"Amazing faculty and professors. They really guide and challenge on your educational career. There are many opportunities for students to engage in research and volunteer work on and off campus. Faculty at the school are excellent and very helpful in your courses across the campus and across the discipline. It would be helpful if they had more accessible career and graduate options and events for students on campus."

"UCLA is an incredibly prestigious university and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to attend. When I first got to UCLA, I didn't know how I would keep up with the rigorous academic standards. I felt overwhelmed. It took a while of overwhelmed stress until I understood what worked for me and how I could succeed in my studies. It took me a long time to understand how to navigate the social and physical landscape of UCLA, how to effectively take notes and study, and how to take care of myself. The concepts I learned in Psychology and in Education Studies were so incredibly interesting and I learned the words and terms to articulate things I had always known but never quite understood -- as well as concepts that I had just learned. I learned how to read research papers and how to conduct research myself. I feel like I have learned so much and I can't wait to continue that learning. Not only has UCLA challenged me academically, my four undergraduate years have been full of professional and personal growth. Throughout my life, I battled with an internalized racism and homophobia, but because of the resources available to me, I have developed a grounded sense of self. I believe this was only possible at a place like UCLA. Of course, there have been extreme challenges and obstacles thrown in my way, but I learned effective and healthy ways to deal with them. I have an ingrained Bruin Pride that fueled my desire to continue my journey at UCLA; I feel academically prepared to continue with my Master in Social Welfare here."

"UCLA gave me much more than I expected, and it was a decision that shaped me academically, professionally, and socially. Academically, it was extremely challenging. However, I was surrounded by colleagues who were driven, intelligent and supportive. They inspire me to work hard and set high goals for myself. I believe that overcoming challenging situations deepens individual growth. I soon realized that the goal of each class I took was not about mastering the curriculum, rather, developing my thought process and cultivate skills to thoroughly troubleshoot complex issues. Professionally, there were many networking opportunities and the Bruin community is extensive. If you wear the yellow and blue UCLA letters off campus, people will know exactly what it stands for. UCLA is a top-notch university, making headlines for its outstanding research, medical center, and educational opportunities. There are Bruins all over the world, and the prestige associated with the name of the university opens countless doors of opportunities. Lastly, UCLA is a very diverse university with hundreds of clubs to join. There is a home from every student who steps foot onto campus. Going to college was my first time being away from home, but I was able to find groups of people who created a home away from home. Choosing UCLA was a life-changing decision that shaped me into the individual I am today, and I will be continuing my quest for higher education in a Physician Assistant Masters program."

"University of California, LA is a very prestigious school with a diverse population of students in attendance. Excellent opportunities to further your educational enrichment with activities that encourage the idea of using your education in the real world setting. It's a beautiful LA campus, but it is seriously overcrowded if you don't have proper time management on hand. The competition in all reasonably hard majors is cutthroat. I could not find suitable housing options on campus and realistically the average student will have almost all huge classes. Some professors try to help but the sheer quantity of students they have makes it hard."

"UCLA is a wonderful school with a lot of opportunity. If you love to read and learn history through someone else's eyes I highly recommend an English degree. Not only is it versatile for future career options but the professors on campus help you understand how and why the writers say things the way they do. I am very proud of my UCLA degree and I feel anyone else who attends will feel the same"

"While it was able to boast about how great it was, it often failed to deliver. The program was disorganized and did not treat the students with respect."
