- Love this school! It is everything I dreamt college would be like. UCLA has everything from a beautiful campus to a prestigious faculty. I'm a communications major and love the classes. I'm not sure what else to say other than work hard and get into this school!

- Graduated in 2002 with a B.S. in Chemistry, it was a great school, however I was a commuter so plenty of traffic and parking nightmares. The college provided me with all the education I needed to get my degree in Pharmacy from USC.
