Is UC Irvine a good school??

I graduated from UC Irvine, and I absolutely loved it.  It is an awesome school.  But, like any college, you get what you put into it.  They have good research opportunities, and great programs to study abroad.  Make sure to take advantage of all of the opportunities, and the peaceful environment.  This is not a "party" school.  It's more laid back.  Oh.. and the gym "the ARC" is the best.

I went to UCLA (majored in Math), and dated someone who went to UCI, so I'm very familiar with both campuses.  Even though I will always be a loyal Bruin, both are excellent schools and will look very good on any resume or applications in the future.  (I took a few Bio courses at UCLA and learned a lot ... they were tough precisely because there were a lot of pre-meds like you.)  However, in the long run, the school you went to just a line item on an application.  What's way more important (especially as an undergraduate) is that you are happy where you are ... as *that* is what affects how well you perform and how much you learn.  I.e. does the campus, culture, student body, professors, etc. all suit you.  UCLA is a little larger as far as headcount, but not much (I think it's about 19,000 undergrads at UCI, and 24,000 at UCLA).\n\nAnother thing to consider is how close you want to live to home.  Saving rent is an *enormous* plus.  And this can ease you into the college environment your freshman year.  But you need to decide if and when moving out will be part of the college experience, or a distraction from the med-school goal. \n\nBottom line: You want things to be comfortable for yourself, but not *too* comfortable.   You won't learn as much if things are too easy or too cozy.\n\nRemember, the goal is not just to learn about life science (Biology), but about *life*.  \n\nGood luck!

this is a question that is asked often by students who don't know how to choose a university.  you can see which one is the "best" by going to the US News and World Report College Rankings website.  What will you find out there?  Absolutely nothing...except that the most expensive schools are supposedly the "best."  my advice to you is that you find something that you like and find the school that offers that.  then, visit these schools and see which one is the best for YOU.  each person is different and all will have a different experience at each place.  \n\npersonally, i loved uc riverside...wouldn't have traded it for anything else :)\n\nand another thing: UC's (Santa Cruz, Irvine, Riverside) don't offer fashion design or court reporting...and i'm pretty sure that Cal States (San Jose) don't either...so, it looks like you're out of luck with all of the above schools.

In CA, the best would be USC or UCLA.\n\nHowever, there are a lot of other good schools not in California if you would be interested, including Columbia University, NYU, Ithaca College, and Weseleyan University.  Hope these names are something different than what you've been hearing. Vote me for best answer! :)
