Fell in love with the feel, the size of the campus, and the degree programs. It also had all the clubs that I was looking for and the most perfect weather possible. It also had the most prestige out of all the colleges I got in to.
Course Curriculum
It depends on the course I'm taking. Some classes are extremely hard for me such as Calculus and Physics and require a lot of extra work outside of class. Other classes such as GEs or the Freshman Seminar Courses don't require as much effort.
Faculty
So far I've had great faculty. For the most part, they've been available by email and have great office hours. No complaints their. My one issue is a class taught by a grad student.
Accommodation
I live in one of the freshman dorms on campus. I don't have any problems with the housing process aside from picking a roommate. That was not a favourable experience and I wish there were better ways to get out of a bad housing situation.
Exams
I took the SAT and got a 1330 and the ACT and got a 30. Super scored on the ACT, I got a 32 except my school didn't take the superstore.
Fees
The total cost to attend the university was $75,000. Plus living in Los Angeles is quite expensive and you need a lot of other living stipends.
Scholarship
Yes, I applied for scholarships with the university that grant me free tuition. I also have compensated room and board which brings the total down from $75,000 to only $8,000 per year. It's a much more manageable price which is why I decided to come here.
Examination Structure
At the end of the semester, we have all of our exams after a dead week of class. They're back to back usually over the course of a week. I've only ever had mine in the first few consecutive days which is a blessing and a curse.
