University of California-Los Angeles Top Questions

What do you brag about most when you tell your friends about your school?

Kaitlyn

First of all, this being UCLA, I brag about how I'm attending the second highest ranked public school in the nation. I am also very proud of the campus itself, which is stunning, and about the many resources UCLA students are given access to, such as the massive colloections of books in the libraries, interlibrary exchange programs, and online archives.

Susanna

Not a hard school. Proffesors are very helpful.

Daniel

Just the name of the school sounds prestigous and is a school that is very sought after. Also, it is a world renowned research university in which major experiments take place. I also talk about our sports teams and how they have won the most NCAA championships in the country.

Steven

Our school is primarily focused on research and career-based opportunities that concentrate on pushing students to excel both academically and extracurricularly. A very large majority of students on campus eventually progress to graduate school, medical school or law school, or join the work force to become successful businessmen and businesswomen. In addition, our school's athletics are a huge part of our school spirit, and the variety of on-campus clubs and activities allow for as much artistic, athletic and social diversity as possible.

Lisa

The year I was accepted, their were over 55,000 applicants, the most of any college in the country. UCLA is the first college ever to win over 100 NCAA championships. Beyond the school's renowned academics and research, my school is regularly chosen as the location for many popular television and movie sets. Love the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? Or maybe you're a fan of comedies like Legally Blonde or Old School? Well guess what? My campus is home to a majority of those scenes and episodes! Best of all, I am a Bruin for life.

Si(Simon)

How hostile most of the people are and how pathetic people treats others like.

Gina

how close it is to home and how it's near the city

Ashley

the internships and the job opportunities available

Estee

I got into one of the most applied to universities in America that accepts applications from all over the world.

Dionna

I would have to say that I brad mostly about our athletics. We are very good at basketball. Before this year we went to the NCAA Final Four Championship three years in a row. Although we are in a current rebuilding phase in football, I still brag because we have a very rich history in all of our sports which makes me very proud to be a Bruin!

Shawn

The size and scale of the university.

Melanie

When I brag to my friends about UCLA, the first thing I would tell them is how many diverse individuals there are, and how interacting with them can enlighten you and change your perception on life. You can learn through each person on this campus about their own knowledge on a particular subject and of their cultural backgrounds. During my first 3 months at UCLA, I was able to learn to say hello in fifteen different languages. I learned more of diverse linguistics in three months at UCLA than I have my entire life prior.

Marcos

The best thing about my college is the people and city my college is in, Los Angeles. Los Angeles, is such a great city to go to school at with the warm sun and great beaches. Starting my career as a dancer I am able to work for some small dance troupes and then I will be able to move into larger dance troupes, that will help me train and graduate for major. Giving a person a larger chance to find a job and experience that living in this city will most certainly guarantee.

alfonso

It is one of the best schools in the country.

Colleen

The diversity, social life, attractive campus, engaging teachers and opportunites the school offers.

nothing

Lawrence

I almost always point out the quality of the academic side of the school, which to say the least is world class, the range of opportunities that are available to achieve a variety of goals,both personal and career driven. School sports, would be another major point I would throw out, given that we have amazing school spirit, and commanding teams. Finally I would mention the quality of the social life that is present on, and off campus. From social events to get togethers, there is always a good vibe that is always evident.

How beautiful the school is, from the quality of campus to the dorms, dining facilities, and architecture. Also just the college life in general and how safe the area is. It's nice to just walk around at night and wander...hang out. There's so much to do in LA and we're close to all of it! I also absolutely love my major, which I think is partly due to how awesome some of the professors are. I like to brag about the awesome things we learn and do, especially the hands on experience we get.
