[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UCLA is a major pressure cooker, as is Berkeley.[/quote]
It is? It wasn't when I went there, especially in the Humanities. UCLA has 32k+ undergraduates, which means you'll find nearly every sort of student possible. There are surely some grinders, but you'll also find a reasonable number of students (because of the low instate cost) who just want a degree so that they can become teachers, social workers, or police officers. My particular friend group and I mostly went on to top law schools and medical schools, but I don't recall any particular stress culture. We studied hard, but we also went to LA clubs bars, socialized, took road trips, etc. I occasionally hire UCLA grads and we naturally talk about college, and nearly everyone seems to have had a very positive, fun experience at UCLA. I personally seen any students who were miserable there, although at least a few exist.[/quote]

I guarantee no one today is going to UCLA to become a police officer. Are you in your 70s?[/quote]
