questions about UCLA engineering
Hi everyone, I was admitted for Computer Engineering and really hoping I can attend here in the fall. I'm OOS from the East Coast but had some questions about the engineering program, and UCLA in general. Would love to get some answers and tips!
- How difficult is it to get the classes you need each quarter? Has enrollment ever delayed your progress or forced bad schedules?
- How competitive does it actually feel (classes, research, clubs)? Is it manageable if you’re proactive?
- How easy is it to get involved in research or meaningful engineering projects early (freshman/sophomore year)?
- Do you feel like UCLA gives you strong access to internships (especially in California), or is it mostly on you to figure that out?
- Does the large size of the school ever make it harder to stand out or get support?
- For out-of-state students: how was the transition and overall experience?
go bruins!
