I often get asked why I decided on UCLA Anderson. There are several reasons but one of the main reasons was for its people. The UCLA Anderson student body has a reputation of among other things being bright, collegial, down-to-earth and well-rounded. It sounded like the kind of people I could enjoy two years with and now that I'm here, I certainly have not been disappointed. Starting from the first day of orientation it has been really easy to make connections with my classmates. And while everyone is here to get a degree, that doesn't mean mean we're in the library all day. While we do get our study on in Rosenfeld, you're just as likely to find an Anderson student working out in the Wooden Center, volunteering with C4C, tailgating or just hanging out in the sun. We come from all different backgrounds, and if you want to get a better idea, take a look at the audio animations created in conjunction with the UCLA film school (bottom of the page). Very cool!
Interacting with such talented and fun people makes me look forward to going to school (even for the 8am classes, although admittedly it is a bit harder). And while some of my classmates may have questionable tastes in the sports teams which they support *cough Sreesha*, they have been a huge highlight in my UCLA Anderson experience thus far.
