The value of UCLA's location

Any who has worked or studied in Los Angeles has a hard time understanding why people go anywhere else. UCLA’s colors were chosen to represent regional attributes: blue to symbolize the nearby ocean and local wildflowers, and yellow to reflect the California nickname of “the Golden State,” the California poppy, and rich sunsets. UCLA School of Law is located in the heart of Los Angeles, a thriving and dynamic cultural center with rich arts, entertainment, and culinary offerings. Outside of UCLA, there are limitless opportunities to explore Los Angeles’s green spaces, mountainous hiking trails, scenic drives, and coastal enclaves. Here you’ll enjoy all that the city has to offer, from relaxed beachside eateries in Santa Monica to the dynamic nightlife in Hollywood.

Study hard, for the well is deep, and our brains are shallow.
