tishtok, just a few clarifications to your post –

Westwood DID grow around UCLA. UCLA moved to its present location in 1929, and was surrounded by not much at the time.

Busses most certainly DO go from UCLA to Bel Air, Beverly Hills, etc. The #2/302 goes from downtown LA all the way to Pacific Palisades on Sunset Blvd., passing West Hollywood and Hollywood along the way, on a 20 minute basis during the day and into the evening. Late at night, its true you’re sort of stuck.

UCLA feels larger because of the adjacent hospital and outpatient centers on the south 30% of the campus. The medical center is HUGE, and employs thousands, so it makes the campus seem more massive.
