What are your general comments?

"Never been to Irvine before, but it is like the rest of southern california. Kobe Bryant's name mustve came up 100 times throughout the day because he sometimes uses the Irvine rec center. The campus is clean, modern, and located in a very suburban locale near the beach. Having a car sounded like a necessity. The most emphasized point was that the learning environment is collegial and the students get along with each other, which seemed true for 1st/2nd year students. All students we met kept telling us that it was the most relaxed interview that they went to during the application process. The student interview lived up to that claim and my faculty interview was only slightly more intense. Interviewers had no access to test scores/gpa. Brand new facilities will be complete by next year" Report Response
