UCLA---I thought the angels would sing. I'm brand new to tours but we visited a few over winter break. It reminded me a lot of UMBC (where I took night classes in my 30s).  I'm not sure why but it just felt like a totally generic state school.  [/quote]

So interesting - I went in not wanting to like it and was totally surprised at how nice it was and understood how someone might like it there, despite the huge size.[/quote]

I grew up a mile from campus and attended so I might be biased but comparing it to UMBC is a bit much.  I do agree that once you get out of central campus it loses some of it's charm because it is just another state school with a paltry 5.1B endowment. With 9 UC and 23 CSU campuses the state cannot compete with privates and their first class infrastructure.[/quote]

We love the UCLA campus - sculpture garden, botanical gardens, beautiful landscaping and architecture.  My DD fell in love with the place, luckily got in, and is loving it there.  It's hardly just another state school in our opinion.  [/quote]
