University of California at Los Angeles Photos

The University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) campus sits in the community of Westwood. The core of the campus was built in the late 1920s in the Italian Romanesque style, sitting on hills in woods. Modern architecture now surrounds the core, much of it from the 1960s.
