What they had to say.....

When asked "What do you think is the most surprising thing about UCLA?," Undergraduate Admissions student workers had the following to say.

• How friendly the people are and how great the professors are.
• I am still waiting for a surprise.
• You really feel like you’re at the center of the action.
• The diversity of the staff and instructors. There’s much more diversity among instructors than expected.
• It’s always so clean. There’s never a stray leaf on campus.
• That more people don’t know how amazing we are.
• The surprising thing about UCLA is that every year it feels that the year goes by so quickly. Before you even know it, you’re already a sophomore and then a junior after your freshman year.
• That we have around 800 student groups/clubs available on campus.
• Parking is ridiculous.
• Links. I find the campus to be very powerful with resources and the opportunities available beyond the initial contact. One can easily become active in a personal interest to develop into a passion.
• How small the campus feels. How accessible and friendly the faculty are.
• People go home on the weekends.
• The amount of resources available to students.
• Something new surprises me every day.
• So many different things going on at the same time.

I'm curious to know what surprised our readers that recently tackled the application process and are waiting for admissions decisions. Let me know by sending your comments!

I know this is very off-topic, but please consider what I have to ask.
I have already submitted my UC application but I have NOT submitted the nursing application. What if I don't get in the nursing program? Does that mean I don't get in UCLA as well? Or would I still get in, but with a different major?
Oh by the way, for my UC application for UCLA, I put biology as an alternate major. Does that mean if I don't get in the nursing program, I can be accepted in the biology program?
