<p>generally, do they assign freshmen to room with freshmen? i mean even in plaza and suite? or does it go by random?</p>
<p>Most of the returning students already had roommates before most of the first years even knew they were accepted to UCLA... So, that being said, generally first years are paired up with other first years for roommates. Within that pool, students are then paired up as best as possible to others with similar preferences.</p>
