Let me start off by saying that UCI *DOES NOT* have the best medical school in Southern California. I don't mean to knock the other reviewers but those reviews were written from pure ignorance. Have we forgotten that Los Angeles is part of Southern California, as well? UCI has a great medical school and a great computer science school.
I've graduated from UCI and the school provided me with everything that I wanted, and more. The campus is large and extremely clean. The city of Irvine is one of the safest cities to live in in the entire nation so student safety isn't something one should be concerned about.

Irvine Valley College Bookstore is a pitiful business, at best. It's located in and operated from a portable facility with limited space for textbooks and other gear. The prices on the books are expensive and with one or two workers working at one time, the checkout lines move VERY SLOWLY. I would recommend buying your textbooks from on-line retailers or on Half.com to save money.

Alakazam Comics is located across the street from the UCI campus. The comic book store has been around for awhile and they sell other goodies, such as toys, and not just comic books. The cost of running a store directly across from UCI is high; therefore, it comes as no surprise that the price of their wares are significantly expensive. The store isn't very big but you will most likely find what you're looking for at Alakazam Comics.

Has your 9 to 5 job gone stale? Are your kids dying of boredom? Take your whole family out to an amusement park! Knott's Berry Farm is fun for the whole family. There are rides for people of all ages. Knott's Berry Farm isn't *cheap* but it's much cheaper than Disneyland. The traffic leading to Knott's Berry Farm isn't as congested as the traffic leading to Disneyland. I would highly recommend visiting Knott's Berry Farm during Halloween, when they're hosting Knott's Scary Farm.

Having visited Italy, I have extremely high standards when it comes to the taste of gelato. I have to admit, the gelato isn't that bad (well, it's hard to really screw up gelato) but it wasn't that good either. The location makes this place very expensive. For those on a budget, I would not suggest eating here.
The store isn't very big so the crowd can fill up REAL quick.

Dr. Rofsky is a friendly Optometrist who'll thoroughly examine you before letting you go. He runs the place along side a receptionist so the wait can be a bit long if you don't make an appointment. Dr. Rofsky provides his advice and will answer any question you might have on contact lenses, glasses, and more. The business is right next to Captain Creame, a strip bar, and is hidden away from the main street and the parking outside is terrible.

I've been going to Dr. Trebon for 3 years. Needless to say, I am sick of going there because of the cavities that they find every time I go in for a checkup. They still use the old method of filling cavities by giving you a shot before the drilling. I have heard of other methods where the patient is not given a shot and a special tool is used to burn the cavity away. The receptionists are VERY nice and personable; however, be aware of the X-Ray specialist. She is rude, vindictive, and immature. We once fought over some trivial matter that embarrassed not only me but her, as a professional dental assistant. The doctors are great but they're always busy and on the run. I have to literally grab onto their coat to have a word with them.

Duler Bang Beauty Salon is one of the busiest salons in all of Garden Grove. Expect to wait anywhere between 30 minutes to over an hour during the afternoon weekend. The business is run by Korean women and it is open to Koreans and non-Koreans alike. Haircut is $15 but includes a thorough shampoo before the cut and a thorough shampoo after the cut. Adding highlights is another $15.
Do not feel intimidated by not being able to speak Korean. The women there speak minimal English and people of all nationalities get their haircuts there.

Thanh My is not only a great restaurant but a great hangout for those with late night cravings. The place is open past midnight and the dishes are extremely cheap. While there may not be much parking directly in front of the restaurant, expect plenty of parking nearby as Thanh My is the only restaurant in business during those late twilight hours.
All customers are expected pay at the front. Do not wait for the check like you would in most restaurants.
