UCLA Campus

The University of California, Los Angeles began as Nicholas Cannon University, and was built in 1994 to be the academic center of his model city. He placed the campus on the western edge of beautiful Lake Park to balance the thriving corporate sector on the opposite side. Together they form the city's Yin and Yang of commerce and higher learning. On warm days, the campus end of the park teems with students studying or enjoying the sun. Most of the humanities functions were moved to the newly constructed northern half of the campus, while the science departments stayed in the grouping of older buildings in the southern end. Today, UCLA has over 15,000 students, many of whom commute to classes on buses that run at 20 minute intervals between the campus and the transport station at the western edge of the corporate sector. The university is best known for its high quality engineering curriculum, but can still offer a sound education in the humanities.
