UCLA absolutely is an elite university. Ranked 14th in global universities in one of the bigger rankings. Celerity May 2024 #10

It's still a state school iemanja May 2024 #25

I was strictly dealing with the false attempt to claim that UCLA was not an elite university, nothing more, nothing less Celerity May 2024 #32

"Best" is a relative term. For example, globally UCLA is 14th best overall, but 51st best for their business program, lapucelle May 2024 #47

No wonder protesters were told not to give statements to the press! betsuni May 2024 #40

Yup, here in the US we seem infected with nostalgia from the 1960s anti-Vietnam War movement. AnrothElf May 2024 #41
