It’s the end of the year? That means banquets.
Lots of banquets. UCLA has tons of student clubs and organizations (close to 1000!), and many of these clubs have end-of-the-year parties. Perhaps the best e-o-t-y shindig is the ~banquet~. Not every club has one (for example, my Alumni Scholars Club, which regularly caters its events, doesn’t hold any fancy school’s-over foodie party for its…

College Nights!

Food
Around UCLA, we are blessed with many gourmet yet affordable dining options. I recently had the chance to try a few of them. In Westwood proper, Five Guys opened just a month or two ago.
