<p>how do you choose your housing? such as single, double or triple? if i turned in my housing application late (before the may 1st deadline), does it affect me housing? because im still not sure if i want to attend there or not because i dont want to pay 30 dollars and not go there.</p>
<p>you choose what you want when you apply. when you apply has no effect on your chances of getting what you want. its all random, NOT first come first serve. just as long as you get it in before the deadline.</p>
<p>I attended UCLA Honors day on Friday - they were very clear on the housing situation. The odds are 90% that all freshman will be housed in triple units.</p>
<p>They are taking off one of the halls for renovation this year + sophomores and juniors have first dibbs. </p>
<p>So better be prepared to live in a triple if you are heading for UCLA ....</p>
<p>haha you make it sound as if living in a triple is bad. i love my triple...i feel i have enough space, and we respect each other so its pretty awesome. plus, if one of your roommates wont take out the trash, another will. good stuff (except im usually the one taking out the trash haha)</p>
<p>If you're going to come to a school based on your housing preference then we really don't want you here because that just shows the type of person that you are (a shallow and facetious one).</p>
<p>uh spicyroll calm down...the poster was just asking if the deadline matters because he/she is still not sure if they're going to ucla. the poster never said that they would choose ucla based on housing.</p>
<p>I'm "shallow and facetious" because I'd rather live in a large well furnished dorm instead of a glorified closet for the next 4 years of my life? Grow up; you're a fool if you think that living conditions should have absolutely no say on where you want to go to college.</p>
<p>agreed- the fact that people are in triples, in and of itself, doesn't matter.
but it DOES matter to the extent that it affects a student's quality of life, because if they're not happy, they're not gonna enjoy college.
that said, a person could be in a double and have a miserable time. or even a single.
if a potential student is gonna be unhappy in a triple, then it's a concern.
...but again, we're straying away from the original topic xD</p>
<p>Play nice, everyone.</p>
<p>SpicyRoll, facetious isn't even the right word...But anyway, I don't really see myself as overly shallow, and I couldn't stand a triple. I had an apartment with 3 in one bedroom, and it was pretty awful at times. Different people have different tolerance levels for roommates. Mine is higher than most, but I know plenty of people my age (mid-20s) who couldn't live in a triple again.</p>

<p>I have a question: I was trying to do the housing app a moment ago in the 2nd page it asked for a passport picture... I don't have one so should I just skip it or do I have to have it... also can I change the information after I submitted it... like I heard we can request roommates but I don't know if my friends are going to ucla so can I change my app after they decide?</p>
<p>I just did it too, you can upload the pic later on (I also heard that you can get it taken at orientation, but I'm not sure if it's the same pic that they're asking for now) but I don't know if you can change anything else later on.</p>
<p>I was wondering if living in a hall will affect my study habits. I know social life is important but my gpa is very important too. I know there are exceptions to everything...but in general are halls TOO social? Are people obnoxiously loud after midnight and etc....</p>
<p>the way i see it, if you want to be (pretty) sure you can study in your dorm, choose a plaza.
you can go out and be social any time you want, and come back to a nice, quiet environment.
i haven't lived in a res hall, but by their very nature, you're NEVER going to end up with a floor that always stays in their rooms. and from what i hear, their study lounges are mainly used for socializing. whereas ours can actually be used for studying :rolleyes:</p>

<p>I have lived in a hall, and there are some awfully quiet floors. </p>
<p>Besides, put two headphones in your ears and it's amazing how much one can block out. :)</p>
