Competition for funding, opportunities, and resources is fierce! The reality is there is not enough or sufficient financial aid awarded for students facing financial hardship. Self- advocacy is essential for survival at this school.
Something to keep in mind is that financial aid can be disbursed late and is something you have to accept since it is part of the conditions of receiving financial aid. Unfortunately, financial aid does not reflect the high cost of living of Los Angeles much less Westwood! Like any other school there are phenomenal professors and not so great! Take advantage of your time on campus to explore resources (campus libraries, Undergraduate Research Week, career panels, Career Center, mini film festivals/ events by foreign language departments) , network, and remember there are no guarantees ! No school can guarantee your success!

Attending UCLA was a life-changing experience for me. I became fascinated in subject material that hadn't interested me before such as medieval religious and Classical Cambodian dance. I became active in several student organizations, including the Nigerian Student Association, Inner Soul, and the UCLA Sex Squad, a sexual health and AIDS prevention performance ensemble. During my junior year, I applied to study abroad - an opportunity I would suggest any student take advantage of - and was awarded a Fulbright-Hay Group Projects Abroad fellowship to study Arabic in Morocco for several months. My experience abroad was documented in the Daily Bruin, the campus newsletter that's produced by students! I spent my last year at UCLA developing a senior project that I performed in front of my classmates, friends and family. I highly recommend that "you" apply to a 4-year university and pursue what you LOVE. Take advantage of the endless opportunities available to you and don't look back!
My first quarter at UCLA was not what I had dreamed it would be. However, the school is making the most of it! Traditional events are still held online to the best of their ability, and they offer many opportunities to socialize with others. There are many student organizations to join with interests in nearly everything. I was never drawn to Greek Life, but at UCLA, the sororities were very welcoming, and joining was the best decision I made this quarter. It was a gateway to meeting new people and making friends. In terms of academics, my professors were flexible with our schedules and empathized with us during this pandemic. The one thing that I would change, though, would be the tuition and fees. The payments are quite expensive for being online and not being able to use any of those resources in person. Overall, I do not regret my decision of attending UCLA and considering the circumstances, I enjoyed my first quarter!
