There is a Training Center, based on UCLA's Acosta Athletic Training Complex, next to another unnamed building that is architecturally similar to UCLA's basketball arena, the, before its 2012 renovation. The campus also features a track-and-field complex, based on UCLA's.

Trivia

 * ULSA was first mentioned in the Grand Theft Auto IV series in a rant by talk-show host John Smith of the show "Conspire" on the WKTT Radio. Smith claims that Nazi scientists developing population control techniques ended up at the University of San Andreas, Los Santos after the Second World War. The program is heard in the DLCs (The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony).
 * ULSA is also mentioned in a Weazel News report in Grand Theft Auto IV, with ULSA's women's gymnastics coach apparently being implicated in a sexual harassment scandal.
 * In Sue Murry's San Andreas Election Campaign video, the university's training center was used as a school called Los Santos Elementary.
 * According to Lester Crest's dialoge during Heist Prep: EMP Device, he had in the past applied for a computer science professorship with ULSA, but was denied. As revenge, he hacked into their staff server and left a backdoor "so wide a drunken freshman could stumble through it".
 * The Latin motto pictured on the university seal "quisque comoedus est resumo ad nauseam" roughly translates to "Every comedian is renewed forever".
 * Some pedestrians can be heard referencing "UCLS" in idle dialogue or while speaking on their mobile phones. This is a developer oversight, as "UCLS" would seemingly stand for University of California, Los Santos.
