8th Continent Soymilk Taste of Life Tour- UCLA

When UCLA opened, it had four buildings, it now has 163 buildings across 419 acres in the Western part of Los Angeles… now that’s a huge campus! The campus includes sculpture gardens, fountains, museums, and a mix of architectural styles… and is stunningly beautiful. You can see the pride and tradition as you walk around the campus, seeing just as many students with UCLA shirts and jerseys as you do blond hair Cali babes.

UCLA is known for their football and their basketball team: The Bruins! They have a known rivalry with USC. USC is generally perceived as the dominant football team, while UCLA tends to succeed in basketball. Needless to say, UCLA students are proud.

UCLA students have a number of traditions including the “Midnight Yell”. “Midnight Yell” is during finals week and is a tradition where every night at midnight (starting on Sunday), students go outside and yell as loudly as possible for one minute. And they need the stress release! UCLA is rated as “Most Selective” by the Princeton Review, with an admissions selectivity rating of 98 (on a scale of 60–99).

All this stress may be worth it because not only are you getting a stellar education, but you also may be in one of the several films that have been filmed there, or you can take a quick trip to the busy streets of LA to spot celebrities or indulge in some fine dining. Truly, the best of both worlds.
