Understanding the differences and nuisances to each UCR residence hall can be difficult.The choice of res hall is entirely up to personality and preference. That being said it’s good to learn the atmosphere and environment of each location. In the spirit of the twitter phenomenon “The Bachelor” I encourage incoming highlanders to take this mini quiz to help determine their match.
