Los Angeles, CA
University of California-Los Angeles

I love UCLA. I wake up every day, surrounded by beautiful trees, a diverse group of people, and cute little campus squirrels at UCLA. I wake up, in awe by the amount of already-successful people I get to learn from and who inspire me every day to be the best me I can be! Although an institution like UCLA can give one some imposter syndrome due to its competitive nature, UCLA is big on mental health and physical well-being, which makes me even more grateful to be a bruin! Although UCLA is not perfect, for example, I do not think it is the best campus for people who are in wheelchairs, etc. One can walk easily 3 miles at UCLA every day. It's on its hilly landscape, so be prepared; its a lot more strenuous on the body when not in-shape than a tour-guide may make it seem. Also, there is a vibe where "research is more important than teaching," which I believe philosophically to be wrong. And I am sure many professors will agree with me, but be wary for those professors and teaching assistants who may not care for teaching! Also, as I am sure you've heard, the food is pretty good. I wouldn't say, "wonderful"—I feel it has been overhyped... But the dining halls are good, and the dorm life is fun. You can not be bored unless you try to be. UCLA is tough academically. My cousin told me not to apply to any UC. I am jovial I did and despite the odds got in, and love it. Overall if UCLA is your dream school, apply, it's excellent, and if you put in the work, your mind will expand beyond measure!

This school is overhyped in theory. Once you get here, it's just like every other school. You get in, and you do your work just like everywhere else. However, the food here is extremely delicious and varies in content, which is also nice. The quality of people you meet here will differ based on the type of people that you are potentially looking for. The minority populations here are very small, and the retention of those students isn't the top priority of the school, which is kind of transparent. A lot of minority students have thoughts of dropping out and the university doesn't give them the support they need to want to even be able to stay.

It is a beautiful campus that Im glad I got to visit. All of the students there seem to absolutely love it. Ive heard of many people who went to UC Davis becoming very successful and happy with their college experience. The only critique I would give it is that the tuition cost is very high.

University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) is ranked as the #1 Public School in the nation. They are ranked that position for a reason; the food is exquisite and tasteful, and the classrooms are filled with high level thinkers and future change-makers. The recreational facilities are top notch and so are the sports. Everyone on campus is a Proud Bruin, "Hailing to the hills of Westwood" any time, any day.

The campus moral is very uplifting for a college campus. Though it is very competitive, the school culture is about encouraging one another. Just in being a visitor I was able to recognize the amazing facilities, students, and overall campus are all aspects of making this an amazing school.

Great research university with amazing academics and accessibility to resources. Students have the ability to pursue leadership opportunities, community service, and find access to greater involvements in whatever they do. Campus support is overall good for mental health and primary care services although there is an opportunity for even more resources considering the world-class healthcare institution it has in its hospital.

UCLA is a great school and the spirit here is very exciting. Everyone you meet are great people and the school tries its best to keep their students safe. When it comes to classes its very important to know where the class is located beforehand because it is time consuming trying to find it during week 0. On-campus housing is amazing, however, the elevators in the old buildings do break down here and there but the maintenance people do fix them right away. Campus requires a lot of walking so having comfortable shoes are required.

I have only been at UCLA for only two months, but what I have seen so far has been great! The professors and TA's have been helpful. However, the Getty Fire is currently very near the school yet classes are ongoing and there are still students living on campus.

As a person whos ben on this c campus many times to tutor or even to go on games. I can truly say this is one of the best campus to explore and look at. Ever single time I went o a trip to this lovely camps their was something new to learn. I believe if I had a chance to go here I would choice this campus as my home.

My overall opinion on the University of California is that the atmosphere really brought alive a part of me that I loved! The energy was the best the campus is nice, the people are nice. I love the fact that there are sorority's!
