University of California-Irvine Top Questions

Describe your favorite campus traditions.

Jennifer

My school was best known for being one of the top new universities in the world to obtain an education from. I'm proud of the fact that it is one of the best since the classes I took myself into my current path of urban planning. The professors were highly educated and engaging, which made the class enjoyable to learn the theories and attain practical experience to my current job as an assistant planner, where I would not have been at if it was not for the graduate students and faculty that helped me out.

University of California - Irvine is ranked the number one school under 50 years old. It's also acclaimed for their research and academic merits. The most well known majors at UC Irvine are in the sciences but have some of the best majors in the arts and humanities. UC Irvine is also the only UC campus that offers pharmaceutical science as an undergrad major and has computer science as a seperate school. The campus is pretty safe compared to other schools set in a the quiet city of Irvine.

UCI is best known for a few things. One is for being in the OC and that the campus is fairly safe because of that reason.

The more popular ones include: Kabba Modern, MCIA, Bboys Anonymous, etc. However, for myself, I decided to go to this school because of the campus. The campus itself feels very homely and peaceful. The park in the middle of the campus plays a big role in creating such a serene environment. UCI is also known for its gymnasium known as the ARC. Kobe Bryant comes at times to work out here at the ARC.

Even though many would say UC Irvine has a large percentage of Asian-Americans, I don't believe this is what it is known for, rather UC Irvine is known for its appreciation for the environment and the health of the people and organisms that call it home, seen through the high number of Biology-related majors and UC Irvine's own Medical Center off campus.

Its silly mascot and its lightheartedness. This is a super friendly, laid-back campus. Someone will point you in the right direction if you're lost, and someone will loan you their notes if you were sick. I'd be grateful, but unsurprised, if I left behind my wallet and had it returned intact.

UCI, like most other UC's, is best known for the hard sciences and its emphasis on being a research facility. However, it is a surprise for many to learn that UCI also has the second best program in the nation for dance, as well as being consistently highly ranked in other humanities and social science programs. UCI is also known for its large population of asians (appx 60 {4a082faed443b016e84c6ea63012b481c58f64867aa2dc62fff66e22ad7dff6c}). There is a lot of diversity, however, within that category; I have met people from every contient of the world at UCI, except for Antarctica.
