Speaks Out

If you could change UCLA in any way, what would you
do? Andrea Chung Fourth-year Psychology
“The only thing I would suggest changing is placing more
emphasis in recognizing students that come back to school after
leaving for awhile. There doesn’t seem to be any program to
support working adults coming back to school.” Dana
Knickerbocker Fourth-year Sociology “If I could
change one thing it would be the availability of classes. I’m
in the honors program but I still don’t get all the classes I
want. They need to hire more instructors or schedule more
classes.” Andrew Wu

Fourth-year Computer science and engineering

“Add more aesthetic stuff such as flowers … that would
make the campus a little better. I think the buildings in South
Campus are not as nice as those of North Campus. South Campus is
not as exciting, it’s more bland.” Marissa
Miyazaki

Third-year Neuroscience

“I would say eliminate the lack of campus unity.
It’s such a huge campus and there’s no center. There is
a wide array of student groups; we should constantly encourage
student groups to form … people should get involved with
things.” Thomas Murray

Third-year Electrical engineering

“I would improve the food. There’s only really one
place to go that has good food and that’s Ackerman. Everyone
pretty much has the same thing, it gets kind of dull; you just want
to go off campus.” Robert Battles

Fourth-year African American studies

“I would change how much money the school makes from the
students and how much they don’t really take responsibility
for the money they’re making. We in turn have to pay a lot
more for our education in regards to parking fees, housing fees and
enhancement fees for classes that have Web sites that you hardly
ever use or can’t use.” Compiled by CUAUHTEMOC ORTEGA,
