💬 Anteater families, we want to hear from you!
Whether your student is just getting started at UC Irvine or is already a seasoned Anteater, there are so many campus resources designed to help students thrive.

What campus resource does your student find most helpful? 🐜💙💛

Maybe it's a favorite study spot, academic support, career resources, student wellness services, basic needs or something completely unexpected!

Share your student's go-to resource in the comments. Your recommendation might help another Anteater discover a resource they didn't know about!
