UC Irvine Pros and Cons

UC Irvine Pros and Cons
-
In today's video I talk about the Pros and the Cons of the university of California, Irvine. Many people are curious to know more about UCI and want to know about the good and the bad, so I thought this video would be perfect to make. With everything going on in the world right now, I have been staying busy and distracted and creating this youtube video and other content is an outlet for me. I separated the video into Social Cons, Academic Cons, Social Pros, and Academic Pros so that way you all have a broader perspective of UC Irvine. If you have any questions please feel free to leave them in the comment section below so that I can try an help you out!

Finish the whole video ! Very interesting & funny (& I already graduated college)

[mshutube]

UCI's awesome...and most people don't even know it's 4 mins from the beach.

i just got accepted for fall 2021 so this is really helpful, thank u

[ralphjeromedecastro]

Yeah, I'm finishing up my final year at UCI. The social life is definitely not as active as other schools but in my experience, most people are super cool. In terms of professors, a lot of time depends on the major. The business professors are generally all awesome and care about their students greatly. For philosophy and sociology, most professors are also accomodating and caring. I think at the end of the day, you can learn a lot about yourself and grow at this school if you are willing to make the effort to find what you need.

The joke we say all the time is that UCI has been undefeated in Football 50+ years. LOL

[phiaosurac]

You are 100% right about UCI professors not really caring about their students wellbeing. I've had professors yell at me or turn me away when asking for help in the class. I've heard other student say it is because the professors are payed for their research and not for their teaching unfortunately. So they don't care if kids are learning as much as their research going well.

thank you... i am a mom ...maybe not your target audience... lol but during Covid...virtual tours are what we have to consider colleges. Your video...was one of the Best college videos. you gave a lot of details on class scheduling that was extremely helpful for college consideration.

Currently preparing for the UCI Master's of Conservation & Restoration interview. Learning that the area is safe, not a party school, and tranquil is a pro for an introvert such as myself.

i’m an incoming freshman and this was very insightful!! just subscribed :)

[claudiaorozco]

As a 4th year UCI student, I totally agree with everything you said.

[LSinclair]

Hey, this was really fun to learn how UCI is different from when I went … 50! years earlier. Thank you for all your insights and information. Very worthwhile to watch. I loved dorm life and the layout of buildings around the park. Great mems! 😊

[romeochhut]

i think you made a very good point ab the competition for classes. i think it’s ridiculous that people with jr standing are still struggling to get into the classes they need 👎🏽.

[helensnails]

I just got into the law school and there are very few videos talking about Uci culture! Thanks so much for this!! Super useful info

[Leo-chdd]

So happy to come the 28th August from France as a international student for a period of 4 months 🥖🇫🇷🇺🇸

Although UCI doesn’t have a big social life we have a bunch of surroundings options
1) spectrum ( one of the school shuttles takes you) district
2) bunch of beaches 15 minute drive (Newport, Costa Mesa, crystal cove, Laguna beach beach) 20-30 Huntington Beach
3) bars & clubs Newport, Santa Ana, Anaheim
4) Disneyland
5) Amtrak ( LA, SD 1 hr, bus picks you at the center & leaves you at the station)

I did party an okay amount, just gotta know the right people. I wasn’t part of a sorority or new any frat people, so it’s doable. The only bad side is you need a car to get around

For class planning, your school (major wise) has academic advisors that help plan your classes you need quarter by quarter, doing that for social sciences (economics) at UCI

[ddreamax]

If you want film and media studies, art and design. I'd recommend Orange coast college just a couple miles away in costa mesa. I do like the anteater Rec facility ARC. All sorts of activities like social and urban dance, martial arts, badminton, tennis, swimming, everything. Mostly taught by current and former students, which makes it more dynamic.

[drebaby]

Im glad you talked about the difficulty of changing majors.

[tha_oz]

i see the subtle flex of that mac book pro!

[roya]

PROS: Beautiful weather and campus. Super smart professors and fellow students. Aldrich Park. Great access to Orange County jobs. CONS: Mostly a commuter school. A relatively small amount of students live on campus and most live in neighboring cities. Quarter system so classes will be 10 weeks instead of 16 weeks like semester systems, so you don't have that much time to pick up the material. Great video. All the best
