10/31 UCLA is a great school but there's one thing I really hate about
it-- jocks. Jocks on Gayley, jocks on Veteran, jocks on Westwood,
jocks everywhere. They listen to loud music and think they're
cool, and they yell a lot on special events like Halloween and
and frat parties. You know what I hate the most though?
Sports game-- it's like they synchronize their frat boy like
yelling so that the entire campus could hear them. It's really
stupid and reflects the overall lack of intelligence in UCLA.

\_ I d really rather not write a long motd essay about UCLA,
so email me if you want a detailed answer. A lot of it
you can't really pick up until you hang around UCLA and
UCLA people for a while. This 'thing' is why I think UCLA
will never be a top tier school, despite having all the
prereqs (lots of research money, good location, good brand,
etc). UCLA people are simply
willing to settle. There isn't the Berkeley culture of
staying past 4am to get the last bits of the project working,
you know? For some people this kind of 'balanced approach'
is ideal, but it makes me very sad. UCLA is full of people
with busy lives who happen to be taking classes (or teaching,
or doing research) on the side. -- ilyas |
