<p>Thank you @socaltransfer14 for sharing your experience. I don’t want to go to UCR because it’s the only place I got in. I want to go there because I actually want to be there. And honestly I don’t think I’ll be happy living there for 4 years. I didn’t have an emotional attachment with the place. I don’t feel any excitement. I know living at home for 2 more years will suck but if it gets me somewhere better than it may be worth it. </p>
