<p>I read the dorms room are 10' x 12'. I am in a triple, so 3 people, 3 beds, 3 desks, 3 closets etc. I realize the beds are bunked but I don't see how its possible to fit three people in that space. My bedroom now is 12' x 14' and no way could I fit three people in here.</p>
<p>There's a bunk and a loft. Under the loft is a desk and a smaller closet, so that saves some space. </p>
<p>take a look at this: <a href="http://www.housing.ucla.edu/housing_site/oncampus/tour/a2-q.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.housing.ucla.edu/housing_site/oncampus/tour/a2-q.htm</a></p>
<p>not sure if you can see much details from that though.</p>
<p>No it's definitely possible. It might be a tight fit for some but there's plenty of elbow room. So long as you don't bring too much extraneous furniture and stuff.</p>
<p>Yep. I think residence hall rooms are ~150 sqft. and plaza rooms are ~220 sqft, including closet space and bathroom (if applicable).</p>
<p>You should rethink how many people your current room would be serving if it was a dorm room. :)</p>
<p>Are you living in the residence halls, the plazas or the suites? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Hedrick Hall triple</p>
<p>yea they are pretty small...during the orientation I went up to a double in Rieber Vista....there was almost no space. I shudder to imagine how bad the triple would have been.</p>
<p>Are you kidding? I lived in a Rieber Vista double my first year and it was frickin' huge. Whenever I'd bring anyone in my room they'd be envious. Start counting your blessings guys.</p>
<p>riber vista is way different than hedrick. Riber Vista is a new one, where hedrick has some age.</p>
<p>Basically, you will not be using your room for anything other than sleeping, and possibly surfing the web. One of the desks will be under one of the beds, and the other two beds will be bunk beds. </p>
<p>Imagine high ceiling, cement walls, and uncomfortable chairs. It's why they call it the dorm experiance.</p>
<p>Why would you complain about your dorm having high ceilings? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>More stairs to climb! :p</p>
<p>which would you prefer or which one is better: the bunk or the loft. Does the loft have a smaller closet compare to the bunk bed?</p>
<p>triple is okay if you're not a slob and have an avalanche of stuff lying around. i find triples to have an adequate amount of space, and i dont necessarily need to pay more money for more space. but this is personal preference i guess, some people really need/want a lot more space or feel too cramped in a res hall. </p>
<p>i tripled for 2 years in a residence hall.</p>
<p>momca, the closets aren't associated with specific beds. It's usually just determined by who gets there first.. or if the people are nice, they decide with their roommates. </p>
<p>I would say neither because both don't necessarily have railings. :eek: I think the closets built into the rooms are slightly bigger compared to the wooden one under the loft.</p>
<p>ucapplicant05: as to bed assignment on a first come first..don't u think that may create an instant animosity among the roommates. Do socal residents get to move in first?</p>
<p>possibly, but that is just now it works, unless you contact all of the roommates and decide beforehand so theres no suprises. you'll get their email and phone number in the move in packet they mail you later.</p>
<p>and where you are from has no relevancy on your move in date.</p>
<p>I think all the first years have the 24th as their move in date. If you're a move in assisstant or in marching band, you get to move in a week earlier than the rest.</p>
<p>wait i thought it was the 22nd</p>
<p>its spanned over several days. you are "assigned" a day and time, but they dont really enforce that much i dont think. if you really wanna beat the crowd, move in the day after move in ends. :D</p>
<p>^ haha yeah or on midnight the day it starts.</p>
<p>Seriously though, move-in days are ridiculously crowded. Plan on spending a long time to get it done. Hell, just waiting for a non-full elevator might take a few hours ;)</p>
