I did say that buses go into brentwood and beverly hills, I just said that it would be out of most students’ way…Basically, I mean that if you’re gonna go there to hang out/eat, it usually takes at least a few hours to get there and come back. Most students probably will have other on-campus activities that will be more important. That’s not to say that you can’t go there. I just don’t think that people usually will, and I don’t think the “glam factor” is really important in LA vs B. But I wasn’t aware that there was any bus system in bel air? I mean actually in bel air, not up sunset, but up beverly glen…There isn’t anything to do/see there anyways, so there isn’t a bus system there (unless you count tour buses…lol). There is a ucla shuttle that goes up beverly glen, six times a day, but it’s going to be closed down next year so…

True about the medical center stuff…It seems to me that UCLA is just more spread out and Berkeley is more “squashed in”. LA sprawl.

Good to know about Westwood Village, but what I meant when I said that UCLA grew around the city was that while Westwood Village has some places geared towards students (in’n’out, chipotles, diddy riese, etc), most of the people who frequent it aren’t college students…At least when I go there. LA isn’t a true college town, and UCLA is a bit of a commuter school (many people live at home).
