Bruintality

"Embrace the Bruin mentality to cultivate the Bruin experience; live with Bruintality."

Our Mission

Welcome! This website is a collection of personal insights, advice, and fun hacks designed to assist current and prospective Honors students in navigating the broad world of UCLA. As underclassmen in the Honors program, we continue to adjust to the academic pressures and social dynamics of university life. We hope to remind you that success lies not only in accomplishments but also in fulfillment and balance. Being a Bruin is not simply about being accomplished and driven, but about being open, mindful, and genuine with ourselves selves. This is the mentality of a Bruin; this is the Bruintality.

The pillar of Learning encompasses the interdisciplinary experience UCLA creates to enhance students’ education. Explore how UCLA Honors students are being experimental in their navigation through the plethora of majors/minors, study locations, and exam resources.

The energy of UCLA Honors students lies beyond academics. One cannot simply “be” a Bruin if they do not act with the Bruin spirit of emotional intelligence and cultivating happiness. Dive into UCLA’s many resources for staying mindful, listen to our podcast about managing dorm life, and take an interactive quiz to see what de-stressing activity around campus best suits you.

Discover how Honors students maintain balance in their lives with hobbies, crafts, and extracurriculars. The way we pursue our goals makes every Bruin unique. Take a look into how we manage our day-to-day lives while channeling our efforts towards projects bigger than ourselves.
