Humor

• The acronym UCI has often been jokingly claimed to stand for "Under Construction Indefinitely" (due to the recent surge of growth and construction activity on campus), or "University of Chinese Immigrants" and "Under Chinese Invasion" (due to UCI's exceptionally high number of Asian American, more specifically Chinese, students). It has also been said to stand for "University of Civics and Integras" because of the predilection for these two types of cars (popular as rice burners) among the highly Asian student population.
• Because of UCI's lack of a football team and general apathy towards athletics, some students enjoy making sarcastic comments about how "Anteater football remains undefeated!".
