As anyone who has been on the UCLA campus for a period of
time knows, the campus is often used for movie and TV locations. Recently, in the 2011 film “Water for
Elephants,” UCLA briefly became Cornell, as the photo from the film shows. (The plot involves a veterinary student at
Cornell whose studies are interrupted by a family tragedy and joins the circus
during the 1930s.) UCLA has rules about
filming on campus, reproduced in italic below.
