Interact with the possibilities
There's so much to see and do here at UCR... and so many ways to explore our campus! In the EXPLORE section we have given you a few easy and fun ways to learn about UC Riverside from a virtual Viewbook to a student guided tour.
Online Viewbook
Check out our online Viewbook: "111 Facts: Cool Things Smart Students Should Know About UC Riverside." It's full of interesting, entertaining, and important information about UCR. From the origins of our Highlander mascot to the height of our Bell Tower to some interesting alumni careers and awards. (We have one Nobel Prize winner, one Pulitzer Prize winner, a poet laureate and one grad who started her own vodka label!)
50 Reasons Flash interactive
Beyond facts, we also give you reasons -- both serious and fun - why UC Riverside is an exciting place to learn. What's happening here will astonish you. So browse through the wonderful "50 Reasons to Learn with the Best" and find out where to find the world's largest collection of Science Fiction works and how many Starbucks are within 5 miles of campus!
Take a Tour
But to truly get a sense of the UCR experience, you really should come visit. Take a student-led Campus Tour! Your tour will be led by current students who know your concerns because they were in your shoes just a few short years ago. Feel free to ask them anything about student life, residence halls, academics, and the transition from high school to university life.
Meet with a Counselor
Got a question? Need some advice? Just give us a call or shoot us an email. We have an extraordinarily friendly and helpful team of Counselors in our Office of Undergraduate Recruitment. They can answer a quick question or find a time to meet with you and discuss your goals in more detail.
Resources for Parents
Parents are People Too! At UCR we know that parents are an important part of the college decision-making process. So we've devoted an entire section of MyUCR to interested parents who want to learn more about their student's lives here at UCR.
