>Do you guys know what is the percentage rate for UCR grads finding a job within a few of graduating? My parents are worried if I attend UCR and graduate, it will be hard to find a job for my major (computer engineering) opposed to going to San Jose State (located in the middle of silicon valley). </p>

<p>Any help here?</p>

123

<p>@xAbre1200</p>

<p>I would imagine who you know will matter a lot more than where you got your degree.</p>

124

<p>Is environmental science good at UCR?</p>

125

<p>is discover day for bcoe worth going? And what do we get to do on the Discover day. i noticed that its 6 hours…</p>

126

<br>

<br>

<p>i dunno about environmental science but i read that environmental health engineering was ranked 5th in 2006</p>

127

<p>@tehlunatic: You don’t have to stay for the whole six hours, you could leave anytime you want. I left around 1 PM for the CHASS Discover Day. I didn’t stay for the whole time; it’s just a place for you to know a little more about your major and the college you’re in as well as other information you want to ask. (: There are booths that are specifically for the major you chose, and other booths about Housing, Honors program, etc. There are also campus tours and stuff (this is all based on what I saw at CHASS Discover Day) You’ll like it a lot…I know I did haha.</p>

128

<p>haha that sounds great. I was bit reluctant to make a reservation but now im feeling all up for it.
Im going for sure now :)</p>

129

<p>If i go into the environmental science department can i choose any submajor in there after 2 years?</p>

130

<p>is there any pictures of UCR available online? more specifically BCOE?</p>

131

<p>If they already received my housing payment, does that mean they processed my housing application too? It doesn’t show on my growl. </p>

<p>To those who already did their housing application, does your growl indicate that you did pay?</p>

132

<p>I’m not sure (because i’m an incoming freshmen too) but under billing –> Current activity it should show all your payments. At least, that’s what it did for me.</p>

<p>Also, is housing priority based on the payment, or the form, or both? =3</p>

133

<p>Did your current activity show your SIR payment too?</p>

<p>It only shows my housing payment. Also, there’s a contract that needs to be sign by your parents and faxed/mailed in. Just a heads up incase you didn’t know!</p>

<p>I paid and sent in my form the day after. I think right now is still pretty early. If money isn’t a problem, just do everything now. :)</p>

134

<p>^ My GROWL “current activity” page showed both my SIR payment and housing payment. </p>

<p>@jenuwin01: What contract is it that needs to be mailed in by our parents? I never saw such a contract before. ):</p>

135

<p>wait, what’s the SIR payment?</p>

136

<p>When you SIR’ed didn’t you have to pay 102 dollars? …er…registration fee?</p>

137

<p>hmm no fee showed up when i SIR’d… im confuzed</p>
