But aren't there a lot of asians no matter where you go in CA? Even UCB has a high percentage..

^ yeah, totally. They have like 41% Asians there (don't quote me on that)... and you're going to find a lot of Asians everywhere. California is full of immigrant diversity.

This isn't directed towards anyone specifically, just in general, I get real tired of people saying they don't like UCI (or any other college) because of too many Asians. I was guilty of saying that once (and yes I AM Asian too), but after I came to UCI I started truly realizing that it didn't matter. What does ethnic diversity have to do with individual diversity? Every person I met was most likely Asian but I stopped noticing a LONG time ago because what I would notice first would be how they were as a person, what their personality was like. It's college now, and it's time for people to grow up a little and open up their minds.

^ Agreed, and by asians you mean Korean, thai, vietnamese, chinese, japanese and Indians right? So that by itself is a huge diversity.

We live in Asia, we love it here!

Any updates on the budget front - cuts/pullbacks etc.

watcollege?

oh man my gf is a bio major.

every year they drop 15 percent of the class. Bio is very competitive at UCI since its a big pre-med campus.

My midterms have been though but, nothing beats getting A's and knowing that you've worked hard. I really like UCI its brought out the best in me.

watcollege?

15%! >.< thats scary...
