What impressed you positively?

The students were really nice and friendly. The student housing is ridiculously nice.

What impressed you negatively?

Irvine is tract housing land. Scary. Irvine is FULL of strip malls. Irvine is not beautiful, but it's not ugly. The hospital you work at and the place you go for medical school lectures are 20 min apart!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you go to UC Irvine, you basically have to live in a tract housing.

What are your general comments?

Interview was notable in that I spent half the time talking to him and asking him questions, which I liked.
