Despite being a university full of athlete-students, the student body all agreed to invest in a science research library instead of a football team. The school still provides other sports in their athletic department and there are many intramural activities for students to participate in. By investing in this library, UCI students displayed their desire to pursue their academics.

There are so many different clubs on campus that there has to be one a person can enjoy. If not, it's pretty easy to start a new club or organization. Also, the anteater, our mascot is very unique. The alumni association for UCI had a giant anteater in the Santa Ana zoo name Petey in honor of our mascot, Peter the Anteater.

UCI is a research school, so yes there is more homework but it makes you push that much harder to graduate. One benefit is that the entire campus has Wi-Fi so you can pick a spot you find comfortable or pleasing and do homework. There are an abundance of places to choose from so you never have to pick the same place twice. It's convenient when you need to be alone to get work done.

One of the best thing about UCI are all the clubs and people in them. Everyone wants you to join their club and learn more about their lifestyle, which makes it really easy to make outgoing and adventurous friends.

My school is different from most schools. Many people may say that, but I actually believe it. The diversity here is an immense aspect of the university that appeals to people all around. I have friends from races that were scarce in high school. There are cultural clubs for virtually every cultural group out there; a place where students can relate with those more similar to them. Even without joining one, the people here are so adapted to different races that they find it easy to talk to everyone. We are all inherently related, with a common desire: to prosper.

UC Irvine is unique in the fact that it is a beautiful campus that is located on the border of Irvine and Newport Beach. We have a giant circular park in the middle of our campus that allows a quiet and relaxing escape to students. We have beautiful weather year round and we have a great environment for all students to enjoy. There are also many places that people can go to get away, such as restaurants, beaches, and shopping centers.

What's unique about my school is the layout and structure of the campus. Most of the other schools I considered had fairly complex and rather spread out buildings that made me intimidated about how I would find my classes or even make it on time. The center, or core, of UC Irvine is a huge, and beautiful park called Aldrich Park which branches off to most classrooms and buildings, which made it easier for me to navigate to all my classes and get there just in time. Aldrich Park can't be found anywhere else!

I considered UCI because of it's beautiful campus and amazing weather of the city of Irvine. Also, it has a great psychology department which was a great advantage over other schools. Fortunately, I did not end up disappointed for I find myself liking this school more and more with every passing day.

UCI has a diverse set of campus organizations that almost fulfills every possible desire that students have. The classes are also fairly engaging and the Professors and TAs somewhat helpful. Though this isn't one of the best schools out there, it certainly gets the job done, and at times done with flying colors.

I was invited to the Campuswide Honors Program at the school, which was a major deciding factor for me.
Graciela
UC Irvine has an amazing park in the middle of the campus! You can always see rabbits and you are sure to fel the cool breeze that blows in every now and then. I love that about that school and I don't know of any other schools that have such a neat feature.

UC Irvine is a school that fosters academic excellence, prospective research, and learning beyond textbooks and tests. Professors are always eager to share their research and work with students, which gives them a unique and first-hand experience from people who are continuously finding new information each day.
Krystal
Our mascot is Peter the Anteater. Despite it being an odd choice for a mascot, we all love it. We all have Anteater pride!
Jessica
It is located in one of the safest cities in the US. Very peaceful and suburban, close to the beach, without the congestion of Los Angeles, but not too far from it either, with lots of opportunities for you to grow in whatever field you choose. Since it is a little more well-off, as a city, it has more resources to offer and help foster your growth and your impact would be more significant since there is less people. The city is very nice and clean, and the weather is perfect almost everyday.
Kevin
Super awesome friendly people in a dynamic and engaging community. Safe environment, easy to access resources, including neccessities, great food, clothes, etc. Irvine itself it a vert integrated organized suburban city, with a unique mix of creative youths and well established residents. Plenty of job and internships opportunities around here for all majors of different fields. Irvine is a perfect place, offering a strong academic foundation at its core but still have a relaxed and chill atmosphere, so students can be continuously challenged but also able to take it easy.
Vicki
We have the most unique and friendly mascot: the Anteater. Irvine is the 2nd safest city in Ameica. The city of Irvine is brand new and beautiful.

The intense academic environment and level of educational styles of teaching and learning required to obtain a Bachelors Degree.
Lisa
The form of my school is a circle. The road continues in a shape of a circle so you can never get lost. It's easy to get to your classes and there's a conveninetly located park in the center of the circle which makes the school more earthy-like. The park is beautiful and it provides a place where a person can breathe and be refreshed.
Yoshimi
There are many clubs and groups you can join.
