The University of California Riverside: Keira Gbur, a Current AVID Student, Reflects on Her Experience.


The University of California, Riverside

by Keira Gbur




When my AVID class visited the University of California, Riverside, the first place we visited was the library.  There were so many books and little individual study areas. When we were walking around on campus, we stopped by a large classroom the size of a movie theater.  The class did not start yet but students were getting seated and preparing for class. My tour guide told me that you are supposed to read the book on your own and then the professor will talk about it in class.  Because there are so many kids, if you need to speak to your professor privately you can speak to them in their office during their office hours.

College Atmosphere

The college atmosphere was very professional and everybody was acting like mature adults.  People did not really socialize on their way to class and had their earbuds in. People either walked, rode scooters, or skateboards around campus.  During lunchtime, more people talked and hung out with their friends. There were students skateboarding and doing homework/studying. There was even a gym where students can rock climb and workout.
