Will UC Merced have anything interesting by the year 2050 like a botanical garden? Also, will the city of Merced become super safe and become a college town?
?
Those are questions that are out of place in a forum about college discussion, not future intercity endeavors. If you want to know, look up future projects on Merced and/or UCM itself. Considering some of the UCs were once surrounded by nothing like UCM is at its current state, perhaps it might also transform itself? UCM is only 12 years old.
