[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]USC and UCLA[/quote]
PP must be confused. UCLA is a major grind — it’s miserable.[/quote]

Miserable, huh? Is that really the adjective you wanted? UCLA scores awfully well in quality of life and student satisfaction, and its workload is comparable to its peers. Naturally, there are a handful of joyless grinders among the massive student body, but most kids enjoy themselves and find a good balance between working hard and having fun. If you don’t believe me (an alumnus), check out Niche, Unigo, Fiske, Princeton Review . . . . [/quote]

+1.  DD is a senior at UCLA and has had the time of her life.  I just visited her and she was telling me how UCLA is the perfect place to go to school.  Westwood is a great "college town" in the middle of a world-class city.  Beaches, mountains, etc.  It is filled with super smart, ambitious students who work very hard but recreate very hard as well.  Surfing, mountain biking, hiking, skiing, hanging at the beach, great sport spirit, etc.  And the food scene is second to none.  DD was able to strike a really good balance of working the grind but also frequently unwinding with friends.   [/quote]
