<p>Do you get to choose your dormmates at UCLA b/c me and my friends are trying to get into UCLA together and hope to dorm together</p>
<p>I think you guys should worry about getting into UCLA before worrying about living together.</p>
<p>With regard to your question, yeah you can choose your roommates.</p>
<p>yea 10char</p>
<p>you guys might be better off getting an apartment, mainly because when there’s break (like winter break right now) you won’t get kicked out, or get charged an arm and a leg to stay. </p>
<p>staying in apartments is cheaper, but you have a few other things to worry about (mainly buying your own food) a friend of mine stays in a studio with one other person whereas i stay in a 1br apt with two other people. it all falls down into what you prefer, but keep an eye on craigslist for decent apartments!</p>
<p>Once you get in, you guys can be roommates!</p>
<p>i would not recommend apartments for first year, live in a dorm, get the social experience, have some fun before going into apartment with friends you made during the dorm days</p>
<p>then again as everyone says, worry about getting in the school before worry about getting the roommates :D</p>
