Hi all,
Did anyone get admission offers from UCI?
If so, is anyone going to accept the offer? What kind of housing options are you going to look for?
I am currently deciding on if I should accept the offer, which comes with full fundings plus a minimum guaranteed stipend.
What has been bugging me a lot is the living expenses associated with it, as I have no clear idea of how horrible it could get.
While some of my friends have been encouraging me to accept the offer, many have been condemning the idea- stating that there's no way I could live a life with the current stipend I am being offered.
I certainly would love to accept the offer rightaway, but found that rashing to make a decision ended up with more cons than pros.
Does anyone who has an insight to life @ UCI mind sharing his/her experience here? Something like a rough estimate of monthly expense there, with or without car, miscellanous spendings, and etc.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
