Is UCLA med curriculum as laid back and flexible as Stanford's & Yale's?

My dream school would be a school with Yale's curriculum (the "Yale System"-I'm sure everyone knows what I'm talking about) in an environment like UCLA (westwood). I absolutely loved Westwood village. I've heard that UCLA students are also laid back, curriculum all P/F, but again I just heard this, and did not get to meet too many students there. What are your thoughts? Any facts about UCLA med and its curriculum, students, etc will be welcome.

If this is any indication of the laid-backness of UCLA's curriculum.... it might make you happy. The day of my interview also happened to be during the week of exams. Our tour guides and luch hosts (3 first years) told us that they spent the previous evening and three hours that morning playing X box on their big screen TV. Library?? Study groups?? No mention of those. They were so laid back it was s-c-a-r-y.
