Student Reviews
UC Irvine
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The campus is beautiful and the classes very difficult. The school has many resources to help out students in many ways but lacks an understanding for students who commute and work full time jobs, the school is more fit for a student who only has time to focus on their studies. Overall, a wonderful school.
