Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

For students with a little more determination and a tad pudgier wallet, off-campus dining is a common adventure—and it is certainly a good one. There are plenty of options near UCLA's campus in Westwood. For lunch, healthy and cheap sandwiches can be found at Corner Bakery Café, Damon and Pythias, or Socko’s. Subs around here are filling and often named after Bruin greats, such as John Wooden, Bill Walton, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. For an after-class treat, try In-N-Out Burger or a little cup of topping-sprinkled heaven at Yogurtland. Dinner is always delicious at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse or one of Westwood's seemingly endless sushi options.

If you want to venture farther from campus, the area surrounding Westwood is home to scores of taste-bud playgrounds, from alley dives to Sunset bars owned by Ashton Kutcher. Just like its people, Los Angeles's food scene is diverse and amazing, so while at UCLA, make sure to take advantage of the plethora of food options around you. It will be an educational and culinary experience that your stomach will surely thank you for!

Expensive but Wide Variety of Choices

Around Westwood there are a lot of places to eat for a many different people. The problem is finding the right places to eat that is affordable with a student budget. There are some places with great prices but many places are pretty expensive. A popular place is called Diddy Reise that sells ice cream sandwiches for $1.50.

Westwood

There's a lot of really niche places to go to eat, plus your run-of-the mill stuff like Burger King. The best part is that there's an In N Out at the edge of Westwood. There's also a Diddy Riese (best ice cream ever!)
