<p>Thanks for the replies. You see, I come from a rather poor family that has never sent a member of the family to college. Both my parents never received formal education but they knew that education was absolutely essential in this era so they worked tirelessly to save money so that I can go to a good - “prestigious” - university. I’m sure my parents know that going to a less recognized university and doing well there can do me just as good as attending a prestigious university, but they keep telling me “good school equals good opportunities”.</p>
<p>I personally love UCLA. I visited the university twice already and I already feel that it is a great fit for me. I love how the students are so happy and active, the sports, the campus, and pretty much everything. Well thanks again everyone.</p>
