“UCLA is an unfair school.Not so bright
UCLA is an unfair school. Professors are very unfriendly in my department. They somehow look down on more aged people. Students here are fake and it's hard to make true friends here. If you ever watched the movie "pretty woman", the "sales girl" attitude for Julia Roberts when she shopped at Beverly Hills, UCLA is not far from it. The only good thing about UCLA is because it's famous and it's easier to get a job with the school name on your resume.

“Your experience at UCLA is what you makeQuite BrightHistory/Histories (art history/etc.)
Your experience at UCLA is what you make of it. If you want to make things happen, you have to MAKE them happen... no one holds your hand and leads you to success. You have to be actively involved in your own education in order to make it at UCLA.
However, once you decide what you want to get out of it and work toward it, you'll find that UCLA is an incredible place to learn. Faculty are welcoming and helpful (just go talk to them during office hours!), classes are challenging and encourage critical thinking rather than rote memorization, and there are many resources (libraries, computers, etc.) available to help you with research, etc..
In addition, the campus is beautiful, there are many places to go and quietly study, social life is pretty happenin', and there are many opportunities to get involved in either the school community or in important causes.What you get out of UCLA is up to you. And I loved that.
