<p>Hey everyone:</p>
<p>What do you do on weekends at UCI during the quarter? How often do you go home, if you live on campus?</p>
<p>I am just wondering since a lot of people consider UCI to be a college where there is little to do on weekends, what do most actually do?</p>
<p>i’m a commuter, so i’m not really sure, but i’m taking a friend home every friday…</p>
<p>I am going to commute from Irvine to LA every weekends too.</p>
<p>I’m from NorCal, so I stay here on campus except during breaks. UTC and the ARC do things during the weekend, like the Farmer’s Market and several sports activities. When I lived in the dorms, the RAs sometimes plan events during the weekends to ease the boredom of people staying there.</p>
<p>@ the OP</p>
<p>what do you consider fun? If you’re interested in anything in particular, someone can probably make more specific recommendations…
the main thing is Irvine is pretty spaced out, so a car is incredibly helpful in getting around.</p>
<p>Is there anything to do on campus though?</p>
<p>on campus not sure, but you can take the shuttle to the spectrum and stuff :] on campus, probably UTC and ARC… that’s all i can think of.</p>
<p>Chill with dormmates?</p>
<p>That’s what I’ve been doing! :)</p>
<p>The campus is pretty dead on weekends. It’s a largely academic campus, most people don’t find the point in staying and partying. Some may find it boring, but I find it peaceful. There isn’t the chaotic rush to get a nice meal in the commons, and it’s nice and peaceful, not many party-goers.</p>
<p>On campus, there isn’t usually a designated event every weekend, but college is what you make of it, you have to look for events. Just today there was a Ubisoft video game launch party, you can always go across the street to University town center, I always enjoy going to the Brandywine student center to play Wii or ping pong, the ARC is a fantastic place to get a nice workout, and the spectrum is only a shuttle ride away.</p>
