california: I want to apply for the closest universities near Irvine in California for my master's. Would you please give a list of universities near there by distance order? Thank's.|||UC Irvine Cal State Long Beach Cal State Poly Orange After that things get far. Some of these are 30 miles, but understand in California 30 miles is a trip to a movie theater! We used to do 50 miles each way to work! Technically Cal State LA is not all that far Neither is UC Riverside or UC San Bernardino I mean you're talking 1/2 hour drive each way, but that's how long it takes to get on the Pirates of the Carribean from the time you get into line!|||lol it's not UC san bernadino, it's CSU San Bernadino Report Abuse |||no, because if you are a university student you should know which universities are by your house
