University of California, Los Angeles is best known for the great dining experience that it provides. The great dining experience is not of the numerous restaurants that UCLA has, but the actual dining halls that serve food in a buffet style. The quality of the food is incomparable to that of other universities, as almost every dish tastes good. Even students from other universities, while boasting about their athletics and academics, cannot put their dining hall food above our's, as it is evident that our dining hall food is top quality.

Christina

UCLA is best known for the atmosphere it creates, the school spirit it promotes, and most importantly it is known for the great bruins we all are.

Bethany

My school allows people to further their education at a relatively low cost compared with a four year university. This allows me to get a college education without going thousands of dollars into debt. It also welcomes students of all ages, which helps people go back to school and finish a degree that they might have started many years before, or retrain in a different area when jobs in their current field become scarce or obsolete.

Alexandra

As a biased film major, I have to say UCLA's School of Theatre, Film and Television. The undergraduate and graduate programs top all the lists, and the teachers are fantastic. The Daily Bruin -- the campus newspaper -- is also one of the most-read college newspapers in the U.S. The law school, the business school and the engineering school are also world-renowned. But the reason for the rivalries (especially with our friends across the way, USC) is the basketball team. Even when they're down, they're still rocking the front page of the LA Times.
