<p>"USC for grad school? hahah I would never consider that....I value my life way too much to get shot by drug peddlers"</p>

<p>What a stereotype.</p>

<p>well you have to admit, it's not exactly the safest place; however, staying safe is just a matter of not being stupid. there are so many cases of drunk people walking back to campus while talking on their cell phones and getting mugged.</p>

<p>haha ya...we trojans must travel in packs</p>

<p>Wow, this thread gave me a whole new look on UCLA. I guess I'm gonna have to put up with the asians. No offense. It saddens me that my ethinicity, African American, is below 5% of the enrollment. Most or All of them are probably in sports. :rolleyes:</p>

<p>Most, or all, African Americans enrolled at UCLA are in sports?! What a horrible stereotype, but your statement holds true, to a certain extent that is. I'd love to start a debate over this topic, but I know people will become offended.</p>

<p>Lasko, I agree. I am also African American and it also shocked me. Unfortunately, the statement is true in regards to at least the male African American. For every one African American male that I know that doesn't play a sport there are usually 5-6 that do. </p>

<p>Next you walk down bruin walk count how many of them have the athletic backpacks or clothing apparel that would only available to athletes if you don't believe me.</p>

<p>As a high school senior from a top, suburban school in Pennsylvania (somewhere near U Penn), I was shocked at the number of Asians at UCLA when I went there over the summer.</p>

<p>I felt like I was in Beijing. My Chinese professor @ UCLA who taught the statistics summer course couldn't even speak basic English.</p>

<p>i went to a high school that was ~90% (not exaggerating) Asian, so i think UCLA has good mix of asians, whites, and latinos. Then again, thats just me.</p>

<p>^
What high school?
My high school was made up of probably 70% Whites, 15% Asians, and 10% Latinos, 1% Blacks, and 4% Other.</p>

<p>"I guess I'm gonna have to put up with the asians. No offense."</p>

<p>It's not too hard to find some offense in that. </p>

<p>Anyhow, I could just be playing devil's advocate here, or I could just be in a rotten mood because the weather is ****ing me off, but... have you ever wondered that maybe for an Asian person who went to a predominantly Asian or minority school, he/she could be coming to UCLA thinking, "WOW! Look at all these White people!"</p>

<p>It's a bit of a culture shock on all sides, is all I'm saying. =]</p>

<p>i hope they implement Proposition 209 everywhere. that'd be petty cool.</p>

<p>Wow, i srsly dont kno wut to expect...</p>

<p>I'm a Jap, but I grew up in a neighborhood with a lot of European immigrants. My closest friends are skaters, and there is virtually no Asian skater at my school. The only Asian thing about me is I study hard. I have never ever hung out with an all-Asian group, which I see frequently on my HS campus (the chinese group, the korean group, etc).</p>

<p>I also get mistaken as half-white cuz I look like one. I think UCLA will cause some sort of identity crisis in me.</p>

<p>What do posts #4 and 5 have to do with the thread opener?</p>

<p>The question was about proportionality of Asians in the student body. The question was not about proportionality of studious admits, unless the repliers have a racist or stereotypical assumption that Asians study, whereas others do not.</p>

<p>Why the heck did someone bump this thing up from 4 months ago >_>;;</p>

<p>What are the pros and cons of having a lot of Asians at a school? I'm Asian myself and I go to a school where most kids are rich spoiled brats from NYC or just rich people from the tri-state area. Asians are only international Korean students, so I've always wanted to go to a school with more Asians.</p>

<p>Pro-Meet more Asians
If you haven't had much interaction with Asians, you can fit into a clique
Mutual understanding of Asian values (study>>>>fun)
Being able to better relate with someone</p>

<p>Con-Asians can be annoying in masses
Less emphasis on the wonderful college experience, more on post-college
Asians as a whole don't party as well as the other ethnicities
Massive Massive curve killers</p>

<p>*****, please. asians party just as well as anyone else.</p>

<p>...LAN parties maybe xD</p>
