Events"I made sure that I went to practically every workshop and event that was offered during the program. Thanks to that, I met good friends and found out which activities I really liked." -Freshman Summer Start Participant
Make friends before you even start class in a special half-day Freshman Summer Start Program Welcome Event. Then, during the program you will have ample opportunities to immerse yourself in college life by participating in exclusive academic workshops and seminars, and in social events such as a talent show, BBQs, and pool and pizza parties. In addition, you will enjoy full-access to the Anteater Recreation Center, which in part includes a climbing wall, cardio and weight equipment, basketball and squash courts, and a swimming pool. See the Event Listing for a complete list of anticipated events.
"For me, starting my UCI experience with Freshman Summer Start meant the difference between a rocky, stressful transition and a smooth, exciting one. In those short five weeks, I've made friends and memories that will last me a lifetime."
