The
student body is very competitive. Sometimes it can be hard
to make friends because everyone is trying to outperform each
other. I transferred here from a small liberal arts college
thinking that having a UCLA education would be better for
my future career plans. Boy was I wrong. At my
first college the student body wanted to work together and
form a community. People would study their butts off because
they were very passionate about the subjects in which they
were studying. At UCLA people also study their butts off
but only because they want to have better grades than
all their classmates. It's hard to find someone who loves
what they're studying. There's a big emphasis on image here.
Classes are interesting but nowhere near as good as I
thought they would be. I have a feeling that most
of the people who come to UCLA are attracted to
the name and reputation and don't care too much about
the actual learning, just about getting high marks to impress
people. It's not a total loss though. There are a
lot of good classes and a wide range of majors.
I'm currently taking a year off due to money issues
but will return to finish my BA. Just think long
and hard about coming here if you're looking into it.
