<p>How are summer school environments at UCLA (on campus)? Will it be like weekends, where it is semidead?</p>
<p>Will there be floor activities for those who stay at Reiber?</p>
<p>It is still crowded by a million summer camps and various visitors and conferences. Overall, it is less crowded, but not by much. The lack of UCLA students is filled up by outsiders.</p>
<p>Also it is so much nicer here in the summer with weather. The environment is just more laid back. I had great childhood memories going to summer camps at UCLA.</p>
<p>yeah, I liked how the campus was so much more relaxed during the summer.</p>
<p>There's lots of international students and lots of high school kids from summer camps. It seemed like there were a lot of people in Rieber that were from Taiwan/China/Some Asian country. There were only a couple of activities like some movie night and one or two social events. A lot of the international students went on trips to San Francisco, etc through that student travel agency thing. I can't remember what it is. I stayed in Saxon, so I didn't really get to know anybody except for my suitemates and a couple people I met through them.</p>
<p>Everything is better during Summer Sessions. Bruin Walk is less crowded, the dining halls have shorter line-ups, the South Campus classes are less competitive, and traffic in Westwood is greatly diminished. The best part, however, is the overall laid-back atmosphere. Even the professors and TAs are more laid-back when teaching Summer Sessions courses. The downside, though, is living in the dorms which have no air-conditioning when it reaches 90 degrees outside in the afternoons. I highly recommend purchasing a fan for your room. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>westwood is dead, campus is veeery open. it's good and bad.</p>
<p>Westwood is never "dead" -- there's just more Westwood for me to enjoy. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Life is just better in the summer, what can ya say.</p>
<p>Since I've never had a spring session here yet, what is it like? I hear Fall kids are excited and new, Winter they're kinda depressed and down, and Spring things light up again. B/c of weather, longer days, closer to summer, spring in the air, etc. Is this true in your experiences?</p>
