seeing many of other UC campuses, I would say this one I would rank at top tier. Every UC has similar issues, Upper class students get priority in class selection etc. Then dorm selection, first come first serve but then there are exceptions and priorities so it is what it is in those situations. Campus impressions overall, lots of construction going on, seems they are ramping up and heard they are expanding their programs which is why there is such much everywhere. The campus is beautiful, well maintained and vibe is just really nice can't explain it. At first seems like huge campus but when you walk and walk you realize it is manageable and the 10k steps seem like nothing, there is adequate on campus dining not over abundant but ok, and it gets very busy at times just eat at odd hours then it won't be busy right? There seems to be problem with theft, like bikes, scooters, etc. It's open campus no gates or anything so not sure how that can be solved. The Gym is probably the best in all the UC schools, it's fairly newly built across multiple levels and only thing missing is a bungee jumping, yes, it's that well equipped, better than some gyms you see out in the real world TBD. you can purchase reasonable guest passes by being a guest of a student. Parking can get a little confusing, wish they have more clear directions especially for guests, you end up parking and hoping you don't get a ticket. or you can find street parking far from the campus and walk there or park at the nearby park. read more
