2. Mascot
The official mascot is Gunrock, the offspring of
the triple Crown winner, and race horse, Gunfire. The mascot
lasted into the late 1970, where of which he was replaced by
Ollie the Mustang. Due to confusion, in 2003 Gunrock was
reinstated, and stands as the school mascot today.

9. Mascot
The main one who is the leader of the entourage
and who kills the bull is addressed as maestro and his
formal title is matador de toros (killer of bulls) but the word
"matador" by itself is not used in Spanish. The term torero
encompasses all who fight the bull in the ring. Northridge is
a very dedicated school that places the pride of their school
on the matadors, taking down any completion in their way.

16. Mascot
In 1965, it was decided to let the students choose
the animal that would represent UCI. Students were to
submit their candidates, and the favorites would be voted on
in a campus-wide election. Many animals were considered,
from the golden buffalos, to a unicorn. One day at a Water-
polo match, the players passed out party favors. On the were
the words,” Lets give ‘em the tongue!!” Thus, 56% of the
school voted for the anteater, today named Peter the
Anteater.

23. Social psychology students examine the way
people behave in groups.
Classes cover such topics as:
◦ Social learning theory, group theory and dynamics,
sex roles, criminal behavior, and altruistic behavior
(behavior based on concern for the well-being of
others).
24. Picture your high school cafeteria for a moment. It’s
not just one giant group of students hanging out
together, is it? There are probably more than a few
cliques.
Have you ever wondered how these cliques form? Or
why some kids are more popular than others? Or why
people act one way at home and a completely
different way at school? If you want to explore
questions like these, consider majoring in sociology.
Sociology majors learn
◦ How to study people and the roles they play in society, both
as individuals and in groups.
◦ Course work covers such topics as families, TV and other
mass media, and criminology.
25. When you think of life on earth, your first thoughts
are probably about familiar animals, your pet dog or
cat, the bird you see in the tree outside your window.
But that is really only a small sample of all the types
of life on our planet, which include
plants, bacteria, fungi, and animals in a vast array of
body forms and types.
Biology is the study of
◦ Life, individual organisms, their communities, and the
systems, cells, and processes that make up living matter.
Students of biology undertake a general program in
which they study living organisms and the systems
and processes that permit life. Courses include
◦ Subjects like cell biology, evolutionary biology, marine
biology, and plant biology.
26. All three colleges offer a lot of sports and majors
for students, and also share similar campus’.
Their main differences lie with what their
requirements in courses are, or recommended.
I chose these 3 schools because they have majors
in some of the areas I’m interested in.
I personally love all colleges, but the only downer
would be how far they are from my home.
I believe that my opinion of these colleges has
become more positive. I was worried it would be
hard to understand the requirements, but it turns
out I was nervous over nothing.
