Why UCLA is the perfect backdrop

Renowned for its research and innovation, UCLA also boasts some of the best dining halls in the nation.
During outdoor activities at Dickson Court, meals at De Neve Commons, and breaks between lab sessions, iD Tech students experience the inspiration and energy this campus has to offer.
