With UC Irvine’s ideal Southern California location – between Los Angeles and San Diego and surrounded by coastline, mountains and desert – students have a wealth of recreational and cultural options and venues.
The Irvine Ranch Land Reserve includes 37,000 acres designated by the U.S. Department of the Interior as a National Natural Landmark. And from nearby Disneyland and other theme parks to the Orange County Performing Arts Center and the South Coast Repertory Center, there’s always something to do.
