University of California-Irvine Top Questions

I found that UC Irvine has been actively advocating and involving the school and students into a more sustainable lifestyle through transportation, lifestyles and infrastructures. Throughout the campus, bike lanes are painted across to allow students the accessibility to ride to class without riding on the road. Also, in recent years, a spurt in sustainable infrastructures such as solar paneled buildings, creating urban gardens on campus as well as professors support enviornmental responsibilites through educating students of smart cities across the nation and world.

University of California offers a great opporunity to learn about the field of Computer Science under its own college. One of the only UC schools to have its own Computer Science collge has been a huge benefit. There have dedicated professors and resources that have surpassed expectations and have reassured my decision to attend this University. The accessability to technology companies in the surrounding cities has also been a great plus. There are many opportunities to take what I am learning in school and use it to work with local tech companies to get real world experience.

UCIrvine is a school that values both academics and strong student campus involement. I like that the school has many clubs and organizations, and that the student body in general is very active. You'll find that people here value extracurriculars and social skills, as opposed to other schools that focus on pure academics. UCI is also located in a great location in Orange Country; it's an ideal central location if you have friends at UCR, UCSD, and UCLA.

My school is very grounded, down to earth. We have fun but we don't get too crazy. The people around here are just as eager to make new friends as you are which makes that process a whole lot easier.

This school had my specific undergraduate major.

My school is different to me from other schools in the amount of competition amongst students. One of the reasons I chose UC Irvine is because of its friendly environment. There seems to be almost no competition between students, and that is an aspect that really draws me in. Instead of worrying about whose grade is better than mine, I can focus on what really matters, myself. The atmosphere in the classroom allows me to concentrate on improving my grade but at the same time lend out a helping hand to my peers when asked.

My school has a unique diversity and is very accepting of everyone. Also the campus is unique, with a huge park in the middle of it all.

They have a environmental program and a criminology program in the same branch.

UCI feels like a college campus. Other schools that I considered did not feel like a college campus, they felt bare and cold. UCI is a tight-knit community, as a UC we tend to have the same views and stand up for each other. Also, the campus itself is very easy to get from point A to point B and it is always beautliful to look at.

UC Irvine has a beautiful campus with close to perfect weather year round! Walking to class, you can't help to be in a joyful mood due to the great campus atmosphere. My personal favorite part of campus in the 30 acre park we have right in the middle of campus, it's absolutely beautiful! Not to mention all the professors that I've had the plessure to meet are without a doubt some of the most knowledgeable and interesting people I've ever met. Choosing to continue my education has been the best decision of my life.
