<p>just curious cuz there was a thread about "what do u like about uci?" ?</p>
<p>I wish I could walk to the beach (Like a 2 minute walk tops). That would make UCI perfect. It would be hard strapping a surfboard onto the top of a Mini Cooper. That and it's too close to home...at least I get to live in the dorms the first year.</p>
<p>heard its a commutter school which is lame</p>
<p>when i went to the Destination UCI thing, they said that despite being a commuters school, 80% of all freshman lives in on campus dorms.</p>
<p>I don't like how there is a vast majority of Asians there, because I wanted to stand out in college and this will be hard for a Vietnamese girl like me at UCI</p>
<p>tastemy- you should come over here where there is a total of one asian...</p>
<p>heh come to new jersey where in my HS ,my grade has 1 asian girl and 4 guys</p>
<p>tastemyhypocrisy - i'm a vietnamese girl too...and the whole asian over abudance factor of uci is a major turnoff. i like my people..but i want some diversity</p>
<p>yay vii!
what makes me even more vietnamese fob is that my family owns a pho resturant in little saigon city :] I'm kinda excited to know that i will never go hungry in college.</p>
<p>Eventhough 80% of freshmen live in dorms, "they come home during weekends, so the campus is pretty much empty on weekend." HS friend who goes to UCI told me.</p>
<p>tastemyhypocrisy, hook me up with some pho! Goooood stuff. :) Hahaha.</p>
<p>tastemyhypocrisy - i used to be in "Vietnamese catholic music videos" for my church as a plot to recruit the younger generation. you have a pho restaurant. i think we're teh epitome of vietnamese fobs! what school are you going to?</p>
<p>just because there are a lot of asians doesnt mean you'll get lost in the deck it just means you got be hotter looking hahah</p>
<p>yeah, what's wrong with a whole bunch of asians? if it's an issue of being unique, then i'd much prefer standing out on the grounds of my personality and not my skin.</p>
<p>nothings wrong with a whole bunch of asians. i just want diversity. like really, diversity. but i guess no matter where i go in the uc system (aside from sb or sc) there will be 934783974297 asians.</p>
<p>Then go to UCSB or UCSC</p>
<p>ya being asian i don't want to be surrounded by more since i hate getting involved with those people. plus irvine doesn't seem to be a friendly environment. don't jump on me but the fact that it's a commuter school throws me off. ya irvine looks nice but whatever. i think davis is a lot better....more homey and friendly. only good thing about irvine- disneyland! but then i would go there so much i would get sick of it.</p>
<p>how can you dislike asian while being asian yourself? Thats crazy.</p>
<p>I like my asian folks.</p>
<p>"i hate getting involved with those people"</p>
<p>that was very degrading, you generalized the whole asian population to your own personal stereotype of dismay for certain qualities you don't like. I do agree with you that the vast asian population is a turn off for UCI, only because it lacks diversity and hinders my own opportunity to stand out, but i do not hate asian people just because they are asian. </p>
<p>There are actually probably more things to do in Irvine than Davis off campus, and you have to think of how many years you are going to be there and I don't think you will be on campus 24/7.</p>
<p>they have electricity in davis now?</p>
<p>Yes actually they do; they also have a diversified student body.</p>
