The best thing about UCLA is the amazing education that I was able to acquire. My Psychology professors were some of the most amazingly intelligent people that I have ever met. Through them I learned not only the course's curriculum but also; I was inspired by their more personal stories to learn about myself outside of the classroom. I believe that through these courses and professors, I learned how to look inward rather than always outward for answers to life's questions and more importantly, I learned that it is "ok" to not always have all of the answers.

The best thing about my school is that it's home to many different types of students who are both academically serious and know how to have fun.

So far, I really love how everything is within walking distance, and in LA, there's never a boring day.

The best thing at UCLA is the diversity. Students can choose to go to a football game, or take a walk in the botanical garden on campus, or go out to Westwood for some sushi or ice cream. The student life there is great and only complimented by the diversity of classes you can learn from. We have classes that will suit every individual's tastes like Classical Chinese Poetry, Brazilian drumming, Gospel Choir, Photography, Atmospheric Studies, and many more. The possibilities that open to you at UCLA make it an ideal university and place to be at.

The best thing about UCLA is our school spirit. School spirit is obvious at our sporting events, but it is the more subtle displays that make UCLA special. We all seem to appreciate the beauty of our campus and work hard to keep it clean. Every day as I walk to class, I see Bruins happily pointing out the remarkable buildings and gorgeous scenery to a visiting friend or family member. I can hear them proudly telling every personal memory and ridiculous myth that lies behind every structure in hopes of spreading some UCLA joy. That is true school spirit.

I think that having a diversity in the students that attend UCLA because you get to meet many new people that help you see things through different eyes. Also having many programs and clubs that you can join. For example, I joined marching band which was one of the best experiences in my freshmen college year.

The fact that the student body is full of interesting and diverse people who know how to maintain a good balance of work and play.

In my opinion, the best thing about my college is its diversity. I've never considered the environment I grew up in to be narrow minded in any sense of the word, but one of the most striking experiences about UCLA was realizing just how expansive it felt. It was like my world clashed with so many new ethnical, societal and lifestyle conceptions and revealed a hole to the rest of the world. No matter how far reaching I thought my viewpoint of the world was, the best part of college is proving that it can always be expanded.

Diverse professors are very helpful to students of ethnic background and they do their best to help them to suceed. Political views matters, if a student has different political view then the professor has it could cost him/her bad grade. Envirnoment in general is afflunet class oriented. It is not possible for a middle class student to work and study fulll time to in order to get financial aid and maintain good grades. There fore the schooling limits for affluent class to succeed.
