The school provides an excellent education and have very intelligent students and faculty. They have the resources to help you find a job and there are a lot of businesses in the local area.

Wesley

The best thing about my school is the fact that the faculty and staff is very supportive and informative. I often do not keep up with school information, but my school sends me things that I may find interesting or useful and they actually are quite helpful.

Although UCI is often judged for not having a football team, UCI students put twice the effort into making our anteater voice heard. Through different organizations on campus, UCI faculty and students are continually paying it forward, whether through research, sustainability efforts, work with local small businesses, or efforts to get other students invested in UCI. Spirit is contagious at UCI, which can be seen through our achievement of hosting the largest dodgeball game ever. Campus also feels as comforting as home, as the amount of resources to help with any problem manageable is endless.

UC Irvine preps undergraduates for graduate school very well by stressing the "Five Pillars" of research, academics, internships, community service, and leadership. They also offer help on how to achieve these goals. The professors and teaching assistants I have had all know their subject very well and encourage you to go to office hours and further discuss topics.

UCI has many things to offer, but the one thing I must say they offer the best is the career center. The career center is very large and very helpful. They help with on and off campus jobs if you are looking for them. They offer ways to search for internships how far and where they are at. I would say that because of the career center, many student at our university has jobs that help sustain a sufficient life for themselves.

Well what I thinks is totally unique at our school is that it is shaped as a CIRCLE! you rarely see this. And it is so cool because if you get lost, you will just be walking in a circle forever. But it is very difficult to get lost at our campus. what is also unique is that we have a park in the middle of our campus. it is great if you have a gap between classes, you can just go sit in the park and relax. it's really beautiful and there are lots of bunnies and squirrels! here is a link to see a map of our school : http://uci.edu/campus_maps.php Also, what can be good and an amazing experience is coming for a campus tour. there are tours Monday through Friday at noon. You don't need an appointment, but if you like you can always make one. The link for the tours is : http://www.campustours.uci.edu/tour_overview.asp

UCI is a research based university; as being the science major, I'm planning to engage in discovering and applying the textual knowledge by participating in research program. A wide variety of majors are offered at UCI; a prospective science professionalists has a lot of majors to choose from. Going outside of the academic horizon, UCI offers and supports variety of clubs on the campus. By supporting multivariable clubs, UCI encourages each student to bring their culture, ideas, and knowledge. On the psychological level, students have a great staff who encourage students to speak up and spark thinking.

Sheila

The amount of technology and resources provided on campus for students to use is probably the best thing about UCI. Many students don't have access to some of the necessary resources that UCI offers for free.

Aparna

The best thing about my school is the extensive research programs. There is a research group or program in almost every branch of education. Since there is a wide variety to choose from, students can make the choice that suits their interest.
