<p>i would also pick Irvine in this situation, although i want to clarify on ASAP’s post</p>
<p>UCLA guarantees 3 years of housing now, and their goal is to guarantee 4 years of housing. UCI only guarantees 1 year of housing for regular students, I believe.</p>
<p>UCLA recently implemented an Expected Cumulative Progress policy that makes sure you attain 180 units that are needed for graduation by the end of 4 years. </p>
<p>However, without priority pass at UCLA, you might be stuck with some classes that aren’t your first choice during your freshman year. That’s what makes the UCI honors/regents worth it (besides the money).</p>
