University of California-Irvine Top Questions

I brag about the location of UCI to my friends; the beach is a fifteen minute drive from the school and so is Disneyland. Also, Irvine has been named the safest city in the entire United States so I don't feel any fear when going out at night.

It's gorgeous and the weather in this area is amazing!

safe environment, friendly, happy

I tell them mostly about how great the surrounding environment is: how clean it is, how crime-free it is, how beautiful the beaches (only 5-10 mins away) are, etc

The school is only 10 minutes from the beach, which is great because it is always sunny here. It rains maybe 3 times a year and the rest of the time everyone's in shorts. At the same time that everyone loves going to the beach everyone still knows how to buckle down and study when it's time and there's never too many distractions when you don't want them.

UCI is one of the best institutions I have attended. Academically it ranks to be the 41st best university in the nation. Academically is excellent and there are many opportunities to take advantage of like Greek Life and study aboard programs. I am privileged and thankful each day when I am on campus to have been accepted into one of the greatest school in the nation. It is the home of the anteaters and dear school to me. I am proud to be at the University of California, Irvine.

My School is the epicenter of life. From the many clubs available to the vast amount of stores around, Univeristy of California Irvine is one of the best schools in California. I thought I was stupid for choosing UCI over UCLA but boy... has this Univeristy proved me wrong!

UC Irvine is not known for many things but apparently there is a good medical program at my school. I do not know enough about it but I tell people the UCI is a good medical school.

I live by the beach!

The classes were so well prepared by the teachers and everything was always so easy to udnerstand. I felt like I learned out of every lecture and assignment done in every class. Teachers were very interactive and the campus faiclities were very nice and felt like home. The green areas at the school makes students feel so relaxed even during finals.

It's located in a really nice area. I love the view.

Biology program

I would brag about the science departments, as well as engineering. The arts departments feel like they're falling apart. I don't brag about much, as I'm trying to transfer.

The amazing men's volleyball team we have, my sorority, the amazing academic strength the school has.

How "green" the school is and how the circular shape of the campus is perfect from getting from one side of campus to the other between classes.

UCI is a distinguished school that I feel proud what I learn there. My GPA would not be the only indicator by how well I have learned anything but through the faculty and staff and the other students on campus, I feel I have matured and grown compared to when I first started attending UCI.

The campus is small and accessible, so you tend to see the same people every day. It's in a good neighborhood and is a good place to learn without needless distractions. Also, visiting the other Southern California UCs takes about 45 minutes to an hour, making it a centralized location. The campus is relatively new so there isn't as much school spirit compared to the larger UCs but everyone seems happy to attend the school. It is steadily rising in school rankings as well.

I don't know

My school was extremely generous with financial aid. UCI gave me a full scholarship, as well as extra money for books and some living expenses. As far as the academcis, I would recommend UC Irvine to anyone who is pursuing an English degree. The classes were small and informative. The professors were generous with their time and expertise. However, as an English major, prospective students can expect UCI courses to require much time for reading, writing, and researching.

The fact that we chose an extra library (the science library) over a football team.
