<p>So my housing offer was a triple in Hedrick Summit.</p>

<p>I was happy that I got a plaza, but dissatisfied with the location and two (instead of one) room-mates. </p>

<p>I just accepted the offer and am thinking about filing a CAR. I was wondering though, what plaza do people generally think is the best. When I toured and talked to a few of my friends that are now sophomores at UCLA, they told me De Neve was the place to be. Any other opinions? I know Hedrick is nice because it is one of the newly opened plazas. I have also heard that is one of the less social and more isolated buildings, which worries me. So, has anyone heard which plazas are the best?</p>

<p>Also, the CAR has three different options for you to fill in for your requested change. I was wondering if there are only four possible outcomes: your current offer, or any of the three you select on the application. I definitely do not want to submit a CAR if it could potentially mean my request is rejected and I lose my current offer.</p>

<p>Thanks for your help!</p>

<p>To be honest, unless you’re socially ■■■■■■■■ and need to have people on your floor to have a “social life”, then go ahead and move to a more “social” place. I had the same worries at beginning of this year, but I realized that I get so busy with other things that the only time I’m in my room is when I need to do work or I want to have alone-time in my room. </p>

<p>I think Summitis one of the better buildings, since most returning students choose rieber vista/terrace, and they generally keep to themselves. So most of your floor in Summit will be first years.</p>

<p>Just my two cents</p>
