The numerous unique spots on UCI campus embody our school’s individuality and intrigue. Here are three that I visited today:
The Science Library is one of the largest science-related libraries in the nation, home to several on-campus programs such as the Campuswide Honors Collegium (CHC), Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program (UROP), and Scholarship Opportunities Program (SOP). This location is a perfect quiet spot to study between classes!
The Jao Family Sculpture Garden, located in Aldrich Park, depicts important Chinese historical figures like statesman Qu Yuan and philosopher Lao Zi. If you are curious about Chinese culture and would like to learn more about the sculpted figures, I would recommend visiting this artistic display of cultural appreciation.
The Maya Lin Water Table was designed by architect Maya Lin, who won the design competition for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. The reflection of the trees in the water is a beautiful sight, certainly fitting as the centerpiece of the Arts Plaza.
Despite my lack of photography skills (you’ll have to excuse the poor lighting and camera angles), I had fun navigating my way around UCI and finding only a few of its many unique locations. I encourage you to wander our beautiful campus when you feel the urge to take a break from a sedentary studying session. Enjoy what UCI has to offer!
