now that youve graduated from uci what are you doing rn, are you still staying in oc? did u move back? how was uci in general?
your video is the most helpful I seen than from the other tours , thankyou !
Hey are u still at Uci
No actually i'm part of the class of 2022, i graduated in june
Are the towers only for 3 or 4 student dorming together? Or do they offer doubles?
i believe now days they are only triples and quads
incoming freshman this year :)
do they only offer triples to non freshman students?!
i believe they do, during my first year there was a triple on my floor that had a transfer student that isn't a freshman but idk any other cases
Hi, nice video! I heard that mesa don't have AC in their room. I really hate the heat and want cool and nice nighttime, so is the weather in uci cool at night? do u need AC at night? It will be helpful if u can tell me more about that, thx in advance! thumbs up!
thank you for the nice compliment! and unfortunately there are days in irvine that are quite hot you may want AC or at least 1 or 2 fans... however 90-95% of the hot days are a dry heat so if that makes any different you should know that.
Can I have the link to the UCI confession page?
unfortunately i think the admin's took down the page :( maybe someone else wills tart it up again or there's a new one i don't know about
Hi Katie!! I was wondering if you know if triples or doubles in the towers are still available to room in during the fall 2022?
as of right now, it's only quads
I just got into UCI for the 22-23 school year! I was wondering if each room (4 people) get their own bathroom, or is it shared among the whole floor?
CONGRATS! one bathroom for 8 people, there are 2 showers and 2 toilets and 2 sinks in one shared jack and jill bathroom
How hard is CSE itself? How hard are the major classes? How are the professors? And what's the class load like each week?
unfortunately i'm not CSE i'm CpE but regardless of major the study load depends on you as a student and also your schedule. most uci engineering majors have a course pathway you can/should follow so you can see how each quarter's course load would be like when signing up for classes and making your schedule. professors you can look on reddit and ratemyprofessor.com or check with other students. ALL majors have their difficulties butif you have a balanced interest and skill for what you wanna study it definitely helps keep you motivated to stay in it. GOOD LUCK
Just got my housing assignment. So excited to be living here!
great video! question: is the printer included or do you have to bring your own?
thank you! that printer shown is my personal printer, however you're allowed 50 free pages in the dorm community's office (i think per quarter maybe per year) but you can also print from the library :)
I don't remember Frodo and Sam ever coming across one of these towers on the journey.
ahaha true but the books are a bit more specific lol also the towers are names after tree like a tree gate :)
I’m going to pass away tryna fit my 3 bags of clothes into those closets oml
WHAT DO THE DORMS HAVE? IN TERMS OF FURNITURE ..
i have a middle earth tower tour that shows that :) but dorms come with a desk, chair, twin xl bed, closet and 4-7 drawers depending if it's classic or tower style dorm
Hi I chose computer science and engineering as my major but I’m really scared because I don’t really know much about it. I was wondering if you could make a video talking about it or just give suggestions about your major.
I was just wondering if the beds are twin or twin xl ?
twin xl
Great Video!! I got accepted and i’m looking at housing, I was reached out to about “Open House” in Middle Earth in the building Isengard. Do you know if that’s a tower or a classic?
congrats! Isengard is a classic hall
Hello, I am currently freaking out, haha.. I have an -A, B+, and the rest A/A+. I’m going into my Junior year in High School. My school does not provide any AP/Honor classes and barely has any extra-curriculars. I might move High Schools. UCI is my dream school. Do you think this would affect me badly on the chances on me getting in? Do you have any tips on studying for the ACT and/or SAT?
though those classes do help in putting you ahead compared to other students, you have other ways besides sticking to what your high school provides to get in to a university! :) community college classes also can count for AP-like credit, also community and volunteer help outside academic themes are great too! also the way you create and send in your UC application is also a great way to show who you are as a person not just a student, and there's a section where you can explain anything about your experience at your school like covid quarantine if that affected you and your school performance and how your school didn't offer AP's but you went and sought out college courses to get ahead or somethings like that. for studying for ACT and SAT i recommend just doing practice problems and focusing on the concepts you don't really get... also under conditions that are like the real test day, so like the timing and no distractions setup you'll be in also i recommend sat/act study sessions at your local library or other schools hope this helps! good luck!
@@katiegirl Thank you!!!
