<p>I tried to convince him to go to UCLA but he seems so sure that UCR is the place for him. In the end, he’s gotta do what he feels is right for himself.</p>
<p>tallkell, thats hella uncalled for lol…u dont know his friend or his reasonings.</p>
<p>I’ve been to Riverside, it’s not as bad as everybody portrays it. Get on the 215 and drive for 5 minutes and you’ve got Target/Best Buys/Costco/Walmart/In-N-Out/some mall with a bunch of stores/
bunch of resturants like tgifs/olive garden… etc…</p>
<p>10 minutes and you’ve got Tyler Mall.</p>
<p>downtown riverside might be a bit shady but so is LA you don’t see people baggin’ on UCLA for it?</p>
<p>Berkeley’s area is a piece of crap too.
Shyt, Davis doesn’t even have an area.
Santa Barbara is nice.
At Irvine. you drive to class. drive home. theres no point in having an area.
Merced - look at davis.
San Diego - is nice.
UCLA - westwood, sure it’s okay, but when you got class at 1 and you’ve got to leave at 11:30 just to be ten minutes late; might be a bit uncool.</p>
<p>berkeleyes area is hella nice…i hope ur not judging it based on telegraph…especially north berkeley/campus…its ‘not ghetto’…</p>
<p>I Got In Berk!!!</p>

<p>That description is exactly why I love Berkeley so much and hate places like riverside. You never have to drive anywhere, and there is always good, independent resturaunts, grocery stores, clothing stores, etc. It’s great.</p>

<p>Agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed, agreed.</p>
<p>yeapp…why would having a walmart,target, inandout be appealing? lol its so corperate and lacks character.</p>
<p>Place that has walmart is disgusting lol</p>
<p>I hate walmart!!</p>
<p>Anyone heard of the documentary film, “WAL-MART: The High Cost of Low Price???” My brother co-produced that film…:)</p>
<p>The place that has all of that stuff is Redlands, and Redlands suffers greatly for its proximity to Riverside and San Bernardino. Too bad – it would fit in quite well with cities in the OC.</p>
<p>Riverside IS that bad, anyway – your example just says things NEAR Riverside aren’t that bad. 
</p>
<p><em>hates on Riverside for having lived there</em> Though it’s not as bad as San Bernardino…</p>
<p>Congrats to everyone who got into CAL!</p>
<p>Did anyone get a provision to send in a transcript without spring grades located in the additional provsion section of the admission form for Berkeley?</p>
<p>I did. .</p>
<p>Tallkell–we have something in common!</p>
<p>Tallkell, tell your brother thanks for me. People really needed to know what Walmart does to communities. I wish more people would see that film.</p>
<p>we have something in common? we both hate walmart? lol</p>
<p>Thanks squarepeg…I wish more people would see the film too and become aware of what walmart is…not only is it embarrassing to be seen shopping in (not in the movie…just my opinion) but also that it is destructive to small businesses and communities. </p>
<p>WALMART SUCKS!!</p>
<p>“Immediately submit official transcript(s) from: UC SAN DIEGO, DIABLO VALLEY COLLEGE, CHABOR COLLEGE, NORTHGATE HS”</p>
<p>Does this mean I have to submit the transcripts for courses still in progress during spring? I hope this is not the provision you are talking about, Matt30.</p>
<p>“You must submit your final, official transcript(s), including your high school transcript, and any other required official documents, to our office by July 15, 2006. We will use these transcripts to verify the self-reported academic record that you submitted.”</p>
<p>“tallkell, thats hella uncalled for lol…u dont know his friend or his reasonings.”</p>
<p>ok, you’re right, ilovecalifornia, but it just seems like a bad choice in writing. Anyway…I did not mean to insult anyone, I just had a hard time grasping the fact someone would choose riverside over la…ya know?</p>
<p>There are two provisions, one without your current grades validating what you put on your application (it won’t show the courses in progress this semester) and another due July 15 with your spring grades recorded.</p>
