Note to Night Owls About Avoiding Wilshire

From time to time, we repeat our suggestion to avoid coming to UCLA via Wilshire Boulevard due to subway construction and instead use the Sunset Boulevard entrance. Even if you are a night owl and are coming to campus at late hours, the advice applies. See below from LA Metro:
