UNDERCOVER BOSS GIVES A GREAT COLLEGE TOUR OF UC RIVERSIDE ON ITS SEASON FINALE

The other night on the CBS hit show, UNDERCOVER BOSS--  the boss, Tim "Pete" White,  is the Chancellor of The University of California, Riverside campus.  It was one of the better episodes I watched, and what was the best part of it was that the show gave you a genuine feel for what the campus is really like.  As a consultant I tour the country visiting schools and seeing what they really are like, and this was as true as it gets.

Many times, when students tour college campuses via the internet --  they see a distorted view of what the college really is like.  It is with the aid of a the school's marketing department and admissions offices that they are able to shine so bright and present themselves in such a light  that students flock and  feel encouraged to apply.  To the contrary of this idea,  this show presented a very real view of the college, and the stories of the students who attend the school. 

If you are considering applying to a  UC school, you won't want to miss the re-run of this episode-- and hopefully it will run yet a third time. This show gives you a very real perspective of the campus.  Of course, while a college consultant can assist you in not only looking at the school with a different view point, they  can assist you in getting the financial aid submission correct so you are not scrambling to find the money AFTER you are accepted.

The UC system is the largest university in the United States with 10 campuses, 9undergraduate/graduate and one graduate.  These campuses include the grrandfather of them all, UC Berkeley  (aka Cal),  followed by UCLA, UC San Diego, UC Riverside, UC Irvine, UC Santa Barbara, UC Santa Cruz, UC Merced, UC Davis, and the only graduate campus, UC San Francisco. These campuses cost from $35,000 for in state students to $ 60,000 for out of state and foreign students.   All of the UC schools rank consistently in the top 100 of universities across America each year and the potential for high paying jobs after those years are priceless.  While each campus is similar to the next, each campus has its own and distinctive personality.
