    At UCLA, did you see the Jim Morrison locker?

      Familiar a bit with UCLA and a bit with USC. Like you, I like both campuses. But, not a "fan" of the area around USC once you step off the campus. To me, it is pretty rundown area. I know that they have volunteer "police" that patrol the neighborhoods outside of campus proper and provide walking escorts, etc. as needed, but I still would not feel real safe there. UCLA is to me, in a much better neighborhood.

      We noticed that too. Also the university has a deal with Lyft for free rides for students in the evenings within a certain radius of school. There’s a reason the place is so expensive.

        Nope. They didn’t mention it.

          That locker was in the computer science building when I visited UCLA.

          It's full of stickers, and it is said that most stickers are laced with cocaine

            Eh, if they were they would have been taken long ago. College students don't have the money for 8 balls.

              By the way, we saw the college republicans setting up a booth at Berkeley. Brave young souls.

                @Klaus I did a pilgrimage of sorts* to see his gravesite at Pere Lechaise, that’s enough for one lifetime.

                *All the way from Chopin’s grave, a good 500m.

                    In fairness they were still setting up. They may not have seen them yet.

                        He’s narrowed it down to either medicine or aerospace engineering. With a minor in music.
