UC's application deadline is already waiting ahead! I believe that many students are fully prepared and understand the dream school of their choice.
But with some knowledge or gossip, you might be surprised: Is my Goddess School so interesting!!
Today Xiaobian will take stock of those interesting little anecdotes in the UC system for you
<h1>UCLA</h1>
1. UCLA and Rival School USC's tearing is so much and wonderful that it can produce a book. There is indeed a big brother who did this. Published in May 2017, available on Amazon.
2. Every year the USC Trojans and the UCLA Brown Bears fall in love with each other on the football field (no love). For example, I once rented a helicopter and sprayed 500 pounds of fertilizer (feces) onto the USC logo copper man.
3. In 2009, USC sprayed UCLA's bear again, and UCLA spent 40,000 knives to repair the aftermath, 20,000 knives to repair, 5,000 knives to buy a large box cover bear, and 15,000 knives to install surveillance cameras. A week before the game, I went to UCLA only to see a box covering the bears, which also lovingly read: The Bruin hibernates during football season against USC."
4. The campus, especially at The Hill, has many, many stairs. I wish everyone can have hips after graduation.
5. There is a tradition called Midnight Yell in the final week, where students are asked to scream at midnight every night at midnight. These screams usually last for a few minutes.
6. Freshmen's orientation sessions usually begin by touching the water in the Inverted Fountain, but it is said that if they do it again before graduation they will postpone a quarter graduation. This is probably why many students don't return to the fountain until they graduate.
7. UCLA often appears in various film and television dramas. "Single Men's Club", "Never Compromise", "LegalLy Beautiful", "American Pie", "Fat Professor", "High to Harvard" have all been filmed at UCLA. That's right, you read that right.
8. A live bear once grabbed a field in a UCLA home game, but he was later ordered to be driven away by Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and banned the behavior.
9. The Internet began at UCLA in 1969. The first Internet transmission was sent from UCLA to Stanford University. After sending it, the computer that sent it crashed.
10. "The smallest campus within the UC System, but largest population." UCLA occupies only 419 acres, making it only 10 percent of the largest campus at UC Davis (5,300 acres).
<h1>UCSB</h1>
1. UCSanta Barbara, also known as UC Selfstudy and Bicycles, because there are many popular Lecture professors with heavy accents, so that most students can't escape the self-study link.
There are 7 miles of bike lanes throughout campus, and bicycles are the main means of transportation throughout the campus, with more than 14,000 riders passing through the bike lanes every day.
2. UCSB has a Secret Bathroom, which is known as one of the "top ten most beautiful restrooms in the world", and after being inadvertently exposed some time ago, it caused a sensation in Reddit, and was awarded "10/10 Would shit again", "I live in Switzerland and even I want to know where it is".
Once due to the influx of tourists who came to visit, this toilet could not be used normally, and now its "address unknown" in the school literature is only known to the teachers and students of the school.
Students who don't know what to expect but want to experience the sea view washroom can contact this writer.
3. One of the most popular sports at UCSB is football, and tortilla throwing in games is a tradition in football.
Although this tradition began with basketball games in the 90s and has been banned ever since, it continues to exist in soccer games to this day.
4. The Stroke Tower on the central plaza of the UCSB campus is the tallest building in the entire Santa Barbara area. Its amazing bells are powered by the carillon, similar to the piano, and the school offers a course on how to play Stroke Tower, but not many people know it.
5. UCSB is one of the very few campuses in the entire UC system with independent beaches. It takes 1 minute to walk from the campus to the sea. Easy-access to the sea may be one of the main reasons UCSB has the strongest rowing team in the country.
6. At the southernmost point of UCSB there is a place called Campus Point, which is a beach that juts out into the sea. It's a great location for boating, surfing and rowing. Campus Point has huts that provide a variety of marine sports equipment, and the discrimination (charges) for people inside and outside the school is very significant. There is a lake near Campus Point. Interestingly, students are allowed to row in the sea but not in the lake.
7. The seaside of UCSB has a labyrinth modeled after the Cathedral of Chartres in France, which is a paradise for students who are busy with their studies to relax and relax, and officially says that students can get peace of mind. Night visits are strongly not recommended because there is no light there and there is a high probability that you will get lost (whispered). But because there is no artificial light pollution, the vicinity of the maze is a great place for stargazing.
8. UCSB (used to) be a well-known party school, but in fact most students do not have time for party. Most of the school's Davison Library is open 24 hours. Even on a normal day at 2:00A. M. It is difficult to find an empty late-night study area in the future.
9. All Dinning Commons at the school are named in Spanish, and the dormitories are named after the islands of the small Spanish islands.
10. UCSB entered the US News Top 30 this year, and on the day of the list, UCSB students rushed to tell each other and ridiculed:
How did you get into the top 30? Advanced to UCSB, and then the school went into the top 30 with its own efforts.
11. There are especially many people on campus who use skateboards or bicycles, and there may even be "traffic jams".
12. Because there is a sandy beach next to it, the beach and the surfing culture are relatively large.
13. Room temperature, some stuffiness.
14. All schools in UC that have a relatively low number of Asians are seen on a daily basis.
<h1>UCSD</h1>
1. UCSan Diego，又称UC Socially Dead。
2. UCSD's campus is built on top of two former military bases: Camp Matthews (former Marine Corps rifle range) and Camp Callan (former World War II air defense training base).
3. The UCSD campus is extremely close to the beach, and there are even roads leading directly to the beach (but still not as close as UCSB).
4. UCSD is close to Mexico, so every weekend UC Socially Dead students can easily drive to the U.S.-Mexico border to share the prosperity of the world, and many people do.
Every final week at 10 p.m., Muir, one of the six colleges, holds a "Primal Scream" to help students release stress with a scream that lasts five minutes.
6. Every year before the start of summer, a field of watermelons will fall from the top of Urey Hall, and see how far it will be "pia chirping" to the ground.
7. Talking Tree is a tree sculpture with built-in speakers that can play anything from Beatles songs to presidential speeches. This is one of three tree sculptures Terry Allen hosted on campus for the Stuart Collection.
8. UCSD's Geisel Library has a very unique shape and may be one of the striking buildings on campus.
It has no third floor and is next to the infamous "Snake Road," a secret passage from the Geisel Library to Warren College.
The top floor of the library is notorious for being so quiet that even the slightest sound you can be stared at angrily by graduate students trying to study.
9. There are six colleges, each with different general education requirements, extracurricular resources, and dormitory areas:
- Revelle: A traditional liberal arts college education that aspires to make students well-rounded.

At the end of the road, the headmaster had to escape through an underground steam tunnel.
