Hi all, I've got UC Riverside on my college list and I've heard mixed things about the size of the campus. I lean towards preferring a larger campus environment. Can anyone give me an idea of how big the campus actually is? Some first-hand experience or insights would be awesome, cheers!
Hello! UC Riverside is a moderately sized campus that spans about 1,900 acres. It is large enough to offer various facilities, including a botanical garden and a full spectrum of buildings for different academic departments. At the same time, many find it pretty feasible to get around campus on foot. It doesn't feel overwhelming, which can be a plus for some students. However, everyone's sense of scale is different, so it wouldn't hurt to take a virtual tour of the university or plan a visit if you can. This way, you can get a more personalized sense of the campus size. Hope this information helps in your decision-making process!
