In retrospect, I feel that my law schoolOther
In retrospect, I feel that my law school experience was disappointing. I attended a glorified trade school. The professors were mostly unhelpful and/or unapproachable. Class discussion was not stimulating and many professors were just plain whacked out. My life has gone well, but I attribute very little of my success to UC. If I had it to do over again, I would have gone elsewhere.

AS a UC Alumni I do not recommend this college. If you want to learn and not waste all your money, go somewhere else!

Question
Let me just say coming in I reallyBrightBiology
Let me just say coming in I really gave this university a chance, but I ended up transferring because I hated it so much. The faculty is very unhelpful. Expect many of your classes to be huge, especially going in as an undecided major or a science major.

My adviser was also unhelpful as he didn't seem to care about classes I actually wanted to take. He acted as if I was a number. Many professors are foreign , which I don't have a problem with, as long as they can speak English correctly. At one math class I was in, I noticed my professor had misspelled words on the board and many of us couldn't even understand what he was talking about.

The food here is terrible, especially at Marketpointe. Sometimes bugs can be found in the food there. If you are going to UC, expect to be served the same things day in and day out. There are often long lines in waiting for the food. However, there are some great restaurants around. There is a Chipotle, an Arbys, and there are many Chinese and Indian restaurants around the university. There is also a Kroger nearby within walking distance in case you want actual groceries.

Many buildings on the campus are falling apart. Inside Zimmer, when it rains, sometimes it leaks inside and there are puddles everywhere. The dorm rooms are tiny, which is to be expected at many universities, but the conditions are terrible in them. Paint is peeling off of the walls in some rooms and the air conditioning is terrible. The bathrooms are disgusting and also are falling apart. They are not cleaned everyday and there are puddles everywhere where you can slip and fall. UC works for some people and doesn't for others. However, I would definitely not recommend coming here. I'm glad I transferred.
