As with any college, the experience is what you make of it. UCLA just presents a lot of diversity in terms of the experiences that you can have. You can get your party fix in on Thursdays at frat row, kickbacks through cultural or professional organizations, or even a warehouse rave in the Arts District. Academically, there are plenty of opportunities for research and internships. It can be difficult to get into certain classes until you are in your 3rd or 4th year, though. Living on campus is really helpful for finding friends and the food is definitely a blow-out compared to other schools I've visited. Only downside is that housing in general is expensive due to the area, so you'll likely be sharing a room and living on a budget!
My experience at UCLA was truly transformative. The vibrant campus culture fostered growth both academically and personally. The diverse community enriched my perspectives and encouraged collaboration. I particularly appreciated the exceptional faculty who were not only experts in their fields but also dedicated mentors. The resources available, from research opportunities to extracurricular activities, were abundant and enriching. However, I believe there's room for improvement in the accessibility of mental health services and the affordability of education. Overall, UCLA provided an unparalleled collegiate experience, equipping me with invaluable skills for the future.
Take this as you will: The campus is really beautiful, but oftentimes the safety of students is not taken seriously. Upper division classes have been great and well taught, but not so much for lower divisions. My dorm this year has had termites, bed bugs, and mold so definitely not great for healthy and clean living!
