I think that the worst thing about UCI is that it is very cliquey. It's easy to get excluded a lot around campus, mainly by individual people/groups (not clubs). The clubs at UCI do a great job at including others, but I think that should spread to the rest of the campus as well. A lot of us aren't as involved as we should be, and I think that if we were, the campus would be more unified, rather than being so split up.

The worst thing about the school is probably the residential internet. In the dormitories, there is no wifi so the students have to bring their own routers. If they don't have routers, they have to stay grounded with the Ethernet. Even with the Ethernet cable, it is difficult to gain access to the Internet because the Cisco program required of the school takes a long time to set up. It just adds an inconvenience to everything.

The worst thing about my school is the growing "anti-bike" atmosphere. The use of bikes is almost frowned upon and many people are being pulled over with first time warnings to not ride their bikes along a ring road. There are bike lanes in the park but pedestrians don't follow those markings. It is generally unfair that a college campus is prohibiting the use of one of the most common methods of transportation to a college student. There is much needed reforming of the bike code.

The only bad thing about any school is the students' negative outlook of their future while studying there. If I were forced to choose one bad thing about this school is the fun. It isn't even really the school's fault, it's just the region and my opinion of the area. Unless you make and have friends whom have cars or some efficient mode of transportation, have a job or attend club events, this school is pretty much a bit bland on the weekends. However, you can always make your own fun by making events with a group.

I do not consider anything bad about my school. I have only been attending for one quarter so I do not have much to say about my school.

The worst thing about my school is that it's so expensive. Education should not be so pricey to the point where students have trouble paying for it. Financial aid was not able to cover my tuition and living costs, and my parents cannot afford paying for it all. Hence, why I'm applying for this scholarship. I'm seeking ways to help myself come up with money I will need to attend college without the help of my hard working parents.

The worst thing about my school is that it is still considered very new. Because of this, people do not think it is as worthy as other schools that have been around longer. As well, there needs to be more local shops and things for students to do. Because it is such a safe city, there really isn't much college bars or things like that. As well, a lot of people go home on the weekends because of this. So it is known as a commuter school.

I think the worst thing about my school is how much it costs for the education. I transfered and so I saved a lot of money for the two years I wasn't there. I had the same classes for much less. The classes at UC Irvine are so large, you hardly get to know your professors, and it seems like you could learn it on your own sometimes without having to pay for the classes. Many students end up with a lot of debt when they are done, including myself.

A number of people like to smoke on campus.
