University of California-Irvine Top Questions

A person who is highly interested in research and plans to go on to graduate school would highly benefit from going to UCI. They have state of the art facilities and world renowed faculty. People who are particularly interested in the sciences would especially benefit for the cutting edge research taking place at UCI.

Independent learners who don't need engaging and caring professors. Students who don't mind having useless academic counselors and who know exactly what they want to do and how they want to go about getting there.

Someone who knows where they want to go after college and who is driven. The school tries to weed people out sometime and sees if you are capable.

a person who wants a good degree but not a great campus life. irvine is boring, know that going in.

Someone who doesn't mind large class sizes and students who are extremely competitive, especially in the biology department. To attend UCI, be prepared for an atypical college experience. The school doesn't particularly have a lot going on during the weekends because almost everyone goes home, especially during your first two years. There isn't a lot of school spirit, which probably is due to the lack of a powerhouse football or basketball team such as like USC or UCLA. I think UCI best fits a person who just wants to focus on their studies and not much else.

A person who is enthusiastic about life and what is to come. Also, someone who wants to find themselves. Someone who is not just digging themselves into books 24/7 (even though we have plenty of those here too.)

smart, outgoing, and friendly

Anyone with an open mind! My school has so many people with their own diversity and culture, and I feel like that's what part of what makes UCI an awesome school :)
