<p>^ Are you educational insider? Do you frequently audit classes at all the universities? Do you have your own elaborate formula for ranking the universities? </p>
<p>If any of these things are true, please enlighten us. Otherwise, give us a basis for your statement and not some ridiculous opinion.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>you haven’t actually seen the campus, have you…
remember Fresh Prince?
and how Will lived in that big a$s house…
that’s all across the street from UCLA.
wouldn’t worry too much about the getting shot thing…</p>
<p>I’m terrified of UCI. With the high concentration of Asians driving their cars, who knows what could happen to me.</p>
<p>I went to UC Irvine for the HTCC conference. I thought the place sucked. I bet you could get a decent education there, but the campus was so boring and in the middle of nowhere.</p>
<p>UCSD is actually way under-rated. They have a ton of amazing majors that al the other UC’s don’t offer. The Political Science dept is huge, and they have so many writing degrees. Besides the fact that they are such a good bio/science school.</p>
<p>I am a shoe in for either Berkeley or UCLA. I like both schools a lot. Call me crazy, but I am seriously considering UCSB over those two. UCSB has a great honors program there that I want to do. Smaller classes, more in depth, less competative school but still a top education. I might do that and save UCLA or Berkeley for grad school.</p>
<p>I didn’t know irvine was in the middle of nowhere, considering the part of Irvine where UCI is located has crappy ass 2 bedroom condos that regularly go for $1million+.</p>
<p>Since when is orange county the “middle of nowhere”?</p>
<p>dasherwinator in post 26: “Because at UCSD they have no law school, no business school, and are only good at one thing. UCI has a lot more top departments than UCSD. You are ignoring facts.” </p>
<p>Dasherwinator does not let little inconvenient things like facts get in the way of his stories. UCSD has a graduate school of management, the Rady School of Management.
[The</a> Rady School of Management](<a href=“http://management.ucsd.edu/]The”>http://management.ucsd.edu/)</p>
<p>And calling people names is the last refuge of someone who cannot carry a convincing argument. Not worthy of civic discourse.</p>
<p>hijynx, that wasn’t racist at all. <– sarcasm.</p>
<p>irvine is located smack dab in the center of cesspool suburbia… why anyone would actually want to live there is way beyond me…</p>
<p>UCI is a cesspool with $5-6million houses half a mile away in the Turtle Ridge and Shady Canyon communities of irvine. =)
To answer your question, the reason people want to live in irvine is because of its natural beauty, its ranking as one of the safest cities in the nation, and most importantly, its high schools, which are hands down the absolute best public high schools in the nation.</p>
<p>You’re totally insecure.</p>
<p>What I meant by “the middle of nowhere” was boring OC Suburban area. Upper middle class/Upper Class houses, safe neighborhoods, have to drive everywhere, same chain restaurants everywhere. Painfully plain and boring.</p>
<p>The school was boring, the town was boring, and the place was so white-bread cookie cutter un-original and typical. It just did nothing for me. But hey, that is just my opinion. I much rather live in a sketchy beach town, LA, or Oakland. I grew up in Boston so I am much more comfortable around low lifes and scumbags than I am around affluent suburban areas.</p>
<p>I can understand why some people would like it, and why some would not. It’s just not my bag.</p>
<p>I personally hate it, its depressing because there is no centralized place for people to hang out, you literally have to drive everywhere to have fun.</p>
<p>it’s a suburban drain, man… and it houses self-righteous tools like you. </p>
<p>'nuff said.</p>
<p>A better way to describe it is that it is too perfect and lacks the seediness needed by college students to have fun. I would refrain from calling it a “drain”, that term is best used to describe Westminster, now that place is a sh1thole culturally and physically.</p>
<p>UCI trumps UCSD. End of Discussion.</p>
<p>ooobabiiiiie</p>
<p>No way. Oh crap Macgruber goes to an Ivy League school so we better listen.</p>
<p>you bettta listennnnnnnnnn hahaha</p>
<p>Hey. This Irvine place is pretty nice. Look at that soccer mom taking her kids to soccer practice. Look at that other soccer mom unloading groceries. Oh, here comes a soccer mom walking her dog. I should smile and wave. Hmm, she didn’t smile back. She’s picking up the dog and running away. Now she’s on her cell phone. Aw hell, is that a cop car coming around the corner?</p>
