University of California-Irvine Top Questions

The area the school is based is amazing. It is located within short distance to the coast and the presence of many trees, parks, and hills makes it a very peaceful environme

Our mascot is an anteater. Im still not sure how I feel about this.

I always got the courses I needed and never had to worry about not getting enough units to graduate.

The size and geography of the campus.

diverse and beautiful campus

It has literary journalism, an amazing major run by a Pulitzer Prize winner.

UC Irvine is a great campus with wonderful students and faculty. Going to the University of California has made me become a more well rounded person. And I know that it is because of my undergraduate degree from this university that I was able to gain admission into the 6 out 6 graduate programs I applied for. GO EATERS!!

UCI is a great place to get an education and a great place to meet a few good people, but it is not a place to have a wild social life with hundreds of friends and parties every night.

Wayyyyyyyyy too many asian people who study way tooo much and go home way to much on the weekends so their moms could do their laundry and cook them their entire weeks meal. Not a real college experience if you ask me

This school needs let go of its academic restrictions and allow us to be a real college and have fun. We should have things around campus that stay open later than 11pm. We deserve a Frat Row, not party houses in Newport Beach 15 minutes away.

Girls, if you're giving the milk away for free nobody is going to want to take care of the cow. Guys, wrap your tools and quit thinking of yourselves as "one-night-stand-kind-of-guys."

You can make what ever you want out of your experience at UCI you need to network with the right people.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL and am soo happy I decided to come here.

Unless you are extreme (and I mean extreme) partier, you want to do a major not offered at UCI (which you'd be hard pressed to fine), or you just have to, have to be in Big City then come to UCI. Thee academics are here, the social life is here, the building blocks for happiness and your future is all here!

I forgot to mention Parking. It is a hassle and expensive. But you have to do it if you want to live off campus, and you do.

This is a good arena for people to share...andi hope to get to see my response and others soon. good luck!

UCI is amazing. The campus is gorgeous and the courses were fantastic. The surrounding beaches are great, but make sure that the City of Irvine is somewhere that you want to call home for four years. I highly recommend dorms during your first year - you'll make amazing friends.

UCI needs to get more involvement by the administration to wake up and smell the coffee and stop comparing us to the other UC campuses. We are a unique campus that has the potential to grow like no other. If they want more students to attend in the future there has to be work done.

I think UCI could use a football team. I think it has something to do with the city not wanting to let UCI have one again. The film department needs to focus more on production classes and less on theory. The students are getting very talented and are working together to create truly amazing work that can rival even the exponentially higher budgeted UCLA and USC films. Make friends with people that have better equipment and more money than you do. In my Junior year I decided to get into film and I bought a cheap camera to learn the ropes. By the middle of my senior year I was directing and producing a 15 min short film with about 15 actors and crew members using thousands of dollars worth of equipment I borrowed from friends. We won the audience award for best film. I've been making films ever since.

Bunnies!
