<p>I went to UCR back in the late nineties, and even back then people were complaining. Actually, I chose UCR because back then it was a smaller campus, close to home, and I liked the vibe when I visited the campus. If people complain they are bored, I usually pay them little heed because I find what they have to say is boring as well. I prefer to surround myself with people who immerse themselves in their course work, and who read stimulating material. It is not a college or restaurant’s job to entertain anyone, and people need to realize that is not what school is about. I am not saying your should not participate in extra-curricular activities, but I was focused on graduating in four years and working at the time. I belonged to a few academic honor societies which I preferred anyway.</p>
