I got accepted here as a transfer as well as other Ucs up in Northern California, yet when I visited the campus I did not feel welcomed. I just saw pure freshman students, I don't think this is an option for transfers especially when there is nothing to relate upon coming from a community college. Not to mention the transfer rate to Uc Merced is extremely low it's more of a straight out of high school atmosphere, with this being said I visited the library and asked for directions towards the visitor center at the help desk, the man was obnoxiously rude he just ignored me and said look it up online. Not meeting the expectations from these reviews that everyone/faculty at Uc Merced is so nice, etc. Lastly not to mention it is so hot there, even inside buildings with "ac", yikes.
