UCLA felt welcoming from the moment my parents dropped me off. The process from arriving to finding my way around the campus was all laid out for me upon arrival.
One of the things I loved most about UCLA was their outdoor areas. California weather is great, and I enjoyed studying outside. Check out the Janss Steps or the Intramural Field if you ever get a chance, it is really relaxing!
One thing to watch out for is the parking. If you live off-campus and own a car, it is hard to find parking. If you are lucky enough to find parking it will run you $3 an hour or $15 for the day.
Overall, I would highly recommend!
