I LOVE UCLA! Besides the school being one of the top schools in the country, there is just so much to do here. There is always something going on at UCLA, in the apartments just off campus, or in the nearby city. And if there's nothing "going on" you can always find something to do. The campus is really pretty. There are so many people here that it could be overwhelming, but you still run into so many people that you know. Every day when I go to campus I will run into anywhere from 1-10 people that I know.
What I DON'T like about UCLA, however, is the parking. There is NOWHERE to park if you go anywhere, or else it is really expensive. And that's if you have a car in the first place and have a place to park it at your apartment (which could end up costing extra money as well). And this is really a city in which you need a car to get around. Public transportation just sucks and walking won't get you very far. Everyone knows someone that has a car, though, so you can get by without one, it's just a lot more inconvenient. The other thing I don't like so much is the rent. Rent is SO expensive in Los Angeles, and in Westwood especially, since they know college students are in constant high demand of housing close to campus...
But I still love UCLA!
