How is UCLA viewed in the East Coast?

<p>I'm not sure if this is the right forum to post this thread but please let me start off:</p>

<p>How is UCLA viewed in the East Coast? (both general public & employment view)</p>

<p>I'm asking this question because I've been thinking of working in the East Coast in the future (about 2 years) after graduation...</p>

<p>Kind of worried that east coasters will disregard & look down on me because I've graduated from a public univ. in the West Coast...</p>

<p>I'd like to hear from east coasters! Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>I’m on the east coast and to answer your question, no we don’t look down on UCLA students. Besides common rivalries between schools that some people may have, everyone recognizes how great of a school UCLA is. I don’t know about employment but alot of people down here in Florida aspire to go to UCLA so no hate over here!</p>

<p>NJ and NY look at Cal and UCLA as top tier schools.</p>
