Campus:

---

The students I met were fantastic- helpful, understanding, knowledgeable.

---

The faculty member I spoke with seemed very genuine.

---

Before my tour, I'd only really seen the campus from Campus dr, which is not at all representative of the whole university. I found Aldrich Park, the bio sci area, and phy sci areas nicest.

---

Very clean and groomed.

---

Mesa Court and Middle Earth seemed pretty standard, but the new VDC housing is really nice.

---

I believe Irvine is consistently ranked as one of the safest cities in the U.S.

---

I was honestly impressed. I had never seen the entire campus, and it is really beautiful. I liked Aldrich Park.

---

Off-Campus:

---

University town center provides quite a bit to do.

---

My only complaint about Irvine is that it's a bit boring at present compared to other college towns. However, it has a lot of potential and the area is defiantly nice and extremely safe.
