How “personalized” does UCLA feel?
^ Pretty much. As a rather semi-social person (depending on my mood), I feel that it’s incredibly easy to get lost in the crowd. There’s just so many people everywhere. I’ve made lots of acquaintances, but not many I would call friends. In this sense, perhaps I’m just not suited for big schools because I’d much rather spend all my time on the computer than go out and do social things (like clubs, events etc) to make friends. So I guess take what I say with a grain of salt. About the office hour thing, it depends on the professor and when they hold office hours. Sometimes they hold office hours in times you can’t attend (which has annoyingly been the case most of the time for me), and while you can still make an appointment, an appointment is meant more for if you actually have legitimate questions. I’ve met some professors who learn your name after about two weeks, while others never do no matter how many times you show up to office hours.
