UCI is close to the beaches, mountains, and attractions of Southern California. Disneyland is approximately 20 minutes away by car. While the university is located in Irvine, the campus is directly bounded by the city of Newport Beach and the community of Newport Coast.

Each of these living arrangements has a different cost. To assist you in planning, the budgets below are the estimated expenses for 2017-18.
