After having spoken to a PhD student at UCLA and a transfer student at Cal, I am really curious to hear how others perceive certain aspects of both schools - obviously, and and all input is welcome but anything anthropology specific would be amazing!

So when comparing UCLA to Cal, how difficult would the following be:

Academics?

Getting to know professors?

Maintaining a decent GPA?

Getting into grad school (Stanford!)?

Socializing?

Exploring interests outside of academia (would there actually be time)?

Getting an internship?

Studying abroad?

Finishing within 2 years?

Access to student need-based resources?

Access to good housing (on or off campus)?

and anything else you could think of! I would love to hear any and all input and I hope this thread helps someone else with their future decision!
