While I can't comment on the actual department, my experiences with the physical Physics and…read moreAstronomy Building (PAB, not to be confused with the Public Affairs Building, PubAff) have been positive. Ignoring the impossibly heavy doors, PAB is a great place given how clean, modern, and quiet it is. There are some seating spaces sprinkled around the building as well as a student lounge and study lounge where many TAs hold office hours. PAB lecture halls are definitely some of the better ones here at UCLA. Although the chairs are often squeaky, the design is spacious and comfortable. There are also outlets in every seat (tbh my favorite part)!!! There is also an outdoor patio upstairs (don't tell anyone I told you) on the 3rd floor with plenty of seating for the most part (it gets busy during lunch time). It's probably one of my favorite outdoor places to study on a nice day.

What's not to love about UCLA? Had a short exchange here and the experience was incredible!…read more The Westwood area around UCLA is filled with lots of people that either are current UCLA students or alumni and boy are they super friendly and forever helpful! I was once standing by the street corner near the medical plaza waiting for a classmate and one alumni approached me to ask if I was lost (well, I kept checking my phone and probably looked anxious) and needed help. Another occasion, another alumni chatted a bunch of us up and offered to walk us to Fat Sal's (just behind Fox Theatre) and even proceeded to give us some tips on famous places to try i.e. Diddy Reese etc. The campus itself is huge and one could spend about 2-3 days exploring the campus in its entirety. The architecture of the buildings are inspiring and I could easily spend another year here! Even the library looks Harry Potter-ish! Outsiders are welcome on campus too and I spotted a few tour groups and non-students walking around. On a good Summer's day, having a picnic lunch outside Royce Hall is the best way to kick back and relax.

The grounds and facilities are excellent, the food service very good, and the hospitality of faculty, staff and students terrific. The Anderson School is near the Sunset Blvd entrance to the UCLA campus. The closest parking is Parking Structure 4, a short walk to Abderson.

In other reviews of colleges in Los Angeles, I have mentioned how highly I esteem academia and…read morelearning. Among the top universities in the world, University of California Los Angeles has to be in the top 50, if not higher. But, I am not reviewing it as a superlative academic organization, rather as a place to seek sanctuary any time of year in the greater Los Angeles area. Westwood, where it is located, is a beautiful affluent town in itself. Any student who attends the school has a full array of amenities within a short walk from the campus. And, concomitantly, the town of Westwood has a treasure in the gorgeous grounds and buildings of UCLA, just a short walk up a gentle hill. The grounds are a living museum with sculptures around every turn and an arboretum with mature plantings that have survived and thrived in the dry heat of this Southern California reclaimed desert, for a century. If you are a visitor to the area or if you simply want a place to go and eat your lunch outside and absorb the beauty of an accessible and free form of "forest bathing", head to Westwood and give yourself a full afternoon to walk around the acreage that makes this one of the most beautiful and relaxing, if not inspiring, gardens of the world. I took these pictures a few years ago with a full frame Nikon (my camera of choice in those days), during a phase when I was documenting Los Angeles with my camera and not reviewing things as I am doing now, and so I think they do the story of these grounds proper justice by focusing on the beauty and serenity available here to all by just taking advantage of this elegant place. See what you think ... (You will have to refresh this page to see all 26 pictures, apparently -- I have no idea why!)

Hadia Kabir, has been very unprofessional towards me since her UCLA acceptance into the BA of…read moreCommunication. The student's overall performance did not consistently meet expectations. Written assignments often lacked depth, organization, and evidence to support key arguments. Class participation was minimal, and deadlines were frequently missed or required extensions. Group project contributions were inconsistent, creating additional work for teammates. To improve, the student should strengthen time-management skills, engage more actively in discussions, seek feedback on written work, and demonstrate greater accountability for assigned responsibilities. In addition, the student has severe drug use problems including excessive alcohol use, marijuana, cocaine, and hallucinogenics.

This is a fairly new building at USC, as it opened about two years ago in the Fall of 2014…read more This hall is part of the Sol Price school and they sure are lucky. The great thing about this building, as well as the new Fertitta Hall is the set up that caters towards students. All the floors have places to sit, there's endless tables to collaborate with and it just feels nice. The open floor plan and the lovely downstairs feel so cozy. Students have access to the first three floors I believe. I wrote a tip stating that you reach a level that eventually requires access to go to. I personally love the bottom floor because it feels a bit out of the way. While the floor plan is still open the design makes you feel like you're a bit hidden from the hustle and bustle of people coming in and out of the classrooms and in and out of the building. They close early and I don't believe they're open during the weekends, which is such a bummer, but take advantage during the week. They have a small cafe on the second floor I believe that does coffee and baked good type stuff, but it's nothing special. It's a must see to come check out! There's also a strong possibility that if you're a Marshall student doing "studies for credits" you'll be in this building. A majority of mba students host their case studies here for whatever they're working on, it's usually located downstairs.

Business Students! If you plan to major in business at USC, Popovich Hall or JKP will be your 3…read morestory home. Sure it's a rough area outside the USC campus, but your home was built in 1999 and has its own café, courtyard, career center, computer lab and lawn. In my opinion, JKP is one of the best buildings on the USC campus. Your prospective home is touted by some to be the most technologically advanced business school buildings in the US, JKP sports state-of-the-art technology in eight case-study rooms and thirteen Experiential Learning classrooms ,ELC. Both the case study rooms and the ELC's have teleconferencing capabilities. The ELC's are also capable of transmitting lectures and presentations throughout the building. I believe each seat in all case study rooms are equipped with electrical and data connection outlets in addition to a slot to put your name tag. Also, electrical and data connection outlets are prominent throughout the building, courtyard and hallways. If you don't like being bound by cords, don't fret! JKP is completely wireless. The Marshall School of Business has its own career center in JKP and is supported by fiber optics. As a first year MBA student, I can already appreciate how great JKP is and hope that future students will experience the same.

The building is pretty decent, but it is starting to show it's age. As our accounting professor…read moretold us, the building as an asset is definitely starting to show signs of depreciation as evidenced by some of the damage to the wooden furnishing in some of the classrooms. On the plus side, the building does have it's own cafe which is a huge benefit for hungry night time students that only have a 20 minute break at night time to get dinner. Although I have never had the food, I hear it's just ok. The cafe does have microwaves and toaster ovens which are a major benefit. Another plus is that the building is conveniently located on the south east corner of the campus very close to the metro lines. This is a huge plus since you can get of the metro and literally get to a class inside Popovich hall within 5 minutes instead of having to walk an additional 10-15 minutes across campus. Lastly, it's very close the lab which as a business student becomes a 3rd home.

So very glad I came here, and it keeps on giving!…read more I'll comment on the education here later (too much to write about), but right now I'm sitting in a great study area in the library getting some work done... quiet, but you don't obligated to be completely silent. If you want the freedom to chat, you can go downstairs to the cafe/lounge area. Wifi is throughout the building (and campus). You can hang out outside too. There's decent street parking nearby, and easy to get to otherwise, with bus stops, USC tram stops, and the soon-to-be-open Expo Line station right outside. One thing though, we could use a newer building, or at least a facelift and some additional renovations on the inside to make it a little more modern. And just a few small things here and there so that I can't give it a perfect score... so 4.5 from from me. But Yelp makes me round up :)
