<p>Hi all , this is just a quick warning to everyone that you need to seriously check the transfer rates of what ever UC you plan on going to . I say this as a Junior at UCR who is disillusioned with the lack of classes available for my major . The 4th and 5th year students get priority so it will take me another 2 years to graduate. </p>
<p>I'm planing on taking sometime off for at least a year, I dislike Riverside and theirs no way I'm spending another 2 years here .FYI I'm a humanities major, the sciences graduate faster in general The higher tier UC's don't have as much of a problem , so i advise everyone to look up how long it takes people to graduate from the school you want to attend . I would of never came out here if I knew this was the case .</p>
<p>I doubt that difficulty getting courses is unique to UCR in this budget climate.</p>
<p>Science majors tend to have an easier time getting courses because few students major in things like Physics and try to enroll in upper division classes, despite the fact that UCR has a strong national reputation in Physics and Astronomy.</p>
<p>Its more then the economy, this place has one of the lowest grad rates of any UC. Since kids stay here too long it messes it up for other students who need classes . Or well</p>
<p>^^ true. UCR’s graduation rate is around 60%, Whereas UCSC UCSB AND UCD have 70% and above graduation rates.</p>
<p>join the honors program, you get priority enrollment over everyone else in the school</p>
<p>Not everyone can get in the honors program,
I would of preferred not being admitted instead of being unable to graduate on time . I even planed to do summer school as a jump start, but christ , it would of cost me an extra 4k in loans- and I had a good paying job at the time . </p>
