<p>Okay well Irvine is a big school, so there is plenty of different types of students, but the typical UCI student doesn't seem to want the traditional college experience.</p>
<p>From princeton review</p>
<p>"UC Irvine has a very diverse group of students, and we all generally get along," A freshman further details, "Over half the students at UCI are Asian American, but it doesn't really seem to matter a whole lot for most people. People seem to be more concerned with doing well in classes than [with] who belongs to what race." Aside from ethnicity, "There's a wide representation of beliefs, cultures, and sexual orientations at UCI." A freshman reassures, "We're all here to succeed in college and beyond." Many remark that their classmates tend to be diligent and studious, and as a result, the social atmosphere can at times be a bit lackluster. A junior complains, "Many people have no idea what's happening on campus. They live in their own tiny bubble and rarely risk trying something new or meeting new people." Still, the academic-mindedness is what draws some students to the school in the first place; notes a senior: "Some people don't like Irvine because it's quiet and not a party school. I like that, though."</p>
