I love it here at UCLA.Quite BrightFine Arts - Painting/Sculpture/Photography/etc
I love it here at UCLA. 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.

Question
I personally have had a tough time atBrightEnglish
I personally have had a tough time at UCLA. In between having a horrible roommate my freshman year, a professor that threatened to fail me for no apparent reason even after TA's said my work was great, tripping on stairs almost every day, and mugged off campus in Westwood, I do not recommend UCLA to everyone. I know there are several people who had great experiences, and by all means, UCLA is a decent, solid university. I urge you to do your research before choosing a university, talk to different people, get a feel for the campus, and also learn what best suits you. Who knows, maybe UCLA will be a great choice. For me, it just hasn't been a good experience(Though that is not necessarily the school's fault). Please look around before you choose.
