Getting mail in dorms

<p>Do we get a mailbox?</p>

<p>You share a mailbox with your roommates. Any packages will held in another location and you should get an e-mail when a package arrives for you.</p>

<p>yea you get a mailbox, but the mailroom sucks big time. i only checked my mail like 3-4 times all year, but I checked the day I was leaving for the summer this year. Come to find out, theres a stack of like 10 letters sitting in my box, all from the wrong room. Someone had been sending mail all year to someone else and it had accumulated in my box. And the letters that were misplaced in my box were clearly labelled correctly and with the appropriate room number but they were still placed in my box.</p>

<p>So the moral of the story is, don’t tell people to mail you things unless you can afford to never receive said things, it’s very unreliable.</p>

<p>So I shouldn’t foward my magazine subscriptions to my UCLA address?</p>

<p>So should I get a PO Box instead?</p>

<p>Yeah, I want to forward my magazine subscriptions to my dorm, but if it’s that unreliable, then I’ll just have my parents mail me my stuff in a package.</p>

<p>what will my address be if my room number is 4xx in dykstra hall?</p>

<p>[Mailing</a> Addresses for On-Campus Housing (1001503)](<a href=“http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1001503]Mailing”>http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1001503)</p>

<p>I don’t think the mail room is bad. My subscription came by monthly. All the letters people sent over I’ve received.
You just have to be sure that the address and room is on there.</p>

<p>If I’m in courtside, how do I put my room number on the mailing address? Do I put the C# prefix or is just the room number okay?</p>

<p>When I log into housing, it says my address is:</p>

<p>DYKSTRA HALL
351 Charles E Young Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90095
Room/Apartment - xxx</p>

<p>and this is what the mailing address site says to do:</p>

<p>Student’s registered name (no nicknames), Room #____
Dykstra Hall/De Neve Plaza
351 Charles Young Drive West
Los Angeles, CA 90024-1314</p>

<p>Does it matter which zip code we use?</p>

<p>I have the same question as Gotlactose.</p>

<p>

Write the whole thing down. There’ll be a C1-312, C2-312, etc. so you should write it to prevent ambiguity.

Unless something has changed all the residence halls use the 90024 zip code.</p>

<p>UCLA changed zip codes several years ago, and it seems like some departments/offices haven’t updated that info yet.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>You put the house number (C1, C2, C…C8, etc), followed by the room number. Eg.
C6-218 (sorry if I just used someones # lol…it was random, I promise)!</p>

<p>90095 is UCLA’s campus zip code (yes, it has its own zip code). 90024 is the zip code for the Westwood area.</p>

<p>I always used 90024 for the dorm addresses. I use 90095 when addressing envelopes to a campus building (eg mailing a transcript to Murphy or something). I guess it’s because campus buildings don’t really have a standard mailing address (eg 1105 Murphy Hall Box #####) so if the postal service sees 90095, they know to just give it to UCLA and they will sort it out.</p>

<p>if were living in sunset village, do we need to put down: Delta Terrace B7, Room# 239A?
or just Room# 239A?</p>

<p>Put Delta Terrace B7-239A</p>
