University of California-Irvine Top Questions

What do you consider the worst thing about University of California-Irvine? Why?

Americo

I think the worst thing about UCI is the social aspect. It lacks a a lot of social parties and it gets broing here.

The worst thing about UCI would have to be the shuttle system that we have to use toget from and to campus. It only runs on weekdays and sometimes it is really packed and it is uncomfortable to ride in.

The worst part about UCI has to be the lack of a football team. The school spent upwards of a few million dollars on an extravagant science library instead of investing in a football program. The reason why this matters is because it would really help school spirit to have a team and stadium where students can congregate and meet each other and have fun. I believe a lack of this program is what makes the school not as appealing as higher ranked schools.

The worst things about my school are very few. However, like all other campuses, my school is not perfect. I would say that parking is a big issue at UC Irvine. Parking is hard to find and the permits are not cheap. If an individual buys a permit, it would be nice that a parking spot may also be guaranteed.

Tina

It's too theory based and academic based, not exactly the most practical school ever.

Danya

It is a young school, so a lot of programs have not been fully developed. Parking is pretty bad!

Lynna

The worst thing about my school is that it costs money to print. Many professors assign writing work that need a hard copy to turn in and it is difficult to turn in a hard copy for every class if it costs you money each time to print out numerous pages.

Sunny

There isn't really any major problems with UCI, so thinking of things I consider to be the worst about my school is actually pretty difficult. If anything, things that bother me are just my pet peeves. One of them would be how the food quality drastically declined in first quarter, especially after Thanksgiving. After it, the dining halls had nothing but turkey. Also, going to this school is expensive. Between housing and tuition, my family's wallet crying. However, college is expensive in general, so I can't really say that's a particular thing about UCI.

Although Irvine is considered to be one of the safest cities in the United States, it has a limited variety of people from ethnic backgrounds. A majority of students are Asian or Middle-Eastern therefore, the school environment is not as diverse as I would like it to be. Another issue with UCI is that it is located in a small surburban area. It does not really have a college feel to it. Most off campus apartments are occupied by both UCI students and families therefore, the social life of Irvine is a bit more conservative than it should be.

Genesis

I think my school should have more food courts on campus with a variety of tastes.
