This diversity, combined with UCLA’s remarkable educational resources, reputation for academic distinction, athletic excellence, spirited student body, andsuperb location, create an ideal setting for our pre-college enrichment program.

Living and Learning Together in One Residence Hall

Although our students benefit from the greater university community, they have a distinct “home” on campus, which provides immeasurable social, educational and safety benefits.
