World-class academics, amazing faculty, high-tech labs and classrooms, and a truly private-school feeling on campus. Plus, it's growing like crazy!

I am currently a high schooler and I went to UC Merced on a field trip, it was very pretty and clean, small but a lovely community .

The campus itself is really quite pleasant. So much is new, though, that the trees haven't had time to grow in, and can be a little stark.

GRADUATION CEREMONY: Beware of crap security! You cannot bring umbrellas inside the ceremony. They only have floor seats. Security told me I could put my umbrella aside at the entrance of the gate and I could retrieve it after the ceremony. I exited the ceremony before it even ended to get my umbrella and they threw it away. Security is a piece of crap for lying and throwing my item away.

Beautiful campus and very friendly staff. Teachers are amazing and my son is thriving. We made a great choice, and never second guessed our decision. Caring community of students and faculty it shows in their spirit throughout the campus. WOW what an amazing campus, so modern and impressive classroom facilities. Dorms are so modern and new feeling throughout your stay. Very close to Yosemite and a wonderful lake nearby. Safe campus feeling of leaving my son in good hands. Thank you UCM for providing this opportunity and excellent education for all your students. I highly recommend your school!!
