UCLA (the University of California, Los Angeles) is located in the Westwood neighborhood on the west side of Los Angeles, California, United States. It sits in West Los Angeles near the base of the Santa Monica Mountains, about five miles from the Pacific Ocean.

More specifically, the main campus is bordered by:

  • Sunset Boulevard to the north.
  • Le Conte Avenue to the south.
  • Hilgard Avenue to the east.
  • Gayley Avenue to the west.

So if you’re picturing it on a map: it’s in Southern California, on the west side of LA, between neighborhoods like Westwood, Bel Air, Brentwood, Beverly Hills, and Santa Monica.
