UCI named among 3 healthiest colleges in West

Greatist, a website that promotes healthy, real-world lifestyles, has named UCI one of the three healthiest campuses in the western U.S. “UCI’s campus caters to people who love being outside,” the editors said, highlighting dedicated bike paths and the 71 sailing, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding classes offered at Newport Beach’s Marina Park. Also getting a shoutout were 300 inside courses ranging from belly dancing and indoor cycling to paleo cooking and taekwondo. In addition, UCI scored points for its on-campus social workers, programs dedicated to helping victims of sexual assault, wellness workshops and LGBTQ mentoring program.
