UC Irvine: Safe, Asian, and Controlled by the Irvine Company!!The more outgoing you are, the better time you're gonna have. Don't lock yourself in your dorm room freshman year, or you won't make any friends. Get to know people in your hall, don't just stick with your highschool friends. Go to the basketball and volleyball games...you get in free, plus you get free CIA (completely insane anteaters) shirts, and other free stuff too.
I decided on Irvine because I liked the climate, the atmosphere, and the fact that the weather reminded me of San Franc...
