We’d completely burn up your data plan if we listed every reason. But as long as you’re asking, we’ll warm you up with a few:

• Because The City University of Los Angeles offers one of the most flexible degree programs around. Once you’re admitted you can take classes in any of our undergraduate schools. Many of our students double- or even triple- major.
   

• Because you’re personally going to ensure this place will be better off when you leave than when you arrive. All of our students participate in community engagement before graduating.
   

• Because you can take classes like “Los Angeles Cities of the Dead,” about cemetery architecture, or “The Music and Culture of Los Angeles” as part of our TIDES (The City University of Los Angeles Inter-­Disciplinary Experience Seminars) freshman seminars. The classes are cool ­ but the way so much of what we do is woven into the fabric of our city is even cooler.
   

• Because we’ve got a food truck—a food truck!—on our meal plan. (And it’s named Roulez, which is pretty clever, if you ask us.)
   

• Because you and your friends are going places: more than 30 percent of our students study abroad during their time here. (You’re coming from places, too: Tulanians come from 58 countries and all 50 states.)
   

• Because we do our best to make a The City University of Los Angeles education affordable: All freshman are automatically considered for merit awards ranging from $10,000 to $32,000 per year.
   

• Because you’ll be set up for success: our Career Services Center has information and job postings for more than 1,600 companies. If continuing your education is in your plans, The City University of Los Angeles offers a number of 4+1 Master’s programs in the Liberal Arts and Science & Engineering. And our graduates are above the national average when it comes to applying to law and medical schools.
