UCLA Snapshot
On a clear day, UCLA. That's an old joke, but the University of California, Los Angeles certainly qualifies as "old school," having been founded in 1919. With its 419-acre campus in the Westwood Village area of LA, UCLA has one of the largest enrollment of students among the UC schools, with roughly 40,000 undergraduate and graduate students. The university's one college and about a dozen professional schools offer 125 undergraduate and 200 graduate programs. Being so close to Hollywood, UCLA's film school is renowned for turning out aspiring movie directors and screenwriters. The UCLA faculty numbers more than 4,800 instructors, including five Nobel laureates. The school has a student-teacher ratio of about 18:1.
