Students that are motivated to learn more about their interests are always welcome at the University of California, Irvine. The environment can also appeal to the students that enjoy a very calming and peaceful campus. The majority of the students are very friendly and it's a nice place to socialize through classes, clubs, or campus events. The university is for the students that want to work hard to pursue their passion and to connect with many amazing people.

Someone who is looking for well balanced student academics and extracurricular activities. Someone who is looking to have fun during their college experience, but also get a degree from a good university.

Beatrice

A person that's eager to learn, ready to work, and excited to meet new people. Collge can be stressful so what better way to alleviate that stress than by going through it with freisnds?

Haley

This is actually a really hard question to answer. UCI is a very diverse school already, and I don't think that anyone should change that. All of the majors at UCI are amazing, but I think that some majors are a lot easier than others. It's hard to be a bio major with drama major friends who don't do as much work, but I do think that students at UCI need to be passionate about their major, really want to learn more, and succeed to the greatest extent. That's who should go here.

Christopher

Well there are a variety of people who come to school with their own behavior. Personally, it should be someone who is accepting of others. Someone who is interested in research opportunties and graduate school more than getting a job after graduation. So it should be someone interested in the sciences or social ecology. Also, even though we were told it was not a party school, I feel that it is untrue. the fraternities and sororities there are highly active, especially in recruitment. So if you're interested in parties, then UCI has those too.

University of California, Irvine accepts a wide range of applicants each year. It doesn't matter about the race and the school has chosen students with a wide variety of GPAs. I believe the kind of person that should attend this school or any other school is someone who is willing to learn and make the most out of their college experience. College is a place of education, what's the point of partying all day and wasting our tuition away. Anyone can attend this school if they are willing to make the most out of their education.

Kayleen

Someone who loves trees will love this school. There are tons of trees on campus, and I really like all of the greenery in Aldrich Park. All of my professors so far have been funny and more than willing to help if you demonstrate need for it. You need to be very self-motivated, and if you need help seek it out. There are plenty of resources out there for you, but you won't be spoon fed. The quarter system goes by pretty fast, so you need to be organized and stay on top of studying.

Jessica

If you are a motivated student, who works hard being very dedicated to your school work, and doesn't give up until reaching your goals, UCI is the school for you.

Christopher

A person who is on top of his or her studies, tolerant of other peoples' backgrounds, willingness to try new things, and has an open mind. If not this type of person, then it should be someone who is in the process of developing his or her identity, in the process of understanding lectures versus memorization, and in the process of getting the feel of the real world. In the end, it should be someone who has a good high school GPA based on the amount of his or her effort rather than relying on extra credit or a curve.

Randi

A person who attends UC Irvine has to be diligent in their studies, but also ready to have fun.

Alexis

RESEARCH OR SCIENCE FOCUS

John

Person that is academically focused with a set career path, able to manage between jobs, extracurricular activities and school. Must be able to drive a car to get to places outside of Irvine. Must be open minded about the diverse cultures on campus, and be able to find clubs and organizations through any posters, flyers, online posts, etc.

Celene

I believe that there is not a “right” kind of person that should attend the university. However there are qualities that are crucial that a person needs to make the best of their college life. One of them is self motivation, the fact that the school is in a quarter system means that there is no time to fall behind in the classes. The person needs to know their priorities, but also engage in the campus life by attending events or become part of organizations.

Jacky

A person that should attend this school is someone who is looking to go into the medical field. UCI has a great Biology and Chemistry department. The Bio and Chem teachers are very helpful and informative. They also try anyway to help you learn the material. Personally, I had a great experience with the Bio and Chem department and I learned a lot. Professor Bringley was the first Chem professor I had in college and her lectures are very help.

Ashley

I believe UCI is a school for students who have a thirst for knowledge. Who aren't afraid to go beyond what's printed in their textbooks.This campus isn't known for its parties,but is very balanced when it comes to academics and a social life. Those in search of a challenge, a thirst for knowledge,and curosity like a cat...becoming an Anteater is perfect for you!

Carlos

Anyone interested in the sciences should definitely pursue an education at the University of California Irvine. There are a variety of strong majors at UCI, but sciences of various types reign supreme for the school. Business is competitive, but effective, and the humanities are strong for those serious of their artistic passion.

Omar

Any person that has an interest in pursuing a degree as well as someone who meets the requirements of this school.

Ka

Excluding the fact that each person who applies to the University of California-Irvine needs to satisfy the basic college requirement, like obtaining a high school diploma, I believe any person can attend this college. College is the best learning environment where anyone can change according to his or her experience. Because University of California-Irvine is a college that encourage students to pursue a friendly environment and work closely with others, those who attend this college will change their personalities and open themselves to fit into the community.
