该校属于太平洋十二校联盟。洛杉矶一望无垠的沙滩和明媚的阳光、闻名遐迩的“电影王国”好莱坞、引人入胜的迪斯尼乐园、峰秀地灵的贝佛利山庄使洛杉矶成为一座举世闻名的“电影城”和“旅游城”。洛杉矶市区广阔，布局分散，整座城市是以千千万万栋一家一户的小住宅为基础。绿荫丛中，鳞次栉比的庭院式建筑，色彩淡雅，造型精巧，风格各异，遍布于平地山丘上。

市中心有十几幢数十层的高楼。高速公路与城市街道纵横交错、密如蛛网，四通八达。洛杉矶道路面积占全市面积30%左右，是美国高速公路最发达的城市，也是全美拥有汽车最多的一个城市。洛杉矶的文化和教育事业也很发达。这里有世界著名的加州理工学院、加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校 US NEWS 最新排名65位[2]、南加利福尼亚大学，亨廷顿图书馆、格蒂博物馆等。洛杉矶公共图书馆藏书量居全美第三位。洛杉矶还是世界上屈指可数的举办过两届夏季奥运会的城市。

美国学生评价：（在UCLA的兄弟会可不是仅仅穿着其兄弟会名字的衣服就可以的哟！UCLA的兄弟会几乎每隔两周都会有一个正式的活动！例如约会趴，慈善活动，落日脱衣趴，“占领”其他兄弟会公寓等！当然了，UCLA的兄弟会还是有等级制度的，努力RUSH进高等级的兄弟会去吧！）

Greek Bruins try to make it a point to show that they're not the letter-wearing, keg-chugging animals stereotyped on TV. And to some extent, this is true—when chatting up a sorority girl or frat guy, you know there's a UCLA-worthy brain in there. There's little hierarchy or cliquey-ness to be found within Bruin frats and sororities, though the Greek system itself often acts as a giant, everyone-knows-and-loves-each-other family to which other students are merely foreigners. Most agree that the process of joining one of UCLA's many nationally recognized houses can be daunting, but the years of camaraderie, networking opportunities, and feel-good service ventures are worth it.

As far as Greeks and the social scene goes, frat parties tend to make up a large part of weekend activity and are often the only alternative to low-key apartment gatherings. If you're a member of Greek life, this means you're constantly ambushed with raging opportunities, while non-Greeks may just have to watch from the sidelines. Greeks typically also attend two official events per week, such as date parties, philanthropy events, or club-centered "raids" with other houses. However, students who choose not to partake in Greek parties still find themselves with all of L.A. to conquer by night—the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica are popular party destinations and only a car or bus ride away.

美国学生评价UCLA设施：（UCLA引以为豪的体育设施真的是棒到不能再棒了！！）

UCLA's athletic pride is evident when looking at most facilities. The track is gorgeous, the fields are spacious, and John Wooden Center is beautiful. Wooden, the gym where non-varsity Bruins exercise, is an athlete's dream with an extensive weight room, three basketball courts, two volleyball courts, tons of racquetball courts, a rock-climbing wall, cardio equipment galore, and private rooms offering lessons in everything from karate to salsa dancing. With a locker room and sauna, Wooden attracts A-listers like Magic Johnson and Adam Sandler, who have been known to play pick-up with star-struck students. UCLA's marina is a 25-minute drive from campus and offers competitively priced instruction in sports like scuba and rowing.

洛杉矶位于地中海型气候带，气候温和。大体上终年干燥少雨，只是在冬季降雨稍多。全年阳光明媚，基本上极少时间会在冰点以下，因此降雪的机率也不是很高。年降水量仅378毫米，以冬雨为主。

洛杉矶日夜温差较大，日间比较炎热，就算是冬季，日间气温经也有摄氏20度，夏季日间温度则常超越35度，甚至常因热浪袭击而造成山林失火的情况。平均最高气温23.3摄氏度，平均最低气温13。降雨主要集中在冬季和春季，2月是最潮湿的季节。       

美国学生评价：（UCLA的学生可以在任何一天选择开着窗，享受着令人愉悦的阳光和微风吧！欢迎来到阳光沙滩圣地---洛杉矶！！即使到了冬天，UCLA的学生仅仅需要一个长袖或者薄围巾即可哟！）

UCLA students can peep outside their dorm window on any given day, and chances are it'll look like summertime. Welcome to the land of sun and sand, where locals shiver when the thermometer hits 65, and light rain is considered the ultimate disaster. The consistently warm weather makes some students nostalgic for the changing seasons back home, but most giddily embrace the thought of donning tank tops in January. A pleasant breeze is always drifting through the pines, and skies are rarely dotted with clouds. December through March can get chilly, but nothing more than a long-sleeved shirt or light sweater is required.
