Students Love Their UCI Experience!

UCI feels like a second home to me. The experience at UCI made a big change in me personally. It helped me improve my communication skills, interact more easily, and made me much more confident in presenting and speaking in front of people. Now, I am way more open-minded which is essential for networking and making connections. Additionally, I gained a lot of business knowledge that I will be able to apply in my future career in order to establish my own business.”
