Sort By: [Date] [Major] [Rating] Geography and Geosciences  Major Salary, Salary Trend, Satisfaction, Unemployment Bright I am a transfer student and I was lured in by the money and the name. UCLA offered me the best financial aid package and I figured that geology programs were basically similar no matter where you went. I was wrong! Within the first 3 weeks of my first quarter I was very dissapointed by my level of instruction in my major classes. So much so that I applied again for transfer to 3 more schools. One of which was an original thought, SDSU. So now I will be attending SDSU this upcoming fall. Facilities here were a joke, old equipment left out, disorganized materials left unkept. I mean really people, take care of your stuff. Class discussions by instructors were a joke, most times being written as the class was walking in to class. Lectures are just that, but at the instructors level, no mention of special terms are defined for "new" people, aka students. There is the feeling that most professors just come in, read their power point presentation, which any 4th grader could do, then leave and have maybe 1 office hour that week. Students in my department are very unaware of their resources, be it our computer lab with free printing, our advising faculty, department activites. Some students who have been here for 2 years don't even know abou this stuff. As for the rest of the staff, the departmental leadership is poor if it even exists. Department chair and vice chair are not even remotely interested in students unless you have their class and are involved in working with them. I hear this department has lost some geology faculty in the last few years and this may the reason for my poor review. But departmentally, and organizationally, this place is a mess. People seem to want to stay out the way of students so they don't have to do their jobs. Test material is useless. The work to learning ratio is very high. I do not recommend this place for incoming geology students/transfers. Campus Aesthetics: A, Education Quality: F Have a Question?

There are tons of internships and part-time jobs available as well with it being in Los Angeles, the movie/television capital of the world. There are some minor things I don't like including some of the arrogance of the professors (they've worked on shows or films, so they have somewhat of an elitist streak) and the overwhelming sense of competition, but other than that, this is one of the best places to go if you want to do film or television production.

I am an unusual art student and I have found a home here. UCLA is a very big school with endless possibilities. It is not like some small LAC where you are stuck in a very limited path. Here you can spread your wings and fly!!!!!!!!! My roomies are cool, but then so am I. The people who complain are a very definite type. They want everything their way and no give in anything. You have to be flexible. Have fun and be nice. Go to class, do your work and smile. Classes are difficult and challenging, especially in the arts because everything is so subjective. Go with the flow and continue to grow! Oh, I am poetic today. I am a shining UCLA star. Education Quality: A+, Individual Value: A Have a Question?
