Hi Guys, I’m an upcoming transfer student who got offered a “2 Bd/8 Person” room at the Westwood Chateau University Apartment. While I’m happy I got an apartment to live in (it’s what I wanted since I’m a diabetic so having a refrigerator to store my medicine and being able to make meals whenever I need to really eases my mind), I’m not too sure about the “2 Bd/8 Person” thing. I’ve always been an introvert; a single child with no siblings or roommates so I am not yet comfortable with living with others.
I spent hours trying to research the room or the apartment in general but there’s literally no information on the UCLA’s website or anywhere else describing this particular apartment, except for a few forum posts. The Westwood Chateau website (http://www.housing.ucla.edu/roomsignup/Westwood-Chateau.htm) does not even list a “2 Bd/8 Person”. If you or someone you know has lived in this apartment and/or room, please share your/their experience with me.
From “2 Bd/8 Person”, I can only assume this apartment will have 2 bedrooms with 8 occupants. Not sure how many bathrooms, or refrigerators, or beds there are. That seems way too hectic to me. I had to come to terms with living with one roommate, but 7 more? I don’t know If I can do it. I’ve been looking for other alternatives such as renting an non-university apartment or filing an appeal to the Disabled Students Housing Appeals Board but I’m unsure how that’s going to go.
What do you guys suggest?
