University of California-Los Angeles Top Questions

People who don't like big crowds and lecture halls of about 300 students should not attend UCLA. There are about 30,000 undergraduates and the campus is extremely diverse. So if you're very close minded, you should also not attend this school. Those who do not like big cities would not appreciate what Los Angeles has to offer as well those who can't handle 70 degree weather everyday. If you expect to party every night and never study, don't come to UCLA. This school is full of overachievers who party moderately on weekends, not every night.

Students who do not care about doing well and succeeding probably shouldn't attend UCLA. UCLA students are competitive and strive to do their best. If you do not want to put in the effort and give your all, you will struggle academically.

Someone who is not serious about studying.

The kind of person who should not attend this school is a person who is not interested in becoming a well-rounded student. If a person is interested in a specific trade, an UC is not a good choice. Anyone who does not wish to contribute hard work to his/her studies is another person who should not attend an UC. However, a person who is willing to work hard, to network with others, and to explore curiousities with new-fjound enthusiasm, is a great candidate for UCLA.

Someone that is willing to work hard yet is interested in having fun. Someone that knows or wants to learn how to administer their time in order to have a better, funner time. A person that wants to achieve great things in life and wants to make a difference through volunteering and clubs.

Everyone can get something out of the school and also contribute back. However, sometimes students who are really closed-minded perhaps should not attend UCLA, because the campus needs students who are ready to learn, with questions that they could not ask in high school. As a community, UCLA is pretty tolerant, and values free speech that was hard-won by the Free Speech Movement in the 1960s. If a student is unwilling to contribute to the community of knowledge and action, then he or she should think twice about coming.

Closed minded people and those unwilling to get out of their comfort zone should not attend UCLA. UCLA is a place of great diversity that can really open your mind up to new things but if you aren't interested in expanding your intellectual horizons UCLA is not the place for you. During the week before classes it is not uncommon to see the Bruin Republican's being promoted next to the Brium Democrats or the American Chinese Association table next to the Afrikan Student Union table.

Someone who wants everything handed to them on a silver platter shouldn't attend this school. UCLA is like the real world. It is a huge establishment and you have to make your own way whether it is in classes, social life, and careers after college. There are so many great opportunities at this school and great potential to have the best time of your life but if you don't go out and look for them it will pass you by.

A person who should not attend this school is one who is lazy and takes this school for granted. Someone who will not work hard and someone who does not know where he/she is going. It is definitely valid to come in undeclared and not know what to major, but when I refer to somone who does not know where he/she is going, I am referring to those who are extremely lost and do not know what they what to do with their lives in general. More specifically, those who are emotionally and physically unprepared for college.
