UCLA's primary purpose as a public research university is the creation, dissemination, preservation and application of knowledge for the betterment of our global society.

To fulfill this mission, UCLA is committed to academic freedom in its fullest terms: We value open access to information, free and lively debate conducted with mutual respect for individuals, and freedom from intolerance. In all of our pursuits, we strive for excellence and diversity, recognizing that openness and inclusion produce true quality. These values underlie our three institutional responsibilities: education, research and public service.

Discovery, creativity and innovation are hallmarks of UCLA. As one of the world's great research universities, we are committed to ensuring excellence across a wide range of disciplines, professions and arts while also encouraging investigation across disciplinary boundaries. In so doing, UCLA advances knowledge, addresses pressing societal needs and creates a university enriched by diverse perspectives where all individuals can flourish.

To experience university life fully, nothing equals living on campus where students enjoy convenience and a sense of community. All of the on campus housing complexes are just a short walk away from classrooms, laboratories, libraries and sports facilities.

UCLA has 17 on-campus housing options for students.

For those who prefer off campus housing, UCLA offers nine University Apartment Complexes in Westwood Village within walking distance of campus (Gayley Court, Gayley Towers, Glenrock, Glenrock West, Landfair, Landfair Vista, Levering Terrace, Westwood Chateau and Westwood Palm).
