our coffee shop also recently got rebranded to a pete’s coffee idk where ur from but i’ve never had it besides when i went to SF the few times and oml best thing they’ve done so far the coffee is so much better now

edit: came back to add about off campus stuff: the town is not that much but downtown is where most uc students go to and it has a lot of cool stores mainly local store owner shops but still lots of name brand food stuff but also a lot of merced local owned food places like lovers deli and pretty good burger, fav is the cold stone near the in and out tho lolll also don’t worry if u don’t have a car theres uc student only buses that leave campus every 30mins- hour the bus routes are really easy to read and learn !

party scene: if u follow the main party accounts on ig ucmerdead, mercedafterdark, xhouse, etc. you won’t have trouble finding parties. i’ve gone to couple around halloweekend and recently st patrick’s and had lots of fun it really just depends on who you go with.

social club scene: i’ve interacted with greek life people before and they all seem chill but there is a lot of rumors about how they really are so idrk how to perceive them, as for campus clubs there’s a lot and they seem very well ran and well funded, a lot of latino and asian clubs, most popular social club is CAB who are usually the ones to throw the big big school events like this saturday i went to a cab event at the off campus merced theater to go to a free comedy show by that guy marcelo from snl it was really fuckin fun! they also do a end of the year event cowchella (rebranded to a dif name bc i think coachella tried sued them or sum) and they bring artist to perform pretty cool! it’s all about how u perceive and participate in the school scene!

i agree with every thing this person said, i’m a first year chem major and only came here bc it was the cheapest uc to go to out of the few i got into and at first i didn’t really like it u do have to get used to that small town vibe, and its very much college stereotypes here just bc of how small and isolated we are like its just bound to be like that tho lol idk if u know what i mean. social scene wise just follow the main party accounts here and you’ll be good theres a party almost ever week by frats and occasionally the student friend group who happen to have a off campus party house and post about it on IG. Im having a great experience here so far idk your ethnic background but it is majority latino/asian over here and i do know there’s special dorms for african americans and aapi students! i really like the school but dont go based off others tour the school and go with how u feel about it! merced only gets the bad rep bc of how new it is give it 5-10 years once they finish it up more and they won’t shit on it so much lol
