I looked at your previous posts. You were accepted at 4 California universities. You were not interested in the two Cal States, but you were deciding between UCR and Chapman.
Chapman was expensive even before Covid-19, and because of Covid-19, you were unable to visit UCR and heard bad things about its location. So that’s how you ended up choosing community college.
Nothing wrong with CC, but I have to tell you that UCR is so much better than you have been led to believe.
My oldest chose to go there even though she had financially viable higher ranked choices, including another UC campus. She graduated two years ago, and she had the best four years at UCR. Socially dead at weekends? I don’t think so. There are plenty of kids that live either on campus or in off campus apartments. The whole entire area around University Village is basically UCR students. It’s right next to campus, so you can just walk to campus too. The city of Riverside is not as fancy as San Diego or Westwood or other Southern California areas, but it’s perfectly fine, and rental prices are very affordable if you decide renting an off campus apartment after your freshman year. And, if you think you would like to attend, the SIR deadline this year has been extended until May 15th, so it’s still not too late!
