Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Though UCLA dubs itself a zero-tolerance institution, most Bruins find the authority system to be decently lax. While in Westwood and going between apartment parties, students should be cautious not to stumble or tote the ominous red cup because police (however lenient they may be) are always present. Cops have been known to break up such events as Undie Run, but the attitude toward them is generally one of tolerance, as they surely let students have their fun. And, of course, the UCPD responds quickly and efficiently when called. As far as parties, apartments get as rowdy as they like with hardly any police interference. The newly instated chancellor, however, has worked to institute policies that have severely decreased the intensity of Greek events and increased security at these parties.

Currently, security is relaxed in most dorms. Drinking in the rooms is arguably the No. 1 cause of citations, and punishment really depends on your respective RA's (resident assistant) attitude: some dish out hours of bathroom cleaning, and others inflict no sanctions at all. On most occasions, RAs are students too and respect their fellow Bruins' right to rage. If drinking is concealed and kept quiet in dorms, it's almost impossible to encounter trouble. Visitation policies make it easy to let guests share in the UCLA experience.

You Will Be Severly Punished for Cheating/Plagairsim

Professors are very helpful and willing to see you during office hours. However, they have an absolute zero tolerance policy for plagiarism or cheating. You will fail the class, and you will be reported to the school. The school will then, in almost all instances, expel you from the university. It is not a risk worth taking, but it keeps the environment challenging and honest amongst the students.

Depends on Your RA

A lot of RAs (residence assistants) have a policy of if they don't see "it" they don't care. The campus police rarely patrols the hallways of a dorm, but you better not be drunk and walking around on campus.
