      1. The famous TV shows “Heroes”, in the last season, the character Claire was supposed to be attending some Arlington University, but it was UCLA.

        Also How I met your mother, Ted was teaching at some university. IDK what the university it is in the show, but it was filmed infront of Royce Hall.

  1. GOTCHA! was filmed all over the campus. Funny how a chase scene from north campus suddenly is in south campus. Also includes the residential areas, Gayley Terrace.
