<p>[UCLA</a> Undergrad Admissions: Campus Tours - Campus Lecture Experience](<a href=“http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/tours_lectures.htm]UCLA”>http://www.admissions.ucla.edu/Prospect/tours_lectures.htm)</p>
<p>Any prospective students going to sit in on classes?
I want to, but I’m wondering if anyone has done this and what exactly do you do… do you just go in and sit down? No need to check-in anymore or anything? And where would you park/is parking free?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yep - just go in and sit down. Honestly, you could go sit in on pretty much any class in the larger lecture halls (no need to limit yourself to that list) - no one is going to notice, care, etc… welcome to college :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>hahahahahahahaha - oh man, thats a good one. Free parking at UCLA… ahhh that was good. :D</p>
<p>Seriously - you will pay through the nose to park at UCLA. I’m not sure what they’re charging these days, but I’m guessing its around $9 a day. Basically, you should drive up to the kiosk on Westwood Plaza and ask for a parking permit for Structure 6 (which is directly ahead from that kiosk). Structure 6 is located right next to Ackerman and is in a perfect spot for you to get to whatever building you need to get to.</p>
<p>It’s $9 to park at UCLA. If you want free parking there might be a few spots available west of campus where the apartments and frats are. You’d have to drive around to find one, though, and that could take some time.</p>
<p>^And risk getting front/rear ended by kids who can’t park.</p>
<p>I don’t think that’s ever happened to my family, and we’ve parked there many times.</p>
<p>You can also go to the UCLA podcast site to listen to classes. Some of them are locked, but some can be viewed/listened to by anyone.</p>
<p>Take the bus if you can. Also…lectures are lectures. There’s no real need to have a sit-in because each lecture and each professor are all different. If you must, sit-in on Scerri’s class…=)</p>

<p>oh god…</p>
<p>are the lectures like in community college? how helpful are ucla lectures for the exams?</p>
<p>sit in on corbin’s class 
scerri’s is fun too if there is a demo :)</p>
<p>Lectures aren’t like community college classes. Most of the lower division lectures have at least a couple hundred students enrolled.</p>
<p>Unless you plan on learning all the material in the class from the textbook, then yes I would say lectures are pretty important to go to.</p>
