Seal of the University
The University of San Andreas, Los Santos (USLS) is a university located between Richman Street and Picture Perfect Drive in Richman, Los Santos. USLS is based on the real life University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and appears in Grand Theft Auto V.
Overview
The university was established in 1919 and consists of a small campus set in northern Los Santos and an annex located on Marathon Avenue in Morningwood. There are two unnamed buildings at the campus' main entrance which are likely either classrooms or administrative offices. Stylistically, one of these buildings is based on UCLA's Powell Library. There is a Training Center next to another unnamed building that is architecturally similar to UCLA's basketball arena, Pauley Pavilion, and finally, a track-and-field complex based on UCLA's Drake Stadium.
During the day time, a bell can be heard marking the start and end of class times and students as well as staff members can be seen walking around the campus. Security Guards can also be seen patrolling the campus or assigned designated areas to ensure the safety of the staff and students.
