How does housing work for transfers?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Los Angeles

I’ve tried going through UCLA’s housing website and I just get more and more confused.

So my main question is, does UCLA have on campus apartments for just two-three people? Each person having their own bedroom? I’d love to live on campus but I do NOT want to share a bedroom with somebody. If they do, how would I go about getting one of these apartments? What are my chances?

And if anybody knows, does UCI and UCSB have this? I don’t want to go and post this exact same thread over in those sections.

Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I just saw the housing thread. I’m going to go through it. But if anybody is willing to help in the meantime because most of it seems for freshman housing.

  1. Apartments are off campus but not far away from campus. But some of the off campus apartments are closer to school than some on campus residential halls.
  2. Studio is the only type of room that's possible to have a single room. However, some studios are double room or even triple as well. Single room are extremely rare and expensive (like 12k+ per 9 months).
  3. On campus single room are present but very limited, and you may have to share living room or bath room stuffs like that. It's also very expensive, if not more expensive.
  4. You don't have much chance getting these single rooms. I wanted a single room or 1 bedroom double last year, and I am a continuing student that can directly sign up for rooms. I only ended up with a 2 bedroom double with 3 other people in the apartment.
  5. If you want your own bedroom, you have better chance just to look for off campus private apartments, either a studio/1bedroom, or a private room in a 2BR/3BR apartment. Usually it will be around $1000 on the lower end and around $1500 average, plus utilities and internet and other things.

Not sure about UCSB, but UCI has a better housing conditions. Many of my friends at UCI pay less rent than me and live in luxurious apartments. The only one that live on campus I know, live in a private bedroom in a townhouse. I would say UCSB will be similar since Irvine and Santa Barbara’s housing is no where near as expensive as in LA, more so in Westwood.

Yeah, I figured i’d have to go the private apartment route if I wanted to be alone. Thank you so much!
