one advice if you go to UC Irvine...learn chinese cause 50% is chinese people. even though they can all speak english, they rather speak chinese
that's a pretty presumptive and stereotypical piece of advice. what you fail to realize is that students, regardless of their ethnicity, are at uci with strengths in english. this IS america. i... i don't even have the words to tell you how illogical your comment sounds. i can say with utmost confidence that knowledge of chinese is absolutely not necessary to go to or excel at uci.
i've visited uci. it's a beautiful school. basically the buildings are all clustered around a park. it's a very modern school, too. most buildings are brand new. the surrounding town is like.. lego land. suburbia. but la is just about half an hour away. pretty convenient if you need some city life.
as for what kind of school uci is.. it has a great reputation. and, uci is a party school. just the same way ivy leagues like harvard and princeton are party schools. just the same way top uc's like berkeley are party schools. my point being, it just depends on who you choose to associate with and the life you want to live. :) it's only a party school if you make it one (..for the most part).

Excuse me, think I've mistaken you for somebody else
Somebody who gave a damn
Somebody more like myself
