A person in my program switched from a PhD in Comp Lit at Davis, so that's not a stellar recommendation. But it depends what you're doing. Their program is insanely small and there's no way my interests would fit. Maybe yours will. As with all UCs that are not Berkeley or Los Angeles, get a clear picture of funding. I've heard their funding is not guaranteed, which, if true, is definitely a reason to cross them off your list.

To echo smellybug, funding at any UC other than Berkeley is not guaranteed. Even if it looks like they've offered you a full package make sure it will be guaranteed for the full five years. A friend of mine was straight up told by a professor at Irvine not to apply because the funding package would be diabolical.
