What impressed you positively?

either the students and faculty are all very good actors, or UCI lives up to its laid back reputation

What impressed you negatively?

some of the facilities feel a little old. the hospital is a bit of a drive from campus. i grew up near irvine, and there ain't a lot of social life on or near the campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

the interviews could not be less confrontational. the student interview was just like a conversation with a friend and the faculty interviewer was very candid about the process and the environment. i thought they both gave me great information to go home with.
