Well, I don’t know anything about your major, but:

-Public school, if you’re worried about debt, is normally better for undergrad. Spend all that money and get in debt for grad (that’s what I’m gonna do).
-I don’t know if this is one of your deciding factors, but Irvine is one of the most boring cities in the entire world. I’ve been living here for years and I can tell you, my friends and I are always, always bored. We’re not even boring people; we’re open minded. You can drive to the beach, which is like 20 minutes to 30 minutes away, you can go shopping or you can go eat. But there’s not much besides that. I dunno about the UCI partying scene, but the cops are super strict (it’s the no. 1 safest city in the U.S…) and parties are hard to come by. Essentially, if you want a social life, steer FAR, FAR away from UCI.
