College introduction: The Irvine Branch of the University of California, founded in 1965, is one of the three new branches of the University of California system (UC SAN DEIGO, UC IRVINE, UC Santa Cruz)。 The school is located in IRVINE, Orange County, about 50 miles south of Los Angeles, Southern California. It is the second youngest campus among the ten campuses in the enlarged system. Because of its late establishment and open school spirit, it is very receptive to new culture and ideas. The excellent geographical location, excellent learning and living environment, and the support of a large number of high-tech enterprises in Orange County make the school the fastest growing branch school in the system. Its comprehensive reputation is second only to UC Berkeley and UCLA.

Course introduction: When you are in a sea of people, when you drive in traffic jam, when you hear the noise, how do you feel? Have you ever thought that by changing the settings of work and living environment, you can reduce stress and improve efficiency? These problems belong to the category of environmental psychology. Environmental psychology is an applied social psychology field that studies the relationship between environment and human psychology and behavior, also known as human ecology or ecological psychology.
