Breaking Down the Crowd at UCLA

Although school has been out some time now, the UCLA campus is still in an energetic buzz very much like it is during the regular school year, however with a completely different kind of crowd than usual. The summer faces here break down into five different kinds of crowds.

First, are the summer schoolers—high school, transfer, and other university students who come from different areas including locally, all over California and the country, as well as some international students from all over the world!  They have all come here to experience UCLA first hand and take a few classes towards graduation requirements as well as get a feel for what it’s like to attend a large public university.
