<p>i believe the planned high speed rail station for riverside will be right on campus…so if you have money to spare, so you can go shopping in san francisco for a day and return the same night with limited hassle</p>
<p>just a thought</p>
<p>That is so far in the future it’s really not a viable point. Maybe for students in 15 years or so that would be nice, but anyone here would be out by then. The bullet train is going to take a decade at least. It needs to get signed off by the environmentalists, then costs, and construction. I know it’s probably going to cost about twice what it was predicted to and that doesn’t help considering Cali is broke. Maybe Obama will chip in, but the bullet train is a train of tomorrow, not today.</p>
<p>ya but the prospect of having an on campus HSR station seems decidedly cool</p>
<p>I voted yes on 1 last November, the budget crisis didn’t seem nearly as bad then. Regardless, it won’t get built for years so this shouldn’t influence your college decision unless you’re 4 years old.</p>
<p>So people should choose UCR because at some distant time after their possible graduation date the school will have a train at its doorstep? Yeesh.</p>
<p>I wonder why they chose Riverside of all places.</p>
