This spring, approximately 690 students will be graduating with a degree from the psychology department, one of the largest at UCLA. Daily Bruin Radio speaks with students, exploring why these majors are so popular and the reason why so many students enter the psychology department.
Two of the oldest undergraduate students in UCLA’s Class of 2014 share their stories:
Andrew Florez, 69, is the oldest undergraduate student graduating this year. After health issues made him rethink what he wanted to do with the rest of his life, he applied to UCLA with the desire to spend that time doing something he loves.
Robert Skeels, 48, is one of the oldest returning undergraduate students to graduate this year. Despite the challenges of being a returning student, he chose to come back to UCLA and finish the degree in classical civilization that he began almost 20 years ago.
Students share their thoughts, comments and crazy stories about the differences between living on and off the Hill. They may seem worlds apart from each other, but the two halves of UCLA both share the college experience in slightly different settings.
Rocco Pucillo can recall the creative writing lessons he was so fond of during his time in grade school. It was there the seed was planted for the career he would come to pursue so passionately.
Whether recording for record labels, interning for a music company that has managed such artists as the Shins or captivating a crowd from onstage with her band, Naomi and the Bandits, graduating fourth-year music history student Naomi Robin is showing no signs of slowing down, even as the doors of UCLA close behind her.
Samad Guerra was initially convinced he had been rejected by the Fulbright Program in Morocco.
