University of California - Los Angeles Reviews

"I attended this university as a transfer student and I encountered several challenges with adjusting to the faster schedule of classes, while having little to no connections with others. It's hard to feel like a part of this campus when you feel like everyone else has entered clubs, established networks, and taken opportunities you wanted. I spent two years feeling like I needed to catch up to everybody else's pace."

"If I can give this school 0 stars I would. THE WORST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. First off, as a Sociology major.There is NO DIVERSITY in this campus. Students think they dominant than others, just because they come to this university. Absolutely RIDICULOUS!! You have to fight for your classes, your given First or Second Pass. To register for classes. Being a senior and yet still I have a Second pass date to register for classes, making me fall behind and getting the worse timing classes."

"UCLA has the best location, climate and culture to bring wonderful opportunities to its students. I did not start to appreciate the opportunities to connect on campus until I took the class suggested for freshman students called Educ 92F. It was actually a class on how to be in college. As a freshman I was too arrogant to think I would ever need to take a class on how to be in college. I sure regret it once I compared my first two years and my last two years at the school after finally taking the class. The last two years I was able to contribute so much more. The stars all seemed to align my junior and senior years. I managed to get a job, lose 50 pounds to a healthy weight, raise my GPA, and organize countless non-profit theater events, a personal passion of mine. UCLA provides opportunities for everyone without feeling like you are in the city and yet is five minutes away from the city. It is also a short distance away from the beach and the mountains. And of course who could not enjoy the nice Southern California weather! The campus has something for every taste yet sustains an unshakable sense of social well-being and community. I wholeheartedly recommend UCLA to any high school senior contemplating being a Bruin. And please don't make the same mistake I did! Take the course of how to be in college. It will change your life!Read Less"

"The Sociology department at UCLA is exceptional. The professors are definitely up to date with what is going on in the world. UCLA provides with a wide selection of topics within the Sociology department that is hard not to like. The great thing about a Sociology major it that it gives you a whole view of society and helps you target your future interests in your career."

"A lot of support for low-income students. however the school was not diverse in my time. The majority of the students there were Caucasian and Asians. Professors were amazing. Competition was fierce. Extracurricular activities were fun. All combined made you extremely prepared for future careers."
