Overnight Stay Program (OSP)

A wonderful way to decide if UCLA is the place for you.

Visiting the Sculpture Garden during an OSP Campus Tour

The goal of the Overnight Stay Program is to allow prospective Regents Scholars the opportunity to get to know the UCLA campus and its surroundings as well as meet current Regents Scholars. A short walking tour of the campus cannot even begin to convey all the advantages UCLA has to offer. Thus, we hope that an overnight stay will help you to experience many more of the unique and endearing qualities of UCLA.
