UC Riverside for engineering and in general?

They just sent me an acceptance for mech engineering even though I didn't apply so I want to know more the engineering program and also other pluses and minuses about the campus and surrounding area.

I was already planning to go to cal poly slo, but the acceptance made me want to take a serious look at UCR to see if I would want to go to UCR instead. In either case I plan to major in bio/biomedical engineering.

    Hey - first congrats on the acceptance! If they sent it by mistake - you're sure they DO want you, right?

    At any rate, my understanding is that, in the bio / biomed area, Cal Poly has a bigger reputation than UC Riverside, but that doesn't necessarily mean anything. You might get more attention, more research opportunities, etc. at a smaller program, especially if it's looking to grow through the achievements of its students/alumni.

    Hope this helps!

    you will prefer to pass to a 4 3 hundred and sixty 5 days college. you're proper suited that transferring will teach you the thank you to little time to get your wanted classes. Going to a UC all 4 years is optimum yet going to a Cal Poly is easily darn solid too as they're the utmost rated CS colleges and as solid as decrease rated united stateslike Merced. additionally evaluate UCI for medical college.
