<p>Hi, I'm bio mojor transfer student.</p>
<p>I was thinking about living in Plaza for double, shared bath.
but I just found out that on campus apartment is much close to
bio department.</p>
<p>It seems like apartment is much cheaper, but
I thought it's bz of meals and dorms have cleaners coming.
Isn't it...?</p>
<p>Which is gonna be more convenience with cheaper money?
I just want to live in double.</p>
<p>It depends what you're looking for. Do you have any friends at UCLA? How important is the "college experience" (or as close as you can get it) to you? I transferred this year and decided to live in the apartments to save money...I only had a couple of acquantainces, so it was a little hard to adjust initially. Overall, I'd say living in an apartment is cheaper. But as far as convenience...dorms.</p>
<p>When you refer to the on campus apartment, are you referring to the University Apartments? I don't believe UCLA has any apartments on campus- the closest ones are on Apartment row west of campus. Good luck in trying to get a spot...a few fellow transfers (along with me) applied for University Apartments and only one of us got it...just apply for it, but start diligently looking for a private apartment. Good luck!</p>
