| How to make UCLA smaller
The best way to make UCLA a truly enjoyable experience is to get involved in as many groups that interest you as you can. The possibilities are nearly endless, from clubs to political organizations to student government to the dorms/greeks (including intramural sports) to volunteer organizations such as (a particular personal recommendation of mine) UCLA UniCamp, which since the 1930s has sent student volunteers to be counselors for inner city kids during multiple week-long sessions at its campsite in the San Bernardino Mountains.
UCLA is massive, both geographically and in terms of the student population. It's quite possible to go through life at UCLA as an isolated commuter student; don't do it. |
