I stumbled upon a website the other day that provides information about colleges you may not find in a brochure. College Prowler (www.collegeprowler.com/ucla/transportation Pyrantel pamoate online without prescription, ) has quotes from students and parents and rates everything from Athletics, Greek Life, Weather, and you guessed it, Transportation.
Don’t get me wrong, I think this is a seriously cool tool and wish I had access to it when I was looking around for schools (and maybe I wouldn’t have elected to go to UC Irvine because they had a park in the middle of campus…). My only beef is that they rated our transportation a C-!! How did they arrive at this grade? Their site explains “a high grade for Transportation indicates that campus buses, public buses, cans, and rental cars are readily available and affordable. Other determining factors include proximity to an airport and the necessity of transportation.” Hey, that’s all good too, but what they have listed under “Quick Stats” is so outdated that well, it outdates my tenure at UCLA. There is no mention of the discount program with Culver CityBus, the numerous Metro buses that come to campus, or FlyAway, Amtrak, Zimride or Zipcar! Okay, they mention Culver CityBus way down the page below student quotes, but still.

If you look at the comments, the students generally raved about the Transportation programs. All, except for one, claim that their experience was very good in/around Los ANgeles and most of them site the BBB as a signifigant reason why.
The C-, while very subjective, is underwhelming at best. Makes me wonder if it is possibly due partly to a pre-existing notion that Los Angeles traffic congestion is the worst around. What the grade fails to consider is the ever expanding plethora of commuter options that UCLA actually offers in attempts to improve the general city traffic problems. In short, here we seem to be taking the fall for poor city planning and the general car culture in L.A. I need to check the stats but I believe that the UCLA drive-alone rate is somewhere near 50% below the city average?
I guess it goes to show us that it’s still an uphill battle to not only curb traffic congestion, but to change the perception, and culture around L.A. as well. I guess we can’t win ‘em all, we can only hope to educate and be part of the solution ourselves.
Brent,
So there’s this report that was written by a cross-section of undergrads and graduate students in 1971 about building a pedestrian mall in Westwood Village (which did eventually happen in a way… on Broxton Ave). Anyway, the writers wrote that because of land use in LA, even people living on the Hill would need a car. (They also said Hollywood was dead and Westwood was happening. Clearly, that report was written 18 years before Westwood went down). Anyway, traffic congestion in LA is verifiably bad, particularly on the Westside, but I think that the options ofr getting around the Westside using alt modes is actually pretty good. And hey, that traffic is so nasty that it is much faster to get around WW and Brentwood via bike.
Yes, but how much street cred can you seriously give a site that rates the attractiveness of a university’s attendees?
PS- How about ‘Diana the Diva?’ or ‘Diana the digital techno-guru?’
Brent – you are totally right. I hope their readers listen to the actual students rather than the official review! I really do think UCLA is doing more than their share in trying to change LA’s driving culture.
BTW – I just noticed what grade UCLA got in Parking….I’m afraid I can’t argue with that one at all! Haha.
I hope that grade on parking is not a reflection of our parking oepration on campus. I’d like to point out that if you want to, you can park here… it’s just that if you’re an undergrad in the dorms, you can’t get a parking PERMIT. But, if you want to park here for the day, you can… for $10 a day.
But in any case, *FREE* parking around the Village is scarce. And that doesn’t really bother me. This is because imagine what Westwood would be like if we were a campus that had plentiful parking. This place would be ugly. Instead of green grassy fields, we’d have… surface parking. We’d be far away from anything worthwhile. UCLA wouldn’t be UCLA, this busy, urban university in a bustling city.
Yes, yes, but what about “Diana the Digital Techno-Guru?”
