Let's see. Do I have any secrets to pass on? Um. Irvine is a hugely conservative enclave with a highly racist police force. But you probably already knew that part. But as long as you're white ... no problem!
The campus has changed drastically since I left. While I was going there, everyone joked that UCI stood for "Under Construction Indefinitely," because the whole place was a construction zone for a few years there. I left while a lot of it was still being built, so I probably wouldn't even be able to walk through campus without getting lost now.
What department are you going into? If it's English, I might be able to recommend some teachers. :)
