What is life like for Indian Students at the University of California Irvine?

Some key features of the life of an Indian student at UC Irvine are as follows:

• On-campus housing at UC Irvine's apartments (Campus Village, Palo Verde, Verano Place, and the American Campus Communities (ACC)) is guaranteed for Indian students enrolled in MFA, JD, PhD, Prome-LC, LEAD-ABC, and MSTP-MD/PhD programs or in the first-two years of UG studies

My day starts with three lectures during the morning, followed by practical sessions, and concludes with peer sessions. There are many student clubs and societies that support Indian students like me both financially and emotionally. Overall, I am very satisfied with my program here at UCal Irvine.
