If you consider the overall qualifications for attending a University of California, attending the theoretical "lowest" is not a thing to be ashamed of. Right now the stereotype of not being able to attend another UC for various reasons may be accurate, the the school shows signs of growing quickly and creating an emphasis in the sciences. As it is, many students came to UC Merced because of proximity home, significant financial aid, and overall accessibility of research and professors. This is a rural town. It's never going to be intensely suburban or urban. Particularly as the school is on the outskirts of the town. But I say this for the town itself: there are at least 6 different fast food chain brands, and there is a Wal-Mart, Target, and a Barnes and Noble. That's more than I can say for UC Santa Cruz and UC Santa Barbara. Also, be honest-what are you going to college for? The town or the academics?
