University of California-Los Angeles Top Questions

Lazy and those that destined to work hard

Someone that is not interested in taking their education seriously should not attend this school. Classes here are extremely competitive with many students that strive to recieve top grades. Therefore, someone that does not want to be part of this rigorous academic system should not attend this school.

A UCLA student should not consist of slothful traits that does not prioritize his/her academics. Someone who is not passionate and does not have personal aspirations that UCLA can help achieve should not attend this institution. One who does not demonstrate the ability to maintain a high academic G.P.A while participating in extra curricular activities is also an unqualified contestant. UCLA is an institution that values personal growth through the use of resources. A student who does not take advantage of opportunities and resources presented to them should not expect academic or personal growth while attending UCLA.

Someone who is afraid of being challenged or faced with stiff competition and hard work should not attend this school. This school is not like other schools where everything is chill and students can safely balance school, partying, work, and extracurricular activities without a few stress acne breakouts. Nonetheless, there is still time for having fun and other activities besides academics if one makes enough time.

People who don't learn well on their own or can't put up with large lectures shouldn't attend this school.

For students that are interested in "south campus" majors, or math and science majors, the pace of the curriculum is difficult to adjust to. I would suggest that students who read and work slowly or who need individual attention in order to succeed would have a hard time at UCLA. There is a certain level of independent efficacy in terms of study habits and time management skills that students need in order to survive the intense classes. This is especially relevant to those pusuing a medical profession because all of the pre-med classes are very cut-throat.

A person who likes small groups and to have their own space.

Those who don't like big cities, limited parking, or lots of hills should not go to this school. Those who prefer a slower paced college should be wary of the quarter system.

People who find don't like to socialize will find it hard with people always trying to sell you something or get you to come out to their event.

If a student is looking for a friendly, small community to become involved with, then this is not the school for that person. Most students are very studious, and focused on school. The campus is very large and it is difficult to get to know people or to make friends. Class sizes are often very large, with 300-student class sizes being common. If a person is looking for a more social environment, other schools would be better choices.
