UCI will feel like an architecturally segregated school because all of the departments and majors are separated quite far from each other making it very difficult to mingle and meet your fellow classmates outside of your major.

Julie

The school that I am attending is a very accepting, open campus. Students feel welcome on campus and do not feel like they will be excluded because there is something there for anyone as long as they are willing to search for what is right for them. People feel safe and the atmosphere is very inviting and gives a sense of belonging even if you feel a bit uncomfortable in your own skin.
