The education comes at a lower cost, but is superb education nonetheless.

The most unique thing about my school is the location. There is nothing I cannot do at the University of California-Los Angeles. With Santa Monica less than five miles away I could be at the beach in less than half an hour and be at the center of Hollywood in the same amount of time, if there isn’t too much traffic. I could also meet people of many different nationalities as Los Angeles is the Mecca of cultural interaction. Many schools that I considered had only one or two of these features, but only UCLA had them all.

UCLA has a fantastic social environment in which one can truly find him or herself while fully enjoying all of the incredible opportunities available both in the UCLA community and the greater Los Angeles Area. The UCLA community is much more open-minded and friendly than schools of comparable academic intensity. A vast majority of UCLA students, both current and future, have a unique sense of belonging and community at UCLA which I believes stems from the fact that every day spent at this school is a day spent in paradise.

Ucla offers students the opportunity to reinvent their future. As I walk the stairs every morning, the beauty of Ucla reminds me that I can become anything I set my mind to. I wanted to become a business leader, but with their amazing medical field, I realized that I wanted to double major in business and biology. I am inspired to creating a world of endless possibilities: becoming a leader and helping others.

University of California, Los Angeles is the most populated campus out of the UC schools with the smallest amount of land. While this may seem like the school could become crowded and unorganized, I disagree. This school is very organized. There are many classes that are offered and I hear very little of students not getting into classes they wished to get into. My school is also very conscious of its wastes. This can be difcult for a school with such a large population but it continues to be environmentally sustainable in many ways.

No matter what you are interested in, there will always be a group of people who share your passions. Despite being such a large campus, you can still build meaningful connections with fellow classmates.

Great balance between academics and social life. Best location ever. Very diverse.

I feel that what is unique about this campus is the people and even the experiences. I feel as if I would have gone to another college, I would have not met the same great people I did here. This college is different to what I'm used to at home. There is such a huge diversity that I enjoy. I love that I have friends from differnent races and cultures. It gives me a feel of the world.

UCLA's energy on campus is certainly unique. I have visited over a dozen universities, including public and private schools in California, public and private schools in the Midwest, and private schools on the East Coast, and no where have I found the same energetic, inclusive sense of community that UCLA has. The students and faculty are passionate about ensuring all succeed academically, socially, and professionally, and place a strong emphasis on helping others at UCLA, in the Los Angeles community, and worldwide. I have never found such a happy, productive, and compassionate group of people anywhere else.
