The stereotype of the UCI student is that he/she is a second-generation Asian-American that did well in high school but got rejected from UCLA. UCI stands for Under Construction Indefinitely or University of Chinese Immigrants.

The two biggest stereotypes are that UCI is dead on weekends and doesn't know how to party and that there are way too many Asian people here, which results in the nickname "University of Chinese Immigrants."

That everyone is Asian and that is there absolutely no fun to be had. There are no parties, there are only big lecture classes. That living in Irvine is the biggest drag ever.

UCI students are viewed as being stereotypically Asian- with riced-out Acuras and Hondas, minimal social life, as well as the latest technology to digitally and wirelessly connect them to the most recent blog news.
