Speaks Out

What is your favorate social thing to do in Los
Angeles? Mike Placentia Fourth Year
Biochemistry   "Going to the Gypsy cafe is pretty neat. Other
than that, I just like going out to Hollywood and having fun. I
also like attending plays. Westwood is great for plays, especially
at UCLA in the Freud Theater. I haven’t been to the Geffen yet, but
I’d like to try that out some day. This week I’m going to ‘Death of
a Saleman.’" Cathy Bui Alumna Economics   "I
like to hang out on Sunset Boulevard because a lot of bars and a
lot of clubs are there. It’s a lot of fun because UCLA students and
other college students go there, people your own age. There is a
diverse group of people ther efrom students to older people. Sunset
Boulevard is definitely a good place to go." Dan
Urman Fifth-year Political science and history  
"There’s a lot of fun things to do in L.A. – you have to take
advantage of the resources we have here. We’re in one of the most
diverse areas in terms of geography and people. Where else can you
go skiing and surfing on the same day? Get out of Westwood!
Westwood is fine, but make to take advantage of all the other
opportunities in L.A." Mark Hersberger Fourth-year
French and political science   "Going to UCLA football and
basketball games. I’ve never had more fun in my life than going to
those games. I just like the atmosphere of it, the fact that it’s
my school and my team out there, the same people you might see
around campus. I plan to continue attending this year. I have
tikcets to all the games." Geneva Robinson
Third-year Biochemistry   "I go to church. It’s really fun
because it’s made up of mostly students. We have Friday night
events where we hang out at the beach to socialize. We also have
Sunday church, which is more formal with the minister and his
message. I’ve been involved with this for about a year and I would
definitely recommend that students come and join. There are alot of
different nationalities; everyone is there." Sara
Given Third-year English   "I love to play
volleyball, go to movies and just go to Westwood and hang out with
my friends. Anything where I’m hanging out with a big group of
people is fun for me. The beach is great too. You can go there in
the morning, be there all day, and play volleyball at night."