Hi! What is the size of the mattress you’re given? Twin? Twin XL? Full? Queen?
ha i wish they were queens... the beds are twin xl
@@katiegirl thank you 😊 My loved one starts this coming semester and I wanted to make sure to get them an extra set of bedding. Just in case😉
@@enoughalready8337 that's sweet! congrats to them for starting their uci journey!
@@katiegirl thank you. They’re very excited. UCI was their first choice School.
hi, how do i enroll in courses and where do i check that i'm enrolling into the correct courses?
so you enroll uci webreg (found on the same page as uci's schedule of classes, the top , menu bar, www.reg.uci.edu/perl/WebSoc ) at spop you're given a pathway of graduation paper that would show what most people of that major would take through out 4 years to graduate or you can look it up in your major's school. i know engineering majors have flowcharts but i haven't really seen any other schools/majors do this, you can also check uci's degreeworks (also on the page of uci's schedule of classes page) they'll also show what categories of GE's you'll need to take and how many you have have to complete!
Random question: were you provided with the rolling desk chair? Or is that something I will need to bring when I move in? Your videos are very helpful. Thank you !
it's provided!! glad to hear my videos are helpful!
Omg thank you! I'm a incoming freshmen at uc irvine for the fall :))
congrats! zot zot zot
Same here! See you there! :)

How does UCI determine registration times for each student? If you’re an athlete or have Ap credits do u tend to get priority or how does it work?
i am not sure how being a uci team athlete plays a part in enrolling of classes but it would make sense for them to get a bit of a priority, but yes, having more credits and a higher gpa gets you a earlier enrollment time in your year like if you have a 3.7 and you're a sophomore you'd be part of the earliest sophomores to be apply to enroll in classes, as an incoming freshman, AP credits add to your UCI starting gpa so that will allow you to get an earlier enrollment window
could you describe the social life at middle earth?
well it's what you make of it, most of the social and busy life is at the eateries where the residents and other students/staff eat, on the weekend it's a bit dead cuz uci is a commuting school but if you have a group of people that plans and want to go out and do things then thats fun too! the campus is usual empty on weekends but during events and weekdays it's pretty lively!
hiii!! im incoming freshmen looking to dorm at middle earth towers but i was wondering do they currently have music rooms for ppl to practice or r they only after the pippin renovation
congrats on your admittance ! there are specific halls that are music major halls and they have a piano in their common rooms, but as for music rooms there are practice rooms but i believe that they are only for those majors and you have to have planned/scheduled slots to use them but uci most definitely has them :)
Do you know if the double rooms have shared bathrooms too?
yes, all dorm rooms, (not RA single room) has a shared jack and jill bathroom
hii i just got into uci and was wondering since you said only the laurelin tower has a laundry room, where would people who stay in the other tower do their laundry??
the two towers are connected thru the common lounge and share that entire LT Floor number's laundry room
@@katiegirl ohh ok thank you sm !!
Thank you for your helpful advice ! Just a quick question, I'm thinking about taking a double major on both biochem and pharmaceutical sciences. Do you have any insight about declaring double major in freshman year ? Ty
besides talking to your counselor(s) about this decision, i believe you can't declare a double major until your third year, but you should be taking the classes for the second major along with the other major required classes to be able to declare. good luck!
Thank you for this helpful video! Are the floors in the tower mix-gendered? Or are there single-gendered floors in the towers?
floors are gender mixed, but rooms are not
Thank you for the video! It is just what I was looking for to get info about the dorms! Do we have to pay at the laundry room for using the washer & dryer???
yes! you will need a debit card (or credit) to swipe! unfortunately flextime dollars don’t work :( i have tried
Thank you for this helpful video!! Is there an official UCI housing portal where you can find roommates or a FB/Instagram? Also, is there a difference between Middle Earth and Middle Earth Towers?
usually there’s a fb page like “uci class of 2025” etc that’s public you join and people throw out “looking for roommate in mesa court for a double” or something like that and you say what you’re majoring in, hobbies, interests etc. un the for the towers, well middle earth is closer to stem classes (not ge’s sometimes) and mesa is closer to humanities, middle earth is newer but both types are the newest forms around.
@@katiegirl Ok, thank you so much!!!
I got into UCI! Congrats to everyone else who got in! Me and my friend are thinking of getting a double here :)
Do all housing dorms on campus have a laundry room?
