UCI Student Center

I have been to the UCI Student Center several times. The center is poorly designed, from its outdated décor to its inefficient use of space. The restrooms are typically dirty and the toilet paper is a thin, recycled 1-​ply.

Great campus.

Great atmosphere, where young people exercise their right to learn…

Great services, free WiFi, and fantastic meeting rooms. The staff was friendly, the washroom facilities were clean, and was close to parking. All additional shops are closed Sunday, so remember to grab coffee before arriving.

The best part about student center is the pub. Literally the best food on campus and perhaps the most fun spot to chill during breaks with pitchers of delicious beer!
Also extremely happy that they added an extra Bank of America atm. The line for the atms are usually such a hassle and long wait, but since the extra addition, it’s sped up the process of getting cash!
Student center is an awesome place to hang out, study, and watch events that are usually held there.

This is my alumni school! I love the area, especially since they added the extra shaded area when I graduated. It has a pretty medium size stage that most dancers and performers show off their talents. However, it has been a place where many crazy Christian people try to convert students. They stand with their stupid signs and tell me I am going to hell. If you could ignore the crazy Christian people and don’t mind the large population of Asians, then this is the place for you.

I teach lectures in this building and am impressed by its upkeep. The student personnel are fast, efficient, and really responsive when I’m locked out of my room or am missing supplies.
Plus, the restrooms are kept really clean and I am giving this place 5 stars because I feel pretty comfortable dropping a deuce here. What more can you ask for from a public space?

Came here to see my sister’s Vagina Monologue performance. The seat capacity was pretty big and from where I was sitting I had a good view and could hear the performers. The bathrooms were nice and clean too. I didn’t really have a chance to wander around though.

WOW… is this a University or is this a major shopping center? Stopped by because I had a few minutes and I was already in the area. I even went to UCI and I don’t recognize the campus. It’s amazing how many more buildings have been built, how much larger the campus looks and nicer and how professional it all is.
Great facilities if nothing else. From what I remember, great school as well.

Navigating through UCI was much simpler in comparison to other universities. I was able to figure it out quite nicely. It was a good experience overall.

This is a beautiful building on campus! They have a number of ballrooms inside the student center that are used for special events and they are all spacious and clean. Also scattered throughout the building are study nooks and chairs. It’s a good place to review material if you like white noise in the background. Overall it’s a beautiful building with plenty of space and amenities for special events.

Great event space and food court.

Free snacks during finals week. What more can you ask for?!
Also, it is always kept clean! I have been to other schools’ student centers and it pretty much looked like a pig stye :/​
If you’re part of a club and you need to rent out a room for a banquet or dance, the Student Center will hook you up with one!
Even if you’re not part of a club and need to rent one for a business meeting or what not, I highly recommend UCI’s Student Center.
ZOT ZOT ZOT.

We used the Student Center’s Pacific Ballrooms for our wedding ceremony and reception. It was amazing. They helped us set up (we did a ton of DIY) and take down. They even helped us load our car back up! They went above and beyond by doing things our florist was supposed to do but never did. They were constantly there for us.
I had emailed our coordinator questions like crazy. She always emailed me back promptly with fantastic responses. In the end, she made the rooms look great. I was so happy.
All the little things that they did for us that day were unexpected and fantastic. There was a congratulations card in my getting ready room. Both of the ready rooms had emergency kits in them with everything you could need and chocolate!
They really went above and beyond. It isn’t a usual space that one thinks of when planning a wedding, but it worked well for us and our guests loved it as well.
There is an adorable outdoor area for ceremonies in Aldrich Park. Since we were a January wedding, I chose not to use it, but it really is gorgeous.
Plus you get a discount if you are alumni!
