The environment is not very amusing, it is in the middle of no where, therefore there is not much to do.

I really enjoyed living here. I lived on-campus and it's as they say, if you can live on-campus, definitely make the effort to. It was the craziest year I've ever had in my life. I'll never forget the memories and friends I've made. In regards to the campus, it's really lovely. There's lots of space and things to look at. Merced is a small area and most people find it boring, but I think that having fun is what you make of it, because I obviously had a great time.
