<p>does anyone know how to make an initial payment?</p>
<p>The UCLA billing system has recently been combined into “BruinBill.” Your housing payments are probably now done on your BruinBill account (previously affectionately known as your BAR account) on URSA.</p>
<p>So just log into URSA (get used to it for paying fees) and click on “BruinBill Accounts” under **Financial **. My guess is that initial housing payments are now located there (it used to be on a separate Housing page).</p>
<p>Glad to help.</p>
<p>that’s what i thought… but the initial payment does not show up in my bruinbill account. it just says i have no payments due…i’m confused</p>
<p>I believe our BruinBill accounts will be charged on Thursday, May 17, and then we’ll have one week to actually make the payment (until Thursday, May 24).</p>
<p>anyone know much about saxon suites? – my son was assigned to that, but he really wants a triple dorm . . .not to mention that Saxon is several thousand more expensive. </p>
<p>He has requested a change to a triple dorm, but we’re not holding our breath for the change (dd who is a graduating senior got assigned to DeNeve Plaza as a freshman and requested a change to a dorm, but didn’t get it)</p>
<p>Saxon (and almost identical Hitch) is okay, but definitely not for everybody. It’s older and not as clean. The bathroom shower stalls are small and kinda gross. There will be a lot of space with the living room, but the place isn’t as social as a residence hall. There will be basketball and volleyball courts right outside, so that’s nice. It’s a moderate walk to the rest of campus, so that’s not bad. </p>
<p>I think freshmen should experience a residence hall or plaza, first before living in a suite.</p>
<p>I lived there one summer. There are no elevators, so if you live on the third floor as I did, prepare for some heavy lifting. Thefts are also kinda more prevalent in the suites during the winter and spring breaks. When I used to work for the police department, we also did more security rounds there because it’s more common to find drinkers and smokers around the suites, and because the RAs or their bosses requested patrol buddies. Be smart and keep the windows locked and closed with the wooden posts they should provide when you leave the room.</p>
