I'm considering applying to University of California Irvine, but I'm curious about the size of their student population. Does anyone know the approximate number of students? Is it a big or small campus vibe?
UC Irvine has a relatively large student population. As of Fall 2023, there are 35,376 students enrolled, with approximately 29,503 undergraduates and 5,873 graduate students.
Given its size, UC Irvine has a big campus vibe with a variety of resources and opportunities for students. The campus covers around 1,500 acres, so there's plenty of space to explore and find your niche within the community. That being said, you can still find smaller, close-knit groups within the larger student population by joining clubs, organizations, or other campus activities tailored to your interests.
