<p>This is primarily for current students but anyone can feel free to answer.</p>
<p>At this point most of us are trying to decide where we want to attend college and I know this is the UCLA board so it is hard to ask for an unbiased response but I was just wondering from peoples experiences what they think the pros and cons of UCLA are?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Honestly, from my point of view, the only real con from UCLA is the fact that it may be very difficult to get a high GPA since everyone is extremely smart. Sure the classes are big and humongous, but you just have to learn to study on your own, and you always have small discussion after lectures (around 30 people). As for the pros, practically everything. Great location (you've been there right? Best area for a college campus imo), beautiful buildings, great sports (except maybe football...damn rose bowl is so far away), really good food, and pretty much everything else.</p>

<p>If you're a humanities major this isn't a problem. For south campus majors though I assume it's a big deal.</p>

Curve-setting. For humanities and social science majors - I haven't had an experience where there's been a curve or an alloted number of A's. It's definitely doable as Lax suggests.</p>
<p>You're asking the wrong question on the wrong board.</p>
