a juniors housing dilemma

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

<p>Im going to be a junior this fall,
and i still havent decided as to where im going to live
first year i lived in de neve, im gonna be honest i hated it when i was there,
only because i felt so segregated from the outside world, and not having a car to get me to places.
but looking back yes 1st year was definitely one of the best years of my life
i think i was just going with the trend of hating on dorms like all my friends did
anyway for 2nd year i did apply for dorms, but i missed the initial payment, yeah stupid me
and i ended up commuting 2nd year. and still am, for summer sessions. i dont think i could do this anymore tho
so for 3rd year my options would be : apartment, co op, or dorms(if i can still apply that is)
i really dont have anyone to live with, and ill probably starve myself to death if i were to live alone so apartment is a bit iffy
co op, while great on price and location, seems to have a reputation of having an unsanitary environment.
dorms, which is exactly where i want to live, are quiet expensive, especially when its myself pulling all these loans out to cover for the costs...
i dont mind it though really dorms have a lot to offer and is convenient, but being a 3rd year im not sure if ill be able to fit in again and if anything i would love to have a single dorm... though i hear its almost impossible unless you can prove that you are under certain conditions that could hinder proper living with roommates</p>

<p>so yeah thats basically whats going through my mind and i honestly dont know what to do
im sure at least some of you guys have gone through what im going through so can anyone guide me with some advice :(?</p>

<p>Seriously? The time to be making housing arrangements was months ago. On-campus is out of the question as the deadline was in April. Even if you were planning on living off-campus you should have been asking your friends if they wanted to room with you. </p>

<p>Just go with a coop if you’re on a budget.</p>

<p>okie i guess im screwed huh
has anyone tried filing an application for ucla housing this late?
i really want the university apartments but im assuming they’re already filled up…
but is there like any chance at all of getting ANYTHING at this time?</p>

<p>University apartments filled up the first day of housing sign-ups. I would say if there is a < .1% chance of getting a university apartment now.</p>

<p>You’ve gotta go off campus or commute now. Sorry :/</p>

<p>you can try to get on lottery housing… it isn’t guaranteed and you won’t know until sept… But i am sure there are a lot of people who declined their housing offer… (I did…) But yes I found my place in Westwood a month or two ago so yes you may be a lil late… good luck!</p>

<p>It’s never too late. Last year I submitted a housing app in August and got an on-campus (not apartments) housing offer.</p>
