Academic prestige, great value, best location ever, best weather, best sports, lots of school spirit, world class prestige and reputation.

What don't I brag about? The weather, the local food, the school spirit, and the amazing workout I get walking to the class - these are all perks of attending UCLA, but the thing I brag about most are the professors. The professors here are witty (sometimes a bit dry, but still funny), brilliant, and yet still completely approachable. I never walked about of a class without a new fact or theory that I couldn't wait to share and discuss with my friends. Office hours were a hundred times more exciting than spotting a celebrity at the local cafe.

I brag about how beautiful our campus and how great the food is. I also brag about how fun the sporting events are and how they have cool events, such as movie sneaks and concert.

I brag about our rich traditions and the beauty of our campus whenever I tell my friends. We recently added the Pauley Pavilion to our campus and its beauty is as breathtaking as that of Royce Hall and Powell Library.

Since my friends go to other UCs, I tend to brag about the fact that UCLA has a football team and a spirited sports following.

We have a lot of organizations on campus and there is a lot of diversity.

It's beautiful, the dorm food is among the best in the nation, and people do great things. 109 national championships.

To my friends I am constantly bragging about the high caliber educators that teach at UCLA. To be learning from professionals who have made their field not only their work but their life passion was extremely motivational to witness. I felt blessed to be taught by professors who had truly learned their craft and were determined to continue expanding their and my knowledge of it. Although each professor’s passion and technique was different, each educator was equally captivating and informative.

The number of highly-qualified, well-established faculty and professors who teach here and willingly interact with students.

UCLA is breathtakingly beautiful. Even if I walk out of a class feeling terrible because I bombed an exam, the fresh greenery and the brilliant sunshine cheers me up immediately. The food is top notch as well. My favorites include the red velvet pancakes, Korean barbeque ribs with rice, clam pasta, and chicken noodle soup. But students have, quiet literally, over hundreds of options per meal, considering that UCLA has four dining halls and several cafes. And the best of all? The diverse, welcoming, genuine, and talented student body!
