Welcome to The College Tour!

Featuring 10 UC Riverside students sharing their stories, The College Tour is a streaming series focused on colleges and universities across the United States. For its 70th episode, the production crew visited UCR to capture what makes our campus so special.

We know it may not always be feasible to visit a campus in-person, so hopefully these 10 segments can give you a look into the life of current students and show you all the ways UCR supports students.
