<p>i have a question does the lectures gives you work or is it just the discussions</p>
<p>What classes do freshmen BioSci majors usually take?</p>
<p>Did you guys play around with the class scheduler before going to SPOP (<a href=“Schedule of Classes)?%5B/url%5D”>Schedule of Classes)?</a> I don’t understand how it works lel. Or will everything be covered during SPOP? Also, were you able to look up professors on ratemyprofessor at SPOP?</p>
<p>@crackmaster
don’t worry everything will be covered at SPOP and you will have a lot of time to figure out your schedule.</p>
<p>What is the internet speeds like? I’m assuming torrenting is not allowed?</p>
<p>Hi I am a freshman with an Undeclared major and am looking into either computer engineering, computer science, business admin, public health, and BioSci. As you can see, I am a confused person and have no idea which path to pursue. My current class schedule is: Math 2B(4 units), Humcore 1A/SA(which is like writing 39A, 10 units), and University Studies 1(2 Units). Can you advise on whether this is a suitable schedule for someone with interests like me? I am constantly being told by my advisor that if I want to pursue engineering, then I have to take Physics 2 in the fall quarter and then continue on with Physics 7C in Spring. What should I do?
Thanks.</p>
<p>Hello 
I was wondering if you received the UCI Grant when you applied. I am an out of state student and UCI is my dream school. My EFC is 7,135. About how much could I expect to receive?</p>
<p>UCI has been my dream school since 7th grade. I am now a senior in high school. It’s so awesome that you go there Hopefully, I will be attending there next year as well.</p>
<p>Thanks!! :)^^</p>
<p>Is it difficult to change majors? I’m an incoming freshman listed under the Earth System Science major and have been considering switching to Business Economics. From what I’ve learned, I’d be able to send a request after first quarter and then go on from there?</p>
<p>No it is very easy to change majors, as long as the major you want to switch to is not impacted. </p>
<p>Business Econ is not impacted, so it should be very easy to switch to.</p>
<p>Awesome, thank you so much! (:</p>
<p>How is Brindley compared to Arasassingham? Do they give out practice tests? Are the problems just like what they taught in class?</p>
<p>Hello and thank you in advance for answering this question. I am a non-traditional student looking to transfer to UCI from an out of state school. I am closer to 40 than I am 20 so the thought of having to share an apartment with teens or 20 somethings kind of stresses me out. So my question was, have you ever heard of a single student without children getting a one bedroom in on campus housing? Basically, what are the chances? Is there even a chance or should I start preparing myself now to live with a random stranger?</p>
<p>^There are basically three on campus housing options at UCI. Two are first year, freshman exclusive dorms (Mesa Court and Middle Earth) where the only on-campus single rooms I know of are. Transfer students do not live in the dorms. The other only on-campus housing option is Campus Villiage, which used to be for undergraduates and is, last I checked, in the process of being converted into a graduate-student-only community (pity, I absolutely loved living there and being able to walk to class in <2 min.). BUT, because of your situation and what not, they may accommodate you (blind guess). I suppose it’s not an outrageous assumption that you’d fit in better with grad students than undergrads. It is a four person, two to a room configuration so if you can deal with sharing a room, it might be a good experience (extremely convenient). That’s all there is at UCI as far as on-campus housing goes.</p>
<p>NOW, as for off campus housing (because this is basically your only realistic option), there’s many more choices to pick from. First off, there’s a wide variety of housing for graduate students, some I assume will offer single bedrooms. Again, they might consider you for those options because of your unique situation but you really have to ask them. UCI also has VDC and VDC Norte, both undergraduate communities with private bedrooms (some with private baths). They are pricey but from what I gather, very nice. You’ll most likely have to face your fear of living with a 20 something though =/. There’s also some of the privately owned town-center apartments. They are BIG (well, relatively) and you’ll have more freedom in choosing who you live with (I believe they are not UCI-student exclusive). These options are campus-accessible through shuttle so they’re not so drastically worse compared to on-campus housing in terms of distance… </p>
<p>Oh btw, if you are very well off and have a car (in which case, I would have to ask, why UCI???), you can just rent one of those beautiful units with the fancy front gates and fountains and stuff. Not to sure on price but if I had to guess, it’d be something more than $2,000/mo. You can also try to see if any homeowners in Irvine are renting out a single room in their house or something. Yeah. That’s basically all I have =/ Good luck.</p>
<p>Does UCI have a vibrant spirit on campus during sport seasons? Are there any clubs that go on outdoor field trips such as camping or rafting?</p>
<p>Which dorms are bigger, Mesa or Middle Earth?</p>
<p>@oceanpartier - There is also Verano Place and Palo Verde. I’m hoping I can get into one of those apartment complexes. Both of these places allow cats and I have a cat I’ll be bringing with me. I would really prefer to live on campus because of all of the conveniences but we shall see. </p>
<p>Thank you so much for all the info. It is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>^Yep, those are for graduates and super nice. Hope it works out for you!</p>
<p>@CuriousJDG9513, nope. Hardly ever, now that I’ve seen what other schools are like during sports seasons. UCI’s not that vibrant in general. It’s more laid back and chill. UCI students have school spirit they just don’t really shove it in your face. Just sit back and enjoy the gorgeous scenery for a while…you’ll learn to love it.</p>
<p>As for outdoor trips you are really in luck…there’s a whole division dedicated to this kind of stuff. There are clubs that go on retreats too. Check this out:</p>

<p>@Stallwart, it really depends on what building you get. Generally, Mesa court has the “bigger” rooms but it’s not a significant difference IMO. I will say Mesa Court has the nicer looking rooms. Nicer carpet, nicer (INDOOR) kitchens, nicer common areas, large (NOT crank-operated-medieval-style-seriously WTH) windows…ect.</p>
<p>hi, alright so ik people might have asked versions of this questions, but im really concerned about uci being a dull school. i know people say you can have fun if you tryy to, but i dont consider trying to look for fun, fun. haha. im not huuge on partying, just want to enjoy a party here and there, but i dont want the place to be dead.
and also are there really thaatttt many asians there?? not tryna be racist, i just dont like when one group overpopulates every other group haha.
also which coed dorm would you prefer?? thank you!</p>
<p>As a current student at UCI, I would disagree about the school spirit. It has been going up increasingly! Our basketball team made it to the Big West conference, and almost made it to the NCAA tournament and at each game a huge amount of people went to the games by take the buses provided our found rides! School spirit is going up, and it is especially supported by the greek life (a bunch of my sisters went to each of the basketball games and have been going throughout the entire season)! But of course you cannot compare us to UCLA or USC where they have really good football teams and huge stadiums.</p>
