Im a senior in hs rn and this is one of my fav colleges, I rly hope I get in
oooh i hope so too!!
how'd it go?
i just got into irvine a few weeks ago and i’m gonna commit today!! so so so excited:)
I’m an incoming anteater and I hope I meet girls like you two:) You guys seem so bubbly and fun! All I heard about Uci is how there’s no social life there but you guys definitely prove that wrong
aww ur so sweet
i just got accepted and i think i’m gonna go here🤩
same!
YAYY im so excited for you
same!
so excitedddd i just got in yesterday!!
AYY im excited for you :))
aw i love this, i am attending this year, but so sorry y'all had to end your first year so suddenly
incoming anteater here!!
ayyy welcome !!
First off, great vid! My name is Danny and I've been kind of watching some videos from UCI students to get a feel for the school :)
I'm really hoping I get accepted for Fall 2021 as a 4th-year transfer student. I have a few questions about UCI tho if you don't mind:
1. So far from what I've heard from other videos mesa is the move but, I'm not sure how housing works at UCI. Basically, I want to live with a friend in a double room like yours, would that be possible in mesa?
2. Also are classes pretty far from mesa? Would I need to commute to classes daily? I actually don't mind semi-long 20-minute walks for the cardio but I'm also not tryna be sore at the end of the week lol
3. Is the gym nice? I'm currently attending CSUMB and the gym is mad small. So when it's crowded equipment is impossible to get to and my workouts run for 2 hours sometimes.
4. Is there relatively healthy eating options at both dining halls? I love my not-so-healthy food but I'm tryna eat healthier fs after eating fried chicken and pizza basically every day of my freshman to junior year. Still, definitely gonna try them chicken sandwiches tho haha
5. Are the professors generally chill and easy to talk to? Is reaching out for help relatively easy?
6. Lastly, I'm %100 trying to get a job on campus if I get accepted, any tips?
Thanks for your time in advance, maybe we'll run into each other in a class who knows.
Hi Danny! Sorry for the late reply hahaha
1.Yes you can live with a friend in a double in mesa or middle earth, mesa also has an option to live with 3 others!
2. yeah classes are around 20 mins from mesa, some even closer it depends... some people have bikes, scooters and skateboards that they use to get to class if you don't want to walk!
3. the gym is called the ARC and i actually really like it there, it's pretty big and has a pool, lots of gym equipment, a huge basketball court, and you can take different club sport classes there
4. yes they do have healthy options! i actually don't really like unhealthy foods but i was fine, there are also little cafes around campus known for healthy foods, and i like to go there often
5. yess i have talked to a few of my professors and they're all chill! they have office hours every week where they can help you, and also teacher assistants help as well, plus tutoring centers
6. i haven't gotten a job on campus, i have some friends who work on campus but most work at UTC! check it out, its the town center that's pretty much at UCI and there are lots of job opportunities there
I'm a senior in hs and I'm so excited to go here this fall
how hard is it to change majors? i got in as a film and media studies major for fall 2020, but i want to be an education sciences major.
not hard at all! for me, all i had to do was take a couple of classes for my new major this quarter and by the end of this quarter all i have to do is simply request to switch majors.
can transfers live with freshmen? i am gonna be 18 when I transfer this fall, and i was wondering if there is a way i can live with ppl my age (freshmen)
i got in but im kinda scared to be far from home
i just got in but i lowk dont wanna go but i have to now bcz I KEEP GETTING DENIED EVERYWHER ELSE AAAAAAH. You guys make the school sound fun tho!
haha uci was not my first choice, in fact before i didn't wanna go there, but i honestly can't imagine myself anywhere else and am veryyy happy here!!
@@jeejthepeej well I looked into it more and now I’m excited haha see you in the fall!
DUDE SAME
yay! I committed last week!! ;D
missing you so much 🥺
MORE!!
Hey so I’ve heard a lot about how uci is a “commuter school” or “dead”, and as a pretty outgoing and social person I’m worried it’ll be boring. Is it fun on weekends? And as for parties I’ve also heard there’s almost none, is this true? Lmao I just wanna make sure I make the right choice 💀
yess i was worried about that too since i am exactly the same haha but there will always be people here on the weekends so dont worry about that too much. As for parties I've been hearing that too lol, but I like to party every weekend and never felt like there weren't enough tbh
I’m now wanting to go to UCI more hahah
you won't regret it it's amazing !
what's the name of the type of dorm you guys are living in because I didn't know freshmans can be in a double room
i was living in middle earth classics! the other double room option is mesa court classics
I want to get into UCI but I’m going in as a CS. I heard CS is impacted at UCI so how much lower is it from the 29.9 percent acceptance rate 🇱🇧
ok i just searched it up and its 27% going in with cs which isn't too different, i believe in you!!
Hi can you please talk about the application process, plus what it’s like as a student coming from the UAE
for the uc application process, you need to write 4 essays and send in your hs transcript, ap scores, and act / sat scores! i feel like it wasn't too hard transitioning from dubai to uci since everyone is new and so welcoming and friendly, it just made everything so much easier
JiJi H ok thank you
I wanna go there but since I’m an international student I’m afraid that everyone already has friends or know each other :(
Omg the eyelashes made me laugh haha
Hello, I’ll be a freshman here in Uci soon and I’m so nervous!!! I’m desperately find a roommate, Do u know any ways or channels I can get into?
uci is very welcoming so dont worry too much!! i just posted a new video today answering ur question actually, and everything you need to know about uci! lemme know if u have any more questions
JiJi H thank you so much for doing these things for us, it really helps us a lot!
I got In but I’m lowkey scared, is it really challenging?
oooh it depends on your major, but for me as a double major (env science and social ecology) i don't find it too challenging and have lots of time to have fun
@@jeejthepeej thank you for replaying I’m just trying to make up my mind as see what school is the best fit I heard choosing ur classes is very competitive is it true (also I wanna do a business major) and in case we would like to switch majors is it hard ?
@@jeejthepeej if you're still there... could you let me know if you took lots of AP classes in high school? can you survive at Irvine if you did not take lots of AP classes or top of your high school in terms of grades???
Did you guys pick each other for roommates?
yes we did ! we found each other on facebook (i talk about it more in my other uci vid)
Just submitted my letter of intent 😌 bout to do my housing information today
Since UCI is a "commuter" schools does it get boring on the weekends?
tbh a little cuz i like being around lots of people and my home is in sf! but with my friends, some weekends they'd go home, sometimes they stay and we go out n have fun, or i go home with them so it works out :)
UCI is close to Disneyland the beaches LA. It’s basically in the middle of everything
wow UCI merch sucks, no offense
