Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

UCLA students can peep outside their dorm window on any given day, and chances are it'll look like summertime. Welcome to the land of sun and sand, where locals shiver when the thermometer hits 65, and light rain is considered the ultimate disaster. The consistently warm weather makes some students nostalgic for the changing seasons back home, but most giddily embrace the thought of donning tank tops in January. A pleasant breeze is always drifting through the pines, and skies are rarely dotted with clouds. December through March can get chilly, but nothing more than a long-sleeved shirt or light sweater is required.

This never-ending perfection does have a drawback: distraction. For the first and last two months of the school year, the temptation to frolic by the rec center's pool can make getting to class a battle. And with Santa Monica's beaches a bus ride away, why would anyone show up for work? Yet, with a little planning and resolve, responsible Bruins find time to savor both the top-notch weather and educational opportunities at UCLA. They also bring rain boots—20 days of rain per year means 20 days of rain per year!

Southern California

With the beach less than a half an hour away, I can't really complain. It's freezing at night (especially for California residents, maybe not so much for East Coast kids), but the days are normally pretty nice.

Generally Quite Nice

The early mornings are a bit chilly, but the temperature warms up around noon to afternoon. At night however, temperatures are very very cold. There seems to be no pattern to how humid or dry the days are, and those days tend to vary significantly.
