<p>What's the social life generally like at UCR? And I heard it's empty on weekends because everybody hits the beaches or something...?</p>
<p>heard its empty because its a commuter school.</p>
<p>yeah its usually empty because riverside is a suburb of LA. Its location puts it close to every thing to</p>
<p>its passable… i heard its not that desolate like commuter schools</p>
<p>I talked to some of the students there; They said that it really depends on your friends. If your friends leave campus a lot, then it seems so. From what they told me, it’s not desolate on the weekends. Or atleast anymore.</p>
<p>Your social life depends on you. Yes, many people do leave on weekends, but there are hella orgs you can join to keep you busy everyday of the week. There are lots of social/academic/service fraternities/sororities you can join, as well as lots of clubs that cater to almost any interest.</p>
