I know I’ve said this before, but one of the best parts of UCLA is the food! Most of my first two years at UCLA were spend at Bruin Cafe. That may sound like an exaggeration but considering the number of meals I ate there and the hours I’ve study there (not to mention working there…
Category: Life on campus
Back to the Books- but in the sunniest quarter of the year!
First off a tiny bit about me! I am a second year history major and education minor. I am originally from Dana Point, CA. My goal is to become a teacher (k-12) and I absolutely love working with kids. Fortunately UCLA has given me the opportunity to get super involved! I also work for Undergraduate…
Spring Break…it’s Good to be Home!
Spring Break can some times seem like the eye of the storm. On one side of break we have finals from Winter Quarter. On the other side we have the entirety of Spring Quarter. This one short week is the only thing that comes between each 11 weeks! That being said, it is one of the…
Dining on Campus
We have four dining halls (each with its own theme) and three fast service restaurants. Students who live on “The Hill” (on campus housing) take for granted the amazing food that we have, but by the time you get to the apartments, you miss it. Personally, I have loved cooking for myself. I can make…
A Whirlwind of a Quarter
This has been a busy couple of weeks! The end of the quarter is finally in sight and I cannot wait for this marathon to be over! All that said, it has been a spectacular quarter so far. I have been taking 4 of the most interesting classes that I have ever taken at…
An Unlikely Place To Find A Mentor
One of the most popular questions I hear from prospective students and their parents in my time at Undergraduate Admissions is about the student-professor gap. They want to know the steps UCLA is taking to bridge that gap, and what resources/opportunities are available to undergraduate students in that regard. I would be lying if I…
Searching for Jobs or Internships?
As students are interviewing for full-time jobs and summer internships right now, I wanted to share with you a few useful resources that could help. UCLA Career Center is always a place to go to find information about summer internships, work-abroad opportunities, and much. If you are interested to get credit for interning or researching,…
Studying and Keeping Sane
A large part of my time here at UCLA has been finding new and creative places to study. Some of my favorites include: The reading room at YRL The 5th floor of YRL The English Reading Room (a new find) The Sunken Gardens (when warm) Jimmy’s Coffeehouse Espresso Profetta (in Westwood) Starbucks (open until…
Swinging back to the ’30’s
One of the best parts about UCLA are all of the unique cultural opportunities! One of my favorites is the annual 1930’s Swing Dance Party put on by the Historical Ballroom Dance Society. Every winter they put on a huge dance party in the Charles E. Young Grand Salon of Kerckoff Hall. They have a…
Midterm Season
It’s now that time of the quarter again. Midterms are coming up for some of us *South Campus Majors. It seems like with the quarter system, I’m always studying for midterms one after another. But it’s really not as bad it sounds actually. I mean, I’d rather have my tests spread out than have them…
