I am proud to call UCLA my home for the next four years.

I really try not to. I used to talk about how good the food was and how smart the proffessors are but now I try to reserve any comments about the school. I would rather describe the struggles and shortages that one encounters in college.

The professors here are witty (sometimes a bit dry, but still funny), brilliant, and yet still completely approachable.

But students have, quiet literally, over hundreds of options per meal, considering that UCLA has four dining halls and several cafes. And the best of all? The diverse, welcoming, genuine, and talented student body!

UCLA has history and a legacy of everything that a public university should have: the dedication of staff, faculty, and especially the involvement of students in shaping that history. UCLA is an academic institution, but throughout our history, students have stepped up and demanded more from their experience. Every year, hundreds of student organizations function with different interests, providing everyone an opportunity to get involved.

I also like our residential area because the buildings are nice and grouped near each other. You get a real sense of community when you live on-campus. There is also a really good balance between academics and social life. The classes teach you a lot and challenge you, but you can also go out and have fun with friends on the weekends.

Enthusiasm is infectious, and I've understood that most at this school. The people here genuinely want to be here; they do good work because they can't stand to do less.

I brag about out athletic teams. Im a walk-on on the Track and Field team and being part of the athletic family is wonderful and not everyone has the chance to be a part of that type of family.

All of out athletic teams are great and the athletes themselves are wonderful people to be around and are definetly worth bragging about.

I brag about the level of athletics at our school as well as the high level of academics required to get here.

I love how UCLA is integrated with the greater Los Angeles community. While the academic opportunities in the classroom are phenomenal, UCLA offers students the chance to learn from experience in the surrounding city. With a well-developed community service network, organized trips to cultural hot spots, and a superb location in West Los Angeles, students are encouraged to take advantage of everything this city has to offer. Some of the most important life lessons I've learned at UCLA were from experiences in the city.
