Hi folks! I've been considering the University of California system and I'm intrigued by UC Irvine. But geography-wise, where exactly is UC Irvine located?
Hello! UC Irvine is located in Irvine, California, which is in the southern part of the state in Orange County. It's roughly an hour's drive south from Los Angeles and about 20 minutes inland from the Pacific Ocean. The city of Irvine is known for its planned communities and is often recognized as a safe, family-friendly location with easy access to both the beach and larger cities. Hope this helps clarify its geography for you!
