The curriculum for an English Major is justQuite BrightEnglish
The curriculum for an English Major is just mediocre, and the faculty is very selfabsorbed. Too selfabsorbed for the poor quality of teaching and program structuring. Campus safety is another issue. As a single female, I simply do not feel safe walking around campus or Westwood at night. This campus is "hyped up" too much on propaganda. I wish that the administration would spend more time and energy on promoting quality academic programs rather than placing so much effort into false advertising and self-promotion.

Question
Beautiful campus, challenging programs, diverse student bodyQuite BrightBiology
Beautiful campus, challenging programs, diverse student body, tons of opportunities to get involved (volunteering, internships, school activities, etc.), great sports teams, Westwood, beautiful weather, the beach and the 2nd biggest city in the country. UCLA has it all. It's no wonder it gets more applicants than any other school in the country.

Question
The Microbiology Program is poorly structured.Quite BrightBiology
The Microbiology Program is poorly structured. Class sizes are large and it is hard to make friends within your major as everyone is trying to out perform you by any means possible. It is extremely cut throat and other students will do anything in their power to make you look bad and gain the upperhand a stay ahead of the grading curve. Team Work is not in the vocabulary of the majority of students. I have also found the faculty to be relatively unapproachable and completely unhelpful.
