UCLA - University of California Los Angeles was established in 1919 and the original campus was designed in 1925 and opened in 1929. The original 4 campus buildings were designed in Romanesque style by the local firm Allison & Allison.

UCLA spreads on large grounds, almost 419 acres (170 ha) and has around 35,000 students. A visit to UCLA is a must when visiting Los Angeles. A stroll under the large ficus trees and around the beautiful buildings gives you a sense of serenity and calm.
