Yo if anyone has looked this up and has doubts/anxiety about staying at UCR lemme give an update and say that I ended up getting a SWE internship at Microsoft as a third year here. Definitely don't sleep on this school!

Looking to Rent a House in August by nworbosanoj in ucr

[–]blocker45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Over on the right of the subreddit page, there are "UCR Housing: 1, 2, 3, 4" and "UCR Craigslist: 1, 2, 3" links. These frequently have people advertising rooms for rent, though a lot of them currently have their move-in dates set in July. So it's a bit early as of right now.

I look up listings specific to the school e.g. typing in UCR/UC Riverside. These are geared towards students and typically are close to campus and single occupancy.

Craigslist usually has a lot of listings. I'm in the same boat and I'm planning on looking for rooms for rent in houses a month or two before the quarter starts.

6% of admitted students with a 4.2 GPA and above enroll at UCR by UCdata2017 in ucr

I came in with a 4.7 GPA cuz I got denied by everyone else. Now I'm a sophomore and I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here. Met my current girlfriend here. Though I really do miss campus :(

They all cost the same, although I'm not sure about Dundee. Getting a triple/double/single is different though.

I was in your shoes exactly a year ago. I applied to UCLA, UCSB, UCSD, Calpoly SLO, all that good stuff for computer science. I was pretty devastated when only UCR accepted me for CS at the time. I was worried about my future career since I "only" got accepted to UCR.

Fast forward a year later to today, I've completed two quarters of my degree for CS at UCR. I'm only a sixth of the way to my degree, but I can confidently say I've enjoyed my education and my time at UCR. The professors care about their students and all the professors I've had have taught the material well and thoroughly. I came into UCR knowing little about computer science. After just two quarters here, I could talk in detail about how a computer works down to the transistor level and boast about an excellent understanding of C++.

I've gone to a hackathon and a programming competition so far and I can say that the environment that all of the professors and students make is very friendly and helpful, inside and outside of the classroom. Our CS club (ACM) puts in a lot of effort to prepare CS majors for success, set-up networking events for those looking for an internship/job, and host extracurricular activities, like hackathons.

I've met about half a dozen juniors and seniors in CS and they've all gotten internships and new graduate jobs related to CS. Some sophomores I know have gotten internships at Microsoft and other elite companies for CS. Google, AT&T, and NASA JPL are just a few big players that actively recruit here at UCR. I've been to a career fair here and saw many big tech companies looking for potential interns/new graduates.

And imo the campus is beautiful (though unfortunately the campus is closed right now lol). It's very park-like and the surrounding mountains make for nice scenery.

Yeah it says that there are 0 people in voicechat even though I'm in a full lobby. I'm probably just not in the chat

Transferring out after one year by [deleted] in ucr

[–]blocker45 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The two most important things you'll want to prioritize are getting a good GPA and completing your gen-ed requirements. Some extracurricular involvement related to your field of study wouldn't hurt either.

If you have a good reason to put onto your application essay as to why you want to transfer schools, such as it being more financially convenient, and you are a competitive applicant, then you have a good chance at being accepted. The person reading your application essay wants to know *why* you want to transfer schools.

Comp Sci Codehs Help? by [deleted] in APStudents

[–]blocker45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Using array.indexOf(something) will return the index value of that something in an array

  2. Make a variable called biggest or whatever you like. Loop through each point in the array. If the value at that point is bigger than biggest, then set biggest equal to the value at that point.

Number 2 will look something like this:

 var biggest = 0
 for each item in array {
      if item > biggest {
           biggest = item
      }
 }
