UOP, UC Merced, or UC Riverside?

<p>Well, sadly these are the college options I am left with. I am a bio major and I was wondering which of the three is the best college for me. I want a good school but I also want a good college experience. I'm actually really making my decision based on how good the city and area around it is, but I don't know those cities very well. What's your opinion on my options?</p>

<p>As a biology major be aware of the low paid job prospects at graduation. Consider the net price and debt levels of each choice.</p>

<p>

Unfortunately, I don’t think any of these schools have great surrounding areas. I would visit and decide which you like best.</p>

<p>Have you visited these schools?</p>

<p>What can you afford? Are you getting aid for these schools? If so, how much?</p>

<p>UCM is new and small, so you’d have a private school like experence which could be good.</p>

<p>UCR has a lot of new activity going on…lots of money being spent there on improvements. The area is “ok” but hot in summer.</p>

<p>My opinion about UOP is that it’s a rich kid’s school…overpriced.</p>
