Current Bruins Taking Questions! (Housing, Campus Life, Majors, etc.)

<p>How do I sign up for a minor? Is there any way to do it online or do I have to wait until registration for classes?</p>

<p>rusoboy23,</p>

<p>Signing up isn't important. You don't have to sign up to take the classes for the minor. Just do that later.</p>

<p>But when it does come time, you just go to the department and ask to be part of it. It's really that easy.</p>

<p>HELP it keeps saying you did not enter a valid username.. and i did its firstname.lastname</p>

<p>and it keeps saying not valid username. it starts w/ a letter.. it is 15 characters.. ughhh</p>

<p>perhaps it's already taken?</p>

<p>Question: when can we apply for housing? if it's as soon as April, would it be preferable to register ASAP? I won't be able to decide on which campus to attend until mid-April and I hope it won't limit my housing choices :/ Thanks!</p>

<p>The sooner you do it, the better. If you don't apply soon, they might stick you in a broom closet in the Dykstra basement.</p>

<p>You don't want to know what's in there. Trust me.</p>

<p>:D</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply, I have one more question about housing. Am I obligated to attend UCLA if I apply for housing?</p>

<p>ahah its IMPOSSIBLE to be taken.. NO ONE has my name.. tis very unique..</p>

<p>i did FIRSTNAME.LASTNAME
can u place dots in between them?!</p>

<p>**are dots allowed? lol..</p>

<p>I'm puh-retty sure that **** ain't first come, first serve. It's all random ****.</p>

<p>Bring up this thread. . .</p>

<p>Hi guys, this is my first post here after several days of forum trolling. Anyway..the questions. I know they're commonly asked questions, so there must be other people wondering the same thing. Sorry if they've already been answered- I kinda skimmed through the first 15 pages of this thread :/</p>

<ol>
<li><p>I understand that it definitely isn't necessary to have a car if you live on campus. So how many first-years bring their cars despite the lack of need? How is the parking situation?</p></li>
<li><p>Do most people have a desktop computer or a laptop? (Or both?) I have a slightly old 17inch laptop that I'm planning to use for a year or two. The extra performance of a media laptop is nice, but the thing is just too heavy to lug around class all day. </p></li>
<li><p>Residence halls, plazas, suites..pros/cons for a freshman?</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<ol>
<li><p>not too many..at least not for the first quarter. It's no big deal if you do bring one and manage to get a permit, though your friends will probably be impressed.</p></li>
<li><p>most people have laptops, some have desktops, some have both. It really doesn't matter :rolleyes: If you like your desktop go ahead and bring it. I leave mine at home so I won't be tempted to play video games during the week, and since I go home most weekends I want to have something nice to use at home. I really doubt you'll be bringing your laptop to classes. Most people don't, unless its for computer science</p></li>
<li><p>im a lazy bones so i'll leave that from someone else. but it seems like most people like wherever they end up living unless they have crappy roommates or something.</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>chances are you are probably not going to get a parking permit unless you NEED the car to go to an off campus job or something</li>
<li>most people use laptops it really depends on your needs</li>
<li>there is a sticky post in this board telling you all about housing, but I have to say that plaza is quiet to the point that it would be social to have 2 open doors on a plaza floor...</li>
</ol>

<p>I would like to get some classes done this summer at my local community college before I get to UCLA. Is it possible for me to do this, and if so how do I coordinate it with UCLA? Also, what classes would it be best for me to get done?</p>

<p>i know this is a dumb ? but do students get free tickets to UCLA sporing events (like football, bball) cuz Cal does 2.</p>

<p>UCLA students get admission to all home sporting excepts except for basketball and football, same goes for Cal.</p>

<p>cal gets free basketball but their football is over 100 dollars this year... we don't get basketball and football but everything else is free with bruincard</p>

<p>just how impossible is it for freshmen to get parking permits? what kind of loops do you need to jump through to get your hands on one of those</p>

<p>and how much do they cost?</p>
