First of all you should've SEARCHED because there are threads about this already

Hey what's up... I went to undergrad at UCLA and I'm now in grad school (PhD) both for chemical engineering.

I don't have much time right now, but shoot me a PM and I'll tell you whatever you want to know.

North Campus: Hot girls & Jocks, Non Science Majors, beautiful trees and grassy knolls. Anderson business school is there, great place to drink coffee, study, and oogle hot blondes.

South Campus: majority of Girls that look like dudes, All Science Majors, fantastic computer labs but alot of construction, semi-conductor lab is great experience, as well as the machine shop and hands on capabilities to build a ton of stuff.

library is great, facilities are decent, parking is horrendous around campus, UCPD pick on modified cars, crime is relatively low, the final-week undie run is dope, most People are great. you'll get your so cal types once in a while, stuck up and everything has to do with fashion, but there are always a few like that.

the gym is FTW!! wooden center is by far one of the nicest school gyms' i've ever seen/used.

Campus is small (~3sq miles), dorms are relatively new, they added a ton of new buildings since i left, my cousin is a first year there right now, but i heard first/second years that are staying are getting triples.

I met my fiancee at UCLA, so yea. its a good place to be

No I don't live on campus anymore. Generally most people move to the apartments after 2nd or 3rd year. Keep in mind I'm in grad school now, I've been at UCLA for 7.5 years. The PhD program will keep me here about another 3.

I'll give you a tour dude... I used to work for parking services so I know all the ins and outs of the campus.

Hit me up via private message and we'll hook something up
Mike

you should just pay $7 (or is it $8 now?) park in lot 6 and just go walk up and down bruinwalk and ask the people around there what they think about the campus and just explore. if you get lost, go to powell/royce courtyard and hold your ID above your head. this is the UCLA symbol that you need help and a student will come help you
