<p>Which is the cheapest?</p>
<p>Apartments</p>
<p>What's the price range for apartments?</p>
<p>Are the apartment of lesser quality or something?</p>
<p>~550-675 for a shared room in a 2 Bed 2 Bath around WWOOD
change in price =/= quality always... </p>
<p>not necess lesser quality... ucla has soem of the most exp dorms in the country</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>Also, you get food and utilities with the dorm price that UCLA offers.</p>
<p>Apartments don't include food and sometimes utilities are not included. </p>
<p>Although, utilities and food usually do not skyrocket the price of the housing from 550-675 (mme-lin) to what a UCLA dorm costs (1100 a month, I think?), so the apt ends up being cheaper.</p>
<p>o and u can def find cheaper places in the periphery: palms, culver city, mar vista... yadada and take the 8 or 12 every mornin'</p>
<p>dorms are a rip-off...anyone who thinks otherwise is probably staying in one right now :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Or probably does not have to pay for it themselves :).</p>
<p>Although, I do miss the location. My uni apt is about a 10 minute longer walk :(!!!</p>
<p>Lazy. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>It kind of annoys me that I may have to walk = to the amount of time it takes me to drive to school. But then again, the only experience I have with driving to UCLA is with classes that occurred during summer (low amount of people) and during times when there was no traffic (12-1PM).</p>
<p>But yeah, also lazy :).</p>
<p>What are the Gayley, Kelton (I guess there are two), and Levering Apartments like?</p>
<p>I'm on the <a href="http://www.thewestwood4.com%5B/url%5D">http://www.thewestwood4.com</a> website and the apartments look really nice. Can I get an insiders opinion?</p>
<p>Is walking distance bad?</p>
<p>Quality of apartments varies drastically just down a single block of North Village... and for small price differentials. Go figure. </p>
<p>I'm farthest in terms of No. Village and entering UCLA. It takes me about 15-20 mins to get from my apt. to Pauley Pavillion. And then... another 10-12 minutes to wherever building on-campus. In short, I'm walking for at least an hour everyday. </p>
<p>You get used to it.</p>
<p>That's fine. The time spent at the gym can be used getting to class and back.</p>
<p>my guess is that the apartments are much more boring than the dorms. In my first night at apartment, me and my roommates used our own computers the whole night</p>
<p>apartments are definitely preferable to dorms once you're past your first year.</p>

<hr>
<p>meh... up to you to make what u want of it. </p>
<p>comfort, space, price$$$, buying own food & making it, privacy >>> living in stuffy dorm room & socializing.... for me -- </p>
<p>idk. dorming was OK and pretty fun but i got tired of it and wanted more time alone that and well, </p>
<p>living in triple with 2 other girls with bathroom? 1 shared bed 1 bath? 9-11K/year? </p>
<p>vs. </p>
<p>2 bed 2 bath 3 other girls .. 2girls/room.... 578/month? </p>
<p>Bleh.</p>
<p>Well that's quite an unfair calculation because that 578, I assume, does not include food or utilities. If it does, I apologize. Also, if it does, I ENVY YOU. But regardless, it's still hella cheaper to go apt, but saying it that way makes it seem a lot better to go apt.</p>
<p>I kind of want dorm again because I'm a transfer, and this is my second year here. My first year, I hung out with my old friends from hs, and because of that, I haven't met anyone or made any friends.</p>
<p>Food and utilities? HOW MUCH WILL YOU NEED TO SPEND FOR FOOD?! $10 a day? Eat Burger Kign twice? 300 for the month? </p>
<p>utitlies? 200 for cable tv, itnernet, gas electricy whatever (if u notice thw TWC cable/internet special or whatever) split between 4 people? 50? OMFGG ... how badly do u need to watch cable TV? only thing on is pure crap.. otehrwise DL them on torrents or some **** </p>
<p>--> 350 + 587 --> 900? 900*9 = 8100? Tat's still less than dorming</p>
<p>and really... your fat ass isnt goign to spend 10/a day on food if ur smart about things </p>
<p>plus how can u compare living in a double (in 2 bed 2 bath) to living in a TRIPLE 1 bed 1 bath where the latetr STILL costs more?!</p>
<hr>
<p>I pay 587 for rent... Roughly 50/month for internet and utitlies crap. Ergh and eating? Grocery Store. Shop smart! asiodhosiadfjsaiojr3290r790fasdojfl;dasasd </p>
<p>Must factor. in. living with 2 other chicks. in ****ing confined space with 1 bath and unwanted guests... both inside and wtihin the hall (at times)... being supervised like a child in dorm floor... that sort of thing... and youre still payign more?! WHAOHAWODH siojsdioadasdas</p>
<p>Haha, I've heard some of my friends tell me about how they don't know how to cook and because of that they spend a tonnnnnnn on food. I can cook enough to be able to shop at a market for cheap and make my own food. I think I can get by with 20-30 a week if I go home to shop at the azn places. </p>
<p>Well, I can adapt to either situation, so they are comparable to me. But then again, I have yet to live in my 2bd2bath apt for longer than half a day, so maybe when I've lived there longer, I can fairly compare it. I'll probably love the space more :D.</p>
