you definitely want to try to request a double room. the triples cost less, but they are the exact same size as the double so it gets a little cramped…
The dorm rooms are small and crowded. And they force you to eat the disgusting Dining Commons food (which is low quality and unsanitary). That is the only place…
It's much easier to get to class if you live on-campus, but it's a very big problem if you want to get to town. The hardest thing I went through…
The dorms are themselves are fine, they're clean but they don't provide a lot of space for the amount of people which are supposed to be living in them. …
I am a 2nd year student and love living on campus. First year I was in a 2 person room in a dorm building. All Freshman live in…
There are various food options. You are responsible for making your menu so don't complain when tired of the food when you always get the same thing.
Read MoreAll eating areas and kitchens are new and clean and easily accessible.
Read MoreThe cafeteria is big and the foods amazing. For many different diets.
Read MoreThe dining commons food gets boring, but once the food trucks come in you have more options throughout the day!
Read MoreThe food is okay. It can get a bit pricey sometimes, but that is not a major issue.
Read MoreThe food provided by the school gets boring after a while. The DC (dining commons) is small and has limited hours. Weekdays you have he option between pizza, burgers, asian, and mexican. Weekends you have burgers and pizza. There is also a salad bar and sandwich bar where you can create and customize your dishes. One thing the school does have is food carts. During the weekdays the school has restaurants from the city come in and set up carts towards the back of the campus that sells different foods. However the carts are only there during lunch time for a couple hours. The school itself also has food carts stationed around where you can grab a drink or snack. Located in the library is a caf�?�© like station where you can order food and drinks including coffee and is open during library hours.
Read MoreThe first few weeks I was amazed by all the choices the dining center offered. Now, I know what to expect when I get there. I feel like I'm out of choices and stuck with eating the same old things. I miss homemade food!!! I want variation in my food. But then again, I depend on them having french toast every Saturday for brunch because that's the only day they serve it and they taste heavenly.
Read MoreI don't see why everyone's complaining about the food here. It's amazing what kinds of food are featured in our dining center. It's worth it because it beats cooking for yourself since you are in dorms.
Read MoreThe food at UC Merced is something that, while acceptable, could use improvement. While the hours of the dining center seem to be something that everyone has an issue with, the quality of the food should be improved before looking into extending the hours. Some foods at the dining center are of good quality; however others simply taste like typical cafeteria food. While there are few items in the dining center that I refuse to even try, there is a large variety of options to choose from. Even with these options however, at times it seems as if you are eating the same thing day after day, because nothing else seems appetizing. It is an option for students to submit ideas of dishes for the dining center to have- however I feel students are not aware of this option; if they were then there is potential for additional options and variety to be added to the menus in the dining center. Overall, the food somewhat what would be expected out of a high school cafeteria- some options are good while others, not so much.

Read MoreThe Greek Life is very active! They are constantly hosting events such as parties or selling food. While some of the parties do have alcohol (these are typically for upperclassmen 21+) a lot of the contain no alcohol and are simply there for people to go dancing and have a great time.
Read MoreWe are a young campus so the Greek Life is building. We have most of the major Frats. I am a founding member of Phi Alpha Delta and belong to Kappa Sigma as well.
Read MoreThere are plenty of sororities and fraternities. I haven't looked into them a lot but if you contact the student services on campus they can probably give you more information, but there is a festival in which they come out and give you information themselves.
Read MoreI have met some of the greatest people through greek life. With Alpha Phi Omega and Delta Epsilon Mu, my time in Merced has definitely changed. I have become more involved in school and in the community.
Read More4 sororities 4 fraternities multiple professionals
