<p>Which do you think is better?</p>
<p>Should I just go for a triple residence hall? Is it worth the 1.5k in savings?</p>
<p>double is way better than a triple </p>
<p>but as a freshman there is no way you’re going to get a double anyways even if you go for it so just go for a triple plaza</p>
<p>are you given your choice room type on a first come first serve basis?</p>
<p>you’re not given anything on first come first serve, for freshman you just submit it by the deadline and its a random draw</p>
<p>i guess if you mean like your ranking, then yes i would guess they would try to put your in your first preference before your last</p>
<p>second year on you literally pick which exact room you want so there is none of the ranking of preferences</p>
<p>Doubles = ALWAYS worth it. But it’s not really your choice, UCLA just pretends to give you a choice. I know plenty of people who requested plazas and got halls and who requested halls but got plazas.</p>
<p>I feel like a moron for asking, but what is the difference between plaza and hall? Where are the parties at?</p>
<p>just put down double, and prepare for a triple :D</p>
<p>omegared, see the housing thread.</p>
<p>parties are off campus. :p</p>
<p>some freshmen do get doubles. like me! so there is a chance</p>
<p>About 90% of freshmen are in triples. Put double first, but just know you’ll prob be in a triple.</p>
