Oh yeah! I pass by that by all the time, lol. It does get pretty hectic on that street once 4PM rolls by, if not a little bit earlier, especially with the UCLA students jaywalking like usual, lol. Are you still debating between Davis and UCLA?</p>
<p>yea a bit. UCLA gave me $21267 in scholarship money that does not have to be paid back. UC Davis gave me $14,478 in scholarship monkey that does not have to be paid back.</p>
<p>rheel3- if i do take my car, I may just use the 924 westwood parking spots.</p>
<p>^
That’s interesting! Usually UC Davis is the one that gives out the most financial aid, I’m a bit surprised. Anyways, good luck in your decision and if you have any more questions, just let me know!</p>
<p>Oh and have fun with parking, lol!</p>
<p>rheel3- do UCLA students use the parking garages in westwood village?</p>
<p>^
I have met some students who didn’t get parking permits on-campus who park in those garages, I mean, if you really need your car, why not?</p>
<p>Im thinking of not bringing my car fall quarter to see how it goes.</p>
<p>I know parking is…competitive at UCLA, but those garages are pretty pricey. Is it more a convenience issue for you than a price issue? </p>
<p>Also, I can’t remember if this was asked, but do the parking permits work like the farther away you live, the better the chance of getting one?</p>
<p>@natjan: Pretty much. If you commute to UCLA you’ll most likely receive a permit successfully. I got mine today. I went in person and bought a summer sessions parking permit for 200 bucks. Pricey, I know. No questions asked, the woman at the register just looked over my application, typed my name and student I.D. and then asked for the money. She then gave me a placard, a sticker, and some card we wave in front of parking lot gates to have them open. I suspect they’re more receptive to requests if you go in person, as buying them online may be convenient, but you’re just read as another name on a computer screen.</p>

Summer session(s) isn’t nearly as competitive as during the year, yes there are a bunch of cars but not as much as during the school year. </p>
<p>@natjan Yep yep! Not just where you live, because I know people on-campus who have them, but they work away from LA (not accessible on let’s say the metro). I also know students who live on-campus who got their permits just because, they don’t even work, so I don’t know, maybe they just got lucky!</p>
<p>For those wondering about Housing:</p>
<p>I emailed Housing about my own concerns, because I’m Regents and still haven’t gotten anything regarding my housing and apparently everyone found out in April! Anyways, I asked when incoming transfer students get their offer and they told June 2nd. Isn’t the SIR deadline on the 1st? This is why I said, get those applications in ASAP. Once June 2nd passes, they’re working on lottery students!</p>
<p>hi tiffany, how’s your weekend?</p>
<p>I wanted to ask you about the social scene, specifically for juniors and seniors. Majority of seniors and juniors have been there since freshman year. so now those juniors and seniors have formed their circle of friends and whatnot. Since i’m coming as a transfer I won’t know anyone. I don’t mind being friends with first year students, but I’m also 21 and would like to hang out with people around my age as well. This next year should have been my last year (2008-2012), but during my second year at CC I didn’t know what I wanted to major and stuff. Anyway I basically wasted a whole year.</p>
<p>Are there places where you’ll just find seniors and juniors. I assume that most if not all upper division students live off campus, but I signed up for dorms.</p>
<p>^
Weekend is busy busy! I’m working on some SA stuff, blah. </p>
<p>Anyways, to answer your question there’s no real “spot” to find people, you have to take the initiative and find people. To be honest, I socialize with people in my classes a lot and that’s how I formed my group of “friends”. Be cautious with that word too, lol. I could get into this complicated argument about acquaintances and friends, the latter being more difficult to obtain (obviously) but that’s a different story I actually haven’t figured out until recently…moving on! Don’t stress out about it, if you’re willing, then you’ll find people, be open to talking around the dorms, your neighbors, attend your weekly meetings (although mostly only freshmen do that, lol) and you’ll find some people you get along with, I assure you!</p>
<p>hello.</p>
<p>can i sit in a class without being enrolled at ucla?? i want to review some topics in math before i go into upper division engineering courses, so i was thinking attending lectures at ucla. i dont need credit, just for learning purpose.</p>
<p>also, i had enrolled in one class at ucla during summer, but dropped it as i changed my plan. even if i dont take any class, do i need to pay the processing fee? what happens if i dont pay and let time pass?</p>

<p>That’s a list of classes where I think professors are aware of potential sit ins. I went there last week for the Shakespeare class but unfortunately, the teacher was playing a movie so I left 
Oh well, bad timing I guess!</p>
<p>To passwordis123: Technically you can go sit in any class, use the registrar site to figure out what time the interested class is at and attend. But if you do end up going more than once, I suggest you contact the professor and letting them know ahead of time, you’d be surprised how often a professor looks around the room and memorizes people’s faces, lol. </p>
<p>If you drop the course, you have to pay those $150. They warn you before you enroll that would be the case…so…yeah, lol. If you don’t pay it and you let time pass, you’ll get a hold on your account and you won’t be able to enroll in classes, so sorry…you gotta pay up! Hahaha.</p>
<p>has anyone filled out thier “educational planner”? on the transfer orientation page it says you must fill this out before you can register for orientation, but i can not find a link to it on myucla (which is where it is supposedly).</p>
<p>any ideas?</p>
<p>@LizfromHollywood </p>
<p>log in to myUCLA and then click on survey (its right next to admissions) after clicking on survey you should see a link that says “Orientation Educational Planner 2011”…click on that.</p>
<p>I filled that survey out the other night. It is time consuming, but it is nice to be asked about your education etc and what your plans are. It made me actually sit and think about what my true concerns are.</p>
<p>awww…that sucks. well good lesson learned: school is a business.</p>
