<p>Hi,
this is my first thread on your forum. I would really like to know what is your opinion about how UCLA is trying to make you - its students - identify with it as your University. If of course you're proud of being UCLA student :). Is there anything what you are doing to show the world that you're their students? What are the possibilities to show off? I'm waiting for your response.</p>

<p>Seeing the impact UCLA and its people, students and alumni alike, have on the world. There are many, many scenes in movies and television shows that are shot on the UCLA campus and you’ll think “oh hey, I just walked by there today”. Also, the Internet was invented at UCLA, so the very fact that we’re having this conversation is due to the work of a distinguished UCLA professor. That gives you pride to be a UCLA student: people before you have accomplished so much and you’re motivated to perform just as well, if not better.</p>
<p>A current UCLA physics professor is the science consultant for the show “Big Bang Theory”. I know you people watch the show, don’t lie.</p>
<p>A UCLA Prof is science advisor for the Big Bang Theory? Bazinga!</p>
<p>Seriously, though, it is really cool seeing UCLA up on the big screen. I had a surreal experience yesterday using the computer in YRL and seeing that Jack in the Box commercial that was filmed here as a banner ad. Only at UCLA…</p>
<p>I still get excited when I see the campus on films and TV and point out to friends who haven’t seen the campus (who then become quite jealous)</p>
<p>Season 1 Episode 7 of the TV Chuck was shot at Powell and other locations at UCLA despite the stock footage of Stanford’s campus in long shots.</p>
<p>our marching band was in 500 days (of summer) and an episode of how i met your mother was shot here (along with other shows and movies like dollhouse)</p>
<p>Just saw the Jack in the Box commercial, looks like it is set in front of Royce but it is a little hard to tell. Anyone know for sure?</p>
<p>Yeah, it’s between Powell and Royce.</p>
<p>I don’t watch/have a TV. Can anybody link that commercial?</p>

<p>Oh yeah, that scene where Ted is running from one lecture hall to another!
I recently watched “Peaceful Warrior” (I think that’s the name…), and there’s a long scene where the athletes are jogging by Royce Hall…</p>
<p>UCLA= Home, TrueBruins= <3</p>
<p>and, of course, UCLA…CHAMPIONS MADE HERE.</p>
<p>Go Bruins!</p>
<p>wearing UCLA sweaters and being a huge patron of the UCLA store. hell they even inspired me to buy UCLA stamped pencils and erasers 
and by spoiling us with extroardinarily delicious dining hall food ;)</p>
<p>It doesn’t “make” me do anything other than recognize my pride for having succeeded at what I set out to do, with its guidance.</p>
<p>I identify with every single part of it, from Royce Hall where I had so many classes, and saw so many performances, from the tree behind Royce Hall where I used to sit, read, and watch the boys go by, from the bewitching office hours with English professors trying to raise high the roof beams of my brain and opening the door to understanding Molly Bloom, from the Janss steps where we’d have impromptu afternoon jam sessions, from Ackerman where I first laid eyes on my now husband, from the smell of the trees as I walked down Bruin walk, from the first broken leg jumping off a one story laundry room where Pauley Pavillion parking lot now stands; and from spending night after night sitting quietly by my husband in the hospital after his car accident in 2006, while all the loving and caring UCLA surgeons and staff cheered him on to health.</p>
<p>Yes, you could say UCLA is in my heart, and in my soul.</p>
