University of California-Irvine Top Questions

lot of asians, but its not too bad (most are quiet as hell)

I say totally untrue, while we do have a larger amount of commuter students than other UC's that doesn't mean that the rest of the student population doesn't stick around and even the communter students don't want to go home at the end of the day, they would rather hang in the Vine. As for the diversity, our campus is hugely diverse, with different types of people who each have their own uniquie view of the world around them. College is a time when you open your mind to new people and experiences UC Irvine definetly offers that

These are somewhat close. UCI is kind of dead on weekends, and there are a lot of Asian people, but at the same time, the percentage is a little less than 45{4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c} Asian American, and a lot of the Asian people keep to themselves, so if you're out socializing and doing stuff, you won't really run into some of the more studious types.

Yeah there are lots of Asians, but that doesn't mean too much (except that you have a lot dedicated science majors to compete with). Irvine is an amazing place 22 minutes from Disney Land, 40 minutes from LA, 10 mninutes from Newport. There are actually a lot of cool little ice-cream, drink shops, and resturaunts. Irvine itself isn't so hip, but the world is at your finger tips. Having a car does help but so many people have cars and they have this mega cheap rent a car program and newport shuttles and stuff. Parties! There are plenty. One thing though is that at UCI "the party is not knocking on your door" as I always say. Meaning there is rarely noise problems or conduct violations. If you want to go a party the frats will bus you to the clubs they rent out. It's all amazingly fun. At UCI there's always a place to study or participate in innocent fun, and there's always a billion parties to hit up, plus there is LA just up the freeway.

fairly.....yes

soemtimes

mostly. but you can break the mold and you can seek out and enjoy your time there. a lot of people do find it an interesting place to go to school because they know nothing else. but i've been to other places, and uci is lacking in a lot of colliegate experiences.

yes.

To a certain extent. There sure are a lot of Asians (although the proportion is decreasing every year) and most people here didn't get into UCLA.

No. There are a lot of Asians, but there is a lot of every kind of person.
