University of California-Irvine Top Questions

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.
