To attend UCLA, especially in the math and science departments, you must have a drive for success. You must be motivated to do more than you ever thought you could do to master the material that is presented to you. You will work hard but alas there is a balance to this work because like many other large universities there are plenty of things to do to have fun. From partying on frat row, to climbing rock walls in the Wooden center, to watching movie premieres with movie stars in Westwood, there is plenty to be done.

UCLA is a diverse community that allows social interactions from students of many different ethnicities. Thus, any student can attend this university and be able to enjoy their stay here. For those who are very sociable, new students can easily integrate into the UCLA student body. For those who have shy personalities, they can easily find a group in UCLA that serves their interests. The only type of student that UCLA may not be fit for is the one who enjoys small student bodies, as UCLA is a large public school.

This school is made for a variety of types of students, but I believe that it is ideal for an underdog type student. One who has a lot of potential, but throughout his or her life the student has been counted out by most because they do not fit a certain profile. The student is well-rounded and has a goal in mind. If something gets in the student's way or knocks him or her down, the student gets back up and looks for a different approach.

A UCLA student should be tolerant and willing to change their outlook and accept the views of others. He or she should be passionate and compassionate while also being focused and persistent in achieving their respective goals.

Not sure yet- this will be my first year there (I am transferring from community college).

Somebody who is looking for a nurturing, large, diverse student body and campus should attend the University of California, Los Angeles. There are activities to partake of everyday and a seemingly unlimited number of clubs and organizations you can participate in. Someone who is looking to explore one's possibilities and hopefully find one's niche in the university as well as the larger world community should attend UCLA. The campus is huge. You will meet people from all sorts of back grounds and places like Germany, China, the American Midwest, to name a few.

This school should be the number one public school in California, but it is not. It is number two.

A person who is academically focused and ready to work for his/her education should attend this school. The classes are extremely tough, but you learn a lot and feel accomplished when you graduate. A student that attends UCLA should also be self-motivated both in the classroom and in the real world. There are a lot of students at this university so it is difficult to make a lot of close friends, but if you are open-minded and willing to socialize with others, you can meet a lot of great people and lifelong friends.

A UCLA student should be someone who takes his/her academic and professional success very seriously, but who also know how to have fun; students at UCLA tend to be very intelligent and hard-working in their respective fields while also maintaining a well-rounded social and extra-curricular life. Somone who attends UCLA should be able to navigate courses and requirements somewhat independently, as classes are large and counselors are not asssigned to individuals; he or she should not expect to have his/her hand held throughout the academic experience. Finally, someone who attends UCLA should have school pride.

Aside from the stereotypical list of being hardworking, dedicated, outgoing, etc. that seems to be a prerequisite to any college, I believe that someone who wants to attend UCLA should be willing to keep an open and active mind. One of the major advantages to such a large school is that there are a myriad of new roads that you may not have considered before. Nothing is handed on a platter, but actively questioning and searching will ensure a much more rich college experience, and make all the work and money that is dedicated to those programs meaningful.
