<p>Hello all, I was just wondering how long people typically live on campus. Since UCLA guarantees on-campus housing for so long, I just thought it would be interesting to see how many years people usually stay.</p>
<p>I would say the average is 2-3.</p>
<p>Most students live on-campus for two years. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>first year, almost everyone. second year, the majorty. 3rd year, minority. 4th year, very few.</p>
<p>Agreed with the above posters. Next year will be my third year and I will be living in the apartments, although this is only because all my friends are now moving off-campus. I would live in the dorms again in a heartbeat if people were staying, though.</p>
<p>I'll be a 4th year living on campus next year... Honestly the reason I'm doing it is because it's what my friends are doing.</p>
<p>Most freshmen are getting triples this year. What are most of you 2nd, 3rd, and 4th years getting - doubles/singles, or are some of you being forced into triples also (I hope not)?</p>
<p>We (2nd, 3rd, 4th yrs) actually get to pick our rooms, so what was mainly left over for the first years were the triples. It also depends on your sign-up times, but most will sign up for the doubles unless they have 2 other friends or want to pay less than they would if they had a doubles.</p>
<p>I had the final signup time for rooms... There were very very few doubles left open in the buildings I was looking at. There were still a ton of triples and a rather large number of singles open. I signed up for a double, but am now waiting to find out if I can upgrade to a single.</p>
<p>why do people move out to apts? why not just stay at the dorms?</p>
<p>sometimes apts are cheaper</p>
<p>*often cheaper + more space + more independence</p>
<p>yeah, but doesnt the food cost offset it?</p>
<p>People move to the apartments because they want to be more independent. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>apartment + food can still be (and often is) less than the price of dorms. unless you're in a res hall triple with 11 cub plan or something, then an apartment might be slightly more expensive (but then you still get more room and stuff).</p>
