<p>I read in the UCSD thread that you can apply for housing through a non-binding contract, and it's completely free.
Is there a similar process for UCLA?</p>
<p>There’s a 30 dollar application fee, so you’ll lose that if you don’t accept your housing offer.</p>
<p>And there’s no priority for applying early as I believe there is at UCSD, so there’s no reason to apply until you’re sure where you’re going.</p>
