<p>parksunchang: those stats are not really publicized</p>
<p>anyone have any questions about anything do post.</p>
<p>I got one. Where've you been all this time? lol</p>
<p>Thought you abandoned the thread.</p>
<p>Okay okay, I'll play along. Do professors care if you bring and use voice recorders to the lecture halls?</p>
<p>evilleprechaun:</p>
<p>lol...no i didn't abandon the thread, no one was asking anything. and since college is starting soon i thought i would repost and get the thread out there again.</p>
<p>regarding voice recorders, no professors don't mind if you bring along voice recorders. You cant however tape them with a video camera. voice recorders are fine in any class, lecture, lab, or discussion.</p>
<p>I just wonder if you think it's doable to work and study at the same time. The work that I do is fairly easy. Should I work less than 15 hours per week? Would doing work study equal up to working at a job? I just need people's opinion that's all.</p>
<p>sweetdream:</p>
<p>I was offered a job on campus for during the schol year. However, they do not want me to start working there until November/December to get used to the college life.</p>
<p>I suggest the same for you. Get used to your schedule and the way things work. Once your time management skills are perfect, ask yourself if you can keep up the school work and still maintain a job. </p>
<p>If you feel you still can, go for it. You should be working no more than 20 hours a week.</p>
<p>That's my opinion anyways.</p>
<p>sweetdream:</p>
<p>First of all, i would recommend what evilleprechaun has said. On top of that all jobs on campus are part time only, so you are limited to only 20 hours. Try it out after you have your lifestyle set. It is doable, but make sure that your grades dont suffer. If working becomes a hassle, drop work to get more time for your classes. I had a lot of friends in the dorms who worked on campus and had 16 unit loads and were at the top of the class still, and others whose grades suffered a little but managed okay. It is all based on how you can really manage time and how efficiently you can get your stuff done.</p>
<p>How competitive would you consider UCI's business economics and science majors? Also, what is there to do around UCI?</p>
<p>tenacious.sol:</p>
<p>i would say that business econ is not very competitive, and a lot of people transfer to this major after experiencing the high competition from the major they were in. no offense to anyone who is a business econ major, but it is not very hard to get into the program, and so far my roommate has not experienced any real competition as a business econ major.
So far as science majors are concerned, i would say that you really have to love what you are going into, whichever branch of science, because it is cutthroat competition the higher you go up, and you really need dedication to be at the top. I don't want to discourage you in any way, just know that you will have a lot of hard work ahead of you, as well as a lot of competition if you choose to go into any science or engineering field. Best of luck in whatever you choose, and I was helpful. let me know if you have any other questions</p>
<p>btw what do you mean when u ask what there is to do around uci? i just need a little clarification before i can answer that part of your question</p>
<p>~Kadya</p>
<p>Well for lunch I usually eat at the University Town Center. And I'm looking for some other places on campus to eat. If I'm a commuter where would I go beside Starbuck?</p>
<p>When I ask about what you can do at UCI, I meant if there were great activities we can get involved in at campus. Also, my question was kind of relating to how close UCI was to the centers of fun like Irvine Spectrum. I know where Irvine is, but I never really explored the city. Can you describe some typical hang out spots and outside activities u can do for nightlife? Let's say you were finished with your classes and decided to go somewhere to have fun with your friends...where would you go [ a list of places would be cool :) ]</p>
<p>Hmm you think it would be bad if I double majored biz econ and chemistry? lol</p>
<p>tenacious.sol:</p>
<p>for places close to UCI but you might need a car to get to:
South Coast plaza for shopping
Irvine spectrum is about 2 or 4 miles from campus(lots of great stuff)
the beach, Corona Del Mar, is about 15 to 20 min away
there is a bowling place close to campus adjacent to a boomers
random restaurants u will have to find online based on what ethnic food you want to eat.
Regarding your question about double majoring in chem and bizE, i would try out going for Chem first and see if you can do well in there. I dont think that adding BizE should add much more and be any harder, but minors in such fields are also really popular. Because you can major in Chem and have 2 or 3 minors such as bizE, and another. Just something to consider since minors are easier than double majoring, and exposes you to much more.</p>
<p>sweetdream:
i would check out the AntEater Student Center, where they added all those new shops. My friend says that the mexican food isnt worth it however, so im not sure about the quality of the food. Have you tried eating at phoenix grill and BC caverns? Also right past the Humanities Bridge is a place called the Cyber A Cafe, which is pretty good to eat at and has some good drinks that are cheaper than starbux. Also there is some pretty good food places in the albertson's plaza. Do you have any specific type of food you are looking for? (fast, sit down, vegetarian, ethnic, etc.)</p>
<p>Hi
I am thinking about joining a sorority next yr...
Which sororities are most popular on campus?</p>
<p>How are the class sizes...I'm hoping they're better than Cal or LA's? How bad is parking? </p>
<p>Are there a lot of research opportunities/internships in science and business? </p>
<p>Is there a minor in biochem, chem, biz econ, etc because UCI's list of minors doesn't seem to have those. Are there more minors that exist than what's presented here? ---> <a href="http://www.admissions.uci.edu/majors_minors.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.admissions.uci.edu/majors_minors.html</a></p>
<p>Oh, also, how does biz econ differ from a regular econ major? Thanks :)</p>
<p>I'll tell you my class sizes for this year:</p>
<p>Physics 7a lec: 400, dis: 40</p>
<p>chem h2a lec: 54, dis: 18</p>
<p>math 2d lec: 82, dis: 40</p>
<p>bme 1: 200</p>
<p>labs for chem/physics: 20 or something i think.</p>
<p>I'm taking three classes and here's the breakdown.</p>
<p>Economics: 250+ kids
Writing: 20 kids
Math: 50 kids</p>
<p>The econ is huge but the rest are fine for me right now.</p>
<p>And business econ is a few more math classes as it exposes you to accounting.</p>
<p>I'm a senior in high school with questions about advantages and disadvantages about declaring major or not. What are the disadvantages that await me if I get into UCI if I haven't declared my major? Do declared students get higher registration priority than undeclared? Since I'm only applying right now, these are the only disadvantages I can think of. If you know more, please tell me.</p>
<p>SandBag:</p>
<p>if you dont declare a major you have to take a class called University Studies, and you get a ****ty registration window because you are Undeclared/Undecided. You pretty much get everything last.
However, since you are U/U sometimes you may have a better chance of getting into UCI. As U/U you dont have any reqs that you have to have done or any set of classes that must be taken. You have to see a counselor though before signing up for classes in the winter term...there is an up and downside to both. But it also depends what major you want to go into. For example, you might have a better chance of getting into UCI as U/U instead of being an engineering major, and then just change of major over to Engineering. If you do that, then you dont have to compete with engineering majors for spots in the school of engineering.</p>

<p>^ kadya what about bio sciences? is it in the same situation as engineering? or is it easier?</p>
<p>bio is easier than engineering but harder than u/u</p>
