Students Find Inspiration, Success at UC Merced
Coming out of high school in San Jose, Josh Ren found himself with limited options for college. He wasn't sold on UC Merced at first, but eventually jumped at the opportunity to attend a University of California campus.
And now?
"I would definitely recommend it, especially to first-generation students," said Ren, 20, who is in his second year at UC Merced. "They offer great financial aid and have more resources compared to other schools."