I know you mentioned that it was a rumor that the rooms would all be quads in the future, but by chance do you know if it’s true? I already found a roommate....might need to look for more lol.
i believe that due to covid the rooms will either be doubles or singles. for this year
hey! i was just accepted into uci and was wondering if housing in the middle earth towers in a triple room, would you have to pay more? how does applying to dorms and housing work? loved the video hehe it was very informational!
congrats on being accepted in! so usually the more people in the room the less you have to pay, but triples in the towers are more expensive than triples in the classics (mostly cuz uci knows their popular and newer) but a triple in the towers is cheaper than a double in the towers. the least expensive dorming cost is a quad (also in the towers). in terms of applying for dorm, you'll most likely receive an email from uci housing with a link for you to make your preferences in dorm life layouts and roommates. it's been a while, but there will be a housing portal for you to access with your uci id and net id (the name before the @ in your uci email) that would allow you to apply. good luck and congrats!
love you videos!:) I just got accepted and I want to live in a double in middle earth, do you know how to go about that?
orr is there no double?
CONGRATS ON ACCEPTANCE! at the moment due to covid it's unsure how they'll setup the rooming for the dorms, but usually they would send out an email seying you can sign up for housing and room preferences if they have not said already, there you can put your preference of room size and layout, like double middle earth because that's what you want or if you change your mind it could be tripe middle earth towers, etc. i believe it's thru your housing portal or an email you'd do this
Hi! I recently got accepted into UCI and I wanted to ask how the staff/teachers are? Are they caring and considerate?
CONGRATS ON ADMISSION!! uh it's hard to say because i don't know all the staff/professors, but most people here at uci are nice and will try to do their best to help you and they are, majority, nice and have common courtesy however the most of the people that don't fit this mold are professors, they control their own classes and some are really tough and they take pride in that, others will listen to the students and be reasonable... you have to take it with ag rain of salt, but that goes for all college campuses not just uci
@@katiegirl thank you so much! And I really appreciate you replying this helped a lot I hope you have a nice day :)
Thank you so much for these helpful videos😭 also .. I know there are lots of Asian Americans, but do you also mean like Indians too? Bc I know some ppl say Asians and then don’t rlly include south Asians lol
yes there are many Indian students on campus as well
Was it hard to get housing in the Middle East towers?
nope! all i did was preference it and i got it
Just got accepted!
Hey so just a suggestion... I think this video would be more entertaining and informative to watch if there were pictures of the UCI campus 😅
Hey! I rlly rlly liked your video, way better than the official UCI one 😭. I just got in as a Pub health major and will be attending for fall 2021. Was wondering how exactly you “choose” to live in the towers. Is there certain things you should put on the housing app to increase your chances of getting into the towers? Again, thanks for the great video 🥰
CONGRATS!! i had a pub health class last quarter! so for getting into the towers you can put down your preferences of what type of dorm setting you'd like (like classics or towers) however due to covid, the dorms may still have weird layouts/room choices. but it's really hard to say cuz everything is on a hopeful reach of in-person courses. in terms of having a higher preference to be placed in the towers...before covid i heard of people that applied/preference the tower with a full room (like a triple: already having 3 people wanting to live with each other, or a full quad: four people set on dorming together) had a better chance than a single person wanting to live in the towers... also to add to that idea, having 2 people set and ready to live with each other in the quad layout has a better chance than a single person trying to join a group, if that makes sense. i must say, uci is pretty good at accommodating students' requests/wants but it's just not guaranteed so don't count of anything being 100% set in stone) GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATS
@@katiegirl Thanks so much, this was really helpful! I hope the rest of your time at UCI goes well. Look forward to being an anteater 🥰
is it typically more difficult get into the towers when applying for housing? i’m applying next year and i would love to dorm in the towers but concerned it won’t be easy or likely i would be able to.
usually there's more competition for the towers in both housing communities so it's a "yes" but with a grain of salt, UCI tends to accommodate for your requests you input but it's not guaranteed.
I’m applying to UCI for fall 2021 public health major I’m a California CC transfer student with a 3.5 I’m first generation and Mexican I really want to go to UCI because the public health program, financial aid, and they have Eops. Hopefully 🙏🏻 I get in.
good luck! i hope you get in!!!
Nice. Have you gotten a responce yet?
They have EOP program? I thought only 4 UC schools have it, which are Berkeley, SB, SC and Davis?
