Yes main reason for UCLA was that UCB is too close for us (Alumni scholarship there helped too). It’s been great. S did a summer course at GWU during HS and enjoyed his time there, despite the horrible July weather. But the two campuses introduced some complexities (I think the honors dorm is at Mt Vernon IIRC but everyone wanted to spend their time downtown) and needing to use off-campus food vendors while downtown made that all quite expensive. Basically it was a bit unclear which experience (campus vs downtown) you were really signing up for.
