Westwood is a great college town. With diddy reise (1 dollar cookie ice creams), movie theaters, in and out burgers, etc. Westwood will provide any college student with a lot of fun.

Can anyone complain when a school is right next to Bel Air?

Campus Visit Notes for University of California-Los Angeles


Visit Description:

We were guided by a tour guide, who pretty much lied about everything. She said that ucla was #2 for best on campus food, but when i checked princeton review, it was nowhere near the top 10. Also, she said that the school compares to cornell...what is wrong with her?!? We walked around the campus alot, it was nice, but nothing great about it. I did like their student union, they have a jamba juice in there. Royce hall and Powell library are the best looking architecture on campus, but if you want spectacular, or monumental archicture, i suggest you look at another school!
