These are a few of the
Universities that Dave has visited in the LA Area. Additional
universities will
be highlighted here over time, as this is by no means an exhaustive list.
Caltech (California Institute of Technology)
is located at 1200
East California Blvd in Pasadena and is primarily a science and
technology School. In 2011 the college was been voted as the top
research university in the world by World University Rankings by the
Times Higher Education magazine in London. For more information visit:

UCLA part of the University of California system in California
(University of California, Los Angeles) is one of Los Angeles' more well
known colleges. The "bruins" campus is located just east of the 405
freeway between Sunset & Wilshire Blvd's. The campus is nestled in
between the Bel Air mansions and the bustling Westwood village.
Highlights include the garden paths, and the neat Spanish/Moorish styled
tile work. Did you know there are a series of tunnels under this campus?
An article from the Daily Bruin here:

USC (University of Southern California) is probably the most
expensive school in California to attend if you are not on scholarship. It is a
private leading research university with its main Park Campus located
just across from the Exposition Park and the LA Coliseum. USC is one of
the oldest universities on the West Coast, having been established in
1880. It is not as picturesque as say UCLA, which is a newer school; many of
the buildings on USC's campus are new and more modern looking.
For walking onto the actual Campus consider parking on either side of
Exposition Blvd. Parking on Campus is $7 - if you park on campus
consider entering Parking Lot 1 from Vermont Ave, just around the corner
from Exposition Blvd. USC is a university leader in research, and is
always on the forefront of technology. They have very well known
business, film and music programs. Interested to see how USC has left its mark on the
