UC Davis v.s. UC Irvine (for CS major)

Colleges & Universities University of California - GENERAL
11

UCI surroundings within a 5-10 miles radius:

  1. Beautiful beaches (Newport beach, etc...)
  2. Disneyland & Disney's CA Adventure
  3. Plenty of choices for excellent food from around the world (little saigon is awesome).
  4. Shopping centers (south coast plaza, fashion mall, etc...)

Then to the south about 1-1.5 hours drive is beautiful San Diego. If you up for an adventure, you can cross to Mexico. Las Vegas and Palm Springs to the east.

I can go on and on…

I agreed with aunt bea that you should visit both campuses and stay a couple of days and visit their surrounding areas.
