UCR vs UC Merced

Personally I would go to UCM because it has a chance to be a good school despite its location. Who knows what will happen to it in the future? Riverside is already established as a second-rate UC school. UCM only has that rep. because it's new.

Ummm.... yeah... there's only 1 thing wrong with that mentality... UC Merced could end up lower than UC Riverside! Which means UC Merced will replace Riverside as the absolute bottom feeder(This is what I'm afraid of....).</p>
