Los Angeles, CA
University of California-Los Angeles

As a UCLA campus tour guide, I can tell you all about UCLA's basic facts: that over half of our student body participates in undergraduate research, that we have the best dining hall food in the country, that there are over 1200 clubs that you can join to make this school feel like home. But what truly makes UCLA special isn't just how incredibly gorgeous our university grounds are, the caliber of our professors, the huge number of events and activities that happen on and off campus weekly to help round out your life beyond academics, or the feeling you get when doing an 8 clap with thousands of other students at a football game. What makes UCLA my happiest place on earth are the students. This university is home to some of the most collaborative students you will ever meet. I like to say that I've learned more than I ever thought possible through my classes, however, I've probably learned twice as much from my peers. People are excited to share their passions with you and I promise you that you'll find yourself excited about some topic that you had never even heard of before a classmate mentions it. UCLA students are inspiring, driven, intelligent, and one of a kind, and they made attending this university the best four years of my life.

The University of California-Los Angeles has something for everyone. The options for sporting events to attend, clubs to join, research to partake in, classes to take, and people to meet are seemingly endless. A school with boundless possibilities, however, requires a student who is independent and willing to meet the challenges that may arise from navigating a school that, at times, is overwhelming. However, the rewards of attending a world-renowned institution with the opportunity to be surrounded by top-notch researchers and inspiringly intelligent and innovative peers are well worth any obstacles that come with attending UCLA.

A big school with a lot of heart and spirit. UCLA has great academics and sub-communities everywhere if you look for it. The culture around sporting events of all types is hard to beat and cultural activities such as plays, musical performances, art shows and dance recitals are always available. I miss my peers and my professors, even when the classes were tough. Everyone is there to challenge and encourage you (but watch out for those pre-med students, they can be ruthless). The beauty of UCLA is that you can find a niche anywhere, or fly under the radar incognito if you want. The school is your oyster! Go Bruins!

UCLA was a great school. it taught me how to be independent and look out for myself. No one will hold your hand through college. You will need to learn how to take charge of your own education, both inside and outside the classroom. There are plenty of social activities available as long as you seek them out.

The University of California, Los Angeles is an amazing school. While people have be intimidated by the size, since there are upwards of thirty two thousand undergraduate students, they will be quick to find that the school is not as big as it seems! Some classes have three hundred students, but there are always discussions or labs that are much more intimate. These sections may only be twentyfive students, so you have plenty of one-on-one time with TAs to ask questions. Another great thing about UCLA is that there are so many clubs and activities. Every day, there is something new happening on campus. Everyone is so diverse and unique, making UCLA such an exciting school!

This option was not available, but I was a Molecular, Cell, Developmental Biology major at UCLA. I both liked and disliked UCLA. I liked it because of the number of opportunities that existed. You could go to a different organization meeting every day of the week and get amazing opportunities. You could do it all! But, the classes were tough. It is not like high school where if you understand the chapter, you know what is going to be on the test. Sometimes the tests are written by graduate students who haven't attended a single lecture and don't know what the professor is teaching. It sucks. But, I feel like you can offset that by going to the test bank and doing previously submitted tests as practice. You will have to put extra effort into your studying here!

Going to UCLA had always been a dream of mine, and I worked hard to make that dream a reality. I graduated last year with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. It is one of the most amazing parts of Los Angeles and Southern California as a whole. I intend to go back to this very school in the Fall 2020 to pursue my career goal of obtaining my Master's in Social Work. UCLA is definitely an a place that is difficult to describe you have to experience it for yourself.

I feel that UCLA is a great place to be and I feel lucky to be studying at a great university like UCLA. The campus is a great environment and we have some of the best professors there are. I feel that I am furthering my education at a very great place.

My experience at UCLA was phenomenal. From the education, career opportunities, student organizations and network, I really enjoyed my time at school. However, for bachelor of arts degrees, the school is very theoretical based, which is something to consider when selecting colleges.
