What do you think of UCLA’s decision to sell the Hannah Carter Japanese Garden?

Stephanie Lee
Fourth-year, communication studies
“As a Japanese person, that’s sad. I wish I had known that UCLA owned a garden.”

Reed McCardell
Third-year, molecular, cell and developmental biology
“I see no problem. If they feel like they should sell it, it’s their decision.”

Caroline Yin
Second-year, microbiology, immunology and molecular genetics
“I’ve never been but I would love to go because I love Japanese gardens. It would be great to go during finals when you’re stressed to just relax.”

Adrine Gdakian
First-year, chemistry
“That kind of sucks. If I knew about it, I would go there all the time. I just knew it existed, I didn’t know that UCLA was affiliated.”

Lawrence Lee
Fourth-year graduate student, music composition
“I honestly don’t know because I wasn’t aware of the fact it was there. But it’s understandable because of the budget. I’m sure it was a reluctant decision. but still understandable.”

Spencer Graham-Thille
First-year, civil engineering
“I don’t know all the numbers, but I know that the school’s running out of money and they could make money by selling the garden. I don’t personally see myself going [to the garden], but I’m not an authority on the subject.”
