Why study in Riverside?

Riverside is a large Californian city located on the west coast of the USA. Named after its proximity to the Santa Ana River, Riverside is renowned for its majestic hotels, superb restaurants, and thriving arts scene.

The city is home to a diverse array of museums, historic landmarks, and beautiful boutique shops. In their spare time, students can cheer on the local sports teams, enjoy the dynamic nightlife, climb the region’s mountains, or watch the sunset from the city’s sandy beaches.

If you’re hoping to discover more places in America during your time abroad, you’ll find the major cities of Los Angeles, Long Beach, and San Diego closeby. Four international airports located within 70 miles allow students to return home or travel further afield with ease.

    Riverside is a really peaceful and beautiful city to live in but during the summer to the beginning of the fall season it can be super hot out there. I feel really welcome once i came to California, Riverside because everyone I met outside college and in college were really happy to opening up to share how living in Riverside is like. So facilities at Riverside are always there to help you with whatever issues you are having, and no matter how many times you call or ask them the same questions over and over, they are always pleased to answer them.

    The city I am studying in has multiple events always ongoing and different kinds of food. The community resources are also plentiful. The community library nearby offers many resources, even study rooms that are for reserve and chromebooks for rent. It has many medical facilities nearby as well, so access to medical care is easier. Because it is the city, it is not safe at night, especially because of the homeless population. However, it is manageable. There are multiple bars in the downtown area. I have not personally experienced multiple night time events, but they are available.

    The place I live in is super safe and I have buses near me and convenient shops around, the city is not far away from major tourist attractions, such as the beaches, LA city, Disneyland, etc. You can always find places to go in the weekend and summer/winter breaks.
