UCLA held a seminar in Shangri-La hotel this afternoon. There were 77,000 applicants for this year's intake. Undergraduate population is 26,000 students. The school is in Westwood and is surround by "rich" real estate. So it is relatively safe according to the admission director.
The school's symbol is Bruin or Bear. One of the parent raise the point that funding has been cut and the programs and facilities are deteriorating. The response was it is about $200million out of $4 billion. so the impact is not significant in the big picture. The school has raised school fees as well. Overall, it is not is good shape I think.
The attraction factor is weather and diversity. Food is great as there are plenty of ethnic resturants. We have to attend to more talks to make more informed decisions...
