<p>tishtok, just a few clarifications to your post –</p>
<p>Westwood DID grow around UCLA. UCLA moved to its present location in 1929, and was surrounded by not much at the time.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
