Reflections on college visits
-
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.

People during winter often ask how I could've ever moved to Minnesota. I tell them the winters are tough but the summer is really perfect for about 4 days in July. (Kidding, May->October here IMO is fantastic, minus mosquitos right at dusk).
Anyway, thanks for the insights, yeah personally I'd be overwhelmed (in a good way) with all of the history and film/music at those schools. How fantastic to be in those halls (and parking lots).

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.

At UCLA, did you see the Jim Morrison locker?
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

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