Sleep
The following are accomodations located within Irvine, you can find a full list of recommendations from a resource page on UCI website.
The UC Irvine campus is about 4 miles from Orange County John Wayne Airport (SNA). OCTA bus 76 stops at the airport, but doesn’t go directly to UCI. OCTA service is limited on the weekend, so taking a taxi to the campus will save you a lot of time.
UC Irvine has negotiated discounted rates with many hotels near the airport and UCI (in Costa Mesa, Irvine and Newport Beach). Contact the hotel directly and let them know you chose their hotel from the UCI listing to get the UCI discount rate. Several hotels provide a shuttle to/from the airport, and to/from UCI. Be sure to verify with the hotel whether shuttle service is offered and whether there is a fee for this service. There is a drop-off zone on Peltason Dr. near the Engineering quad.
UC Irvine has short-term on-campus housing in Campus Village 2-bedroom student apartments. Rates are $76/night single, and $100/night double. It is suggested you reserve on-line well in advance. Payment is due in full at time of check-in at the Campus Village Housing Office. Payments can be made in the form of cash, personal check, travelers check, money order (payable to “Regents U.C.”) or university recharge. Visa and Mastercard payments will be accepted, but the processing of a Visa/MasterCard payment must occur at least 10 days prior to check-in date. You will be asked to provide your Visa/Mastercard information on your confirmation form in order for them to manually process this information. They will not accept credit card payments at the time of check-in. Post in the forum if you need a roommate.
