Besides the gorgeous weather, world class training opportunities and easy access to southern California’s natural offerings make UCLA a great outdoor school. Myriad classes from biology to geology to environmental sciences take advantage of outdoor offerings. The Marina Aquatic Center offers surfing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing, stand-up paddling, and rowing, just minutes away in Marina del Rey.
Outdoor clubs at UCLA include Quidditch, dragon boat, rowing, rugby, ultimate, and a number of more traditional sports. Many compete at national levels, just as UCLA’s D1 teams, with which the school is the most decorated university in the nation (UCLA holds 108 national team titles). All the more reason to get outside!
