  1. I personally love living in LA--I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and I went to UCLA for undergrad. It's a very diverse city, the weather's great year round (minus fire season), and you can easily go to the beach or the mountains. I also love its food scene and art museums. LA is known for its sprawl, so it doesn't have a typical big-city feel and it can be difficult to get around without a car. While LA's rail transit isn't great, it does have a pretty extensive bus network! I lived in Westwood the entire time I was a student at UCLA, so it was very easy to get to and from campus and run errands on foot. I had a car my senior year and it definitely made exploring LA beyond the Westside much easier. I'm planning to enroll in UCLA's MURP program and I don't think I'll live in Westwood this time around to cut down on the cost of rent. UCLA's grad housing in University Apartments South isn't too far from the Metro Expo Line, so you could use that to get to Santa Monica or Downtown LA. There's also a shuttle for UAS residents that goes to and from campus on weekdays. I'd also suggest thinking about where you would like to work after graduation. If your goal is to work in Los Angeles or elsewhere in California, UCLA may be the better choice.
