I
never knew I could ever fall in love with a
school until I got to UCLA. I wasn't madly in
love with it, until the start of my second year.
I was one of those antisocial nerds in high school,
I won't lie.. haha, so transitioning was kind of scary.
I finally broke free and now am completely happy.
I feel like this school has everything located in a
nice little bubble. It was scary moving to LA, but
UCLA made the transition a lot easier. Not only does
UCLA excel in academics, it also excels in sport too,
which has made my college experience totally amazing ( I
used to hate sports.) Academics-wise, it is challenging, be prepared
to work hard, but I'm sure that this is the
same for any other college. Classes are sometimes hard to
get, but if you came in with a ton of
AP units, it will be fine ( I didn't but
still am on track to graduate in 4 years.) Many
people ( not all...) are very smart, and the competition
can be seen.. espeically in science classes, but that will
just motivate you to work a little harder. The professors
are good, not wonderful, many are very robotic, and just
read the lecture notes off the screen. I've had many
new professors, and many foreign professors, so that was a
little bit challenging. There's a lot of self-study for the
science classes, it's not because the teacher can't teach, it's
because the students often fall behind and not read ahead
( or not attend lecture.. it's easy when there's 300
people in it.) There's decent free tutoring service on “the
hill.” There's always a place to turn to when you
need help. When you look around campus, you
really can't help but fall in love with the beautiful
brick buildings and green grass, the weather is perfect almost
everyday. The food is AMAZING. I love dorm food. I
know I got sick of it after my first year,
but I was just being spoiled. After I moved out
onto off campus housing, I start dreaming of dorm
food and all of the desserts they had. Even without
the buffet the self serv. restaurants are great for food
on the go too! Socially, it is alright, nothing
crazy but nothing snooze-worthy. A lot of club and frat
parties on Thursday nights, and the usual house parties. Many
people live around the frat row area, so it's usually
“happening” on any given day. The area around UCLA is
wonderful, I mean, who can say that they live next
to the celebrities (and a lot of celebrities are seen
around campus)? It's very safe, although there are some random
sexual harassments things that happen. There's always something to do
in Westwood like little cheap restaurants, or a movie premiere
(westwood is the location of choice for big movie premieres). UCLA is a wonderful school, there's no where I'd
rather be.
