<p>I applied for a single apartment as a transfer student. I haven't been able to get any specific information though on what exactly the apartments at ucla are like. I keep seeing people say "I've heard bad things..." and the like, with absolutely no specifics. That kind of thing can drive you nuts!! Does it really have some bad factors compared to a non campus owned apartment?
Any experiences by people who have lived in the campus owned apartments really appreciated!!</p>
<p>I’m interested tooooo!!</p>
<p>bummmmp a lump</p>
<p>Yeah,I want to know as well…BUMPPP</p>
<p>I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for but my friend lives in Westwood and goes to UCLA and lives off-campus… it’s pretty damn expensive. She shares a tiny one bedroom apartment with 3 other girls, and she pays about 700 to 800 a month.</p>
<p>^ i think they are asking about the apartments that are specifically for off-campus transfer students that you can apply for through UCLA housing.</p>
<p>i personally haven’t seen any of them. last year my boyfriend looked at them and he said they were small, about the size of a dorm room and weren’t very nice. the furniture that it came with wasn’t updated especially compared to the on-campus dorms.</p>
<p>i’m renting an apartment with 3 other girls for next year. my rent is only $590/month for a 2 bed 1 bth and it includes parking. i did get lucky on this but the average monthly rent is between $620-$700 for off-campus apartments not run through UCLA. you can find places that are closer to the $600 range, some are a little run down and others aren’t as close to campus. but people renting are mostly college kids or college kids lived there at one point so it isn’t be like we are living in pent houses or anything (looks wise at least).</p>
<p>Anything under $1000 isn’t really what I’d call “damn expensive” considering the price for a university-owned apartment is somewhere into the 1000s and above. Hell, $600-800 sounds like getting away with theft when compared! :)</p>
<p>Anymore personal opinions appreciated. Besides size, anything else? I wonder stuff like are the rules of not producing too much noise and such violated more easily since it’s off campus(if there would be a link there). Also, no stained, really run over furniture I hope…if that were the case I wouldn’t want to think what the mattress might look like.</p>
<p>I applied for the off-campus apartments with the hope I might get lucky and get into a three person/three bedroom but now that I’ve seen some of the off-campus non-university options I’m regretting spending the 30 bucks! You can find a decent room for under a thousand, and it’s easy to find a cheap room with one other person (I’m surprised someone would pay 700-800 to share a room between three people, sharing a room between two averages $700, I’ve seen a lot of places prices $600 and $500 even). Although, it’s nice with the off-campus apartments that you aren’t held to a year-long lease or that you have to bring your own furnishings. Moving is a b*tch and having to sublet if you can’t afford the summer rent is even worse =/</p>
<p>Hi, I was wondering if anyone can tell me about the UCLA university apartments north? I guess it is on 945 Weyburn…Is it a nice place to live for a transfer student OR is too far away from action and remote?</p>
<p>honestly not that good… most of the better apartments are located in south of wilshire, as opposed to north of wilshire where most of the campus owned apartments are at. I’d suggest living in the dorms as a transfer.</p>
