5 out of 5 Pandas
The crowds of starving students coming back to UCR after spring break are in for a pleasant culinary surprise, because the long wait times and mediocre selection of the PUB has been tossed into the dustbin of history. In its place: the new-and-improved place for hungry students everywhere, the PUB (Panda Union Building). Burritos by...
Much like encountering UFOs or talking animals, receiving a new television or a new car on a national talk show may seem like an unlikely experience delegated to blurry YouTube videos and urban legends of friends of friends’ sightings. But for third-year Sharon Bustamante, this experience became a reality when she was given exactly those things on the Feb....
Move aside people: The Dating Doctor is in town. At an ASPB-organized event on Mar. 4, David Coleman, aka the Dating Doctor, paid UC Riverside a house visit to share with its students his expertise on love, dating and everything in between.

It definitely has the atmosphere of a bar, so if you’re looking for a quaint cafe or a chill spot for lunch, this isn’t really your scene. This is a place for...
“We all have something to say. There is room para todos,” Erica Ocegueda says, smiling, the interest in her eyes encouraging the handful of people sitting with her to open up and tell their stories.

For two days last week, there was a line of students that stretched from Rivera Library all the way past the Bell Tower. What was it for? To enter a giant inflatable black, pink and orange castle.
