What impressed you positively?

Almost everything at this school impressed me positively. The strong bond that each class has is AMAZING. They are all one family. I spent some time with the diversity coalition, and they made me feel at home, and truly put UCI as a top choice for me.C/o 2014 will all have brand new facilities to learn and work in.

What impressed you negatively?

The rundown facilities, BUT our class would not be using those. So NO NEGATIVES!

How relaxed everything was. Seriously no stress.
