(The Lack of) Nightlife at UC Irvine
In the wonderful and ever-so beautiful city of Irvine, there are no clubs to be found. When I say that there are clubs to be found, I mean that there are absolutely no clubs whatsoever. Whether you are over 21 or underage, you won't get to find much of a nightlife within the city limits. There are, however, alternate destinations if you are willing to take a drive out to Los Angeles. LA, of course, offers a variety of choices that cannot simply be summarized here. There are a couple of Orange County spots as well. However, keep in mind that many of these clubs are populated by an older, non-diverse crowd (mostly Asians/Hispanics). If you're in search of decent, large parties, your best bet is to become part of the Greek scene.

UCI Police/General Administrative Experiences
If you have had experiences with Irvine cops in general, you'll kind of begin to realize that such manners carry over to the UCI Police Department as well. It's not to say that all of these cops are bad people. However, a majority of them are clearly intent on upholding the clean 'Irvine' image.
I've personally had some unpleasant dealings with UCI's strict adherence to their administrative policies, especially when it comes to money. However, I've had some positive experiences such as having successfully contested multiple parking tickets.
It all comes down to you - if you mess up once in a while, you should float on alright. But if you're counting on the school being relaxed on its policies, then you're probably better off partying somewhere else.

All Southern California
What can I say? We get many cloudless and sunny days that are perfect for hitting the beach. Winter's not too cold and Spring weather is usually fantastic. It does get a little too hot over summer, however. But I suppose that can be remedied by a quick trip to the beach!
