<p>one time my friend stole a fruit, and that lady who swipes saw her but didn't say anything. but then her boss saw the whole situation, went up to her and b****ed about her nothing doing anything. so that lady had to come and say that don't do that because it gets her in trouble..</p>
<p>What!?! I always steal fruit. You're allowed to carry one piece of fruit out anyway.</p>
<p>Oh it was multiple fruits...along with several cookies.</p>
<p>geez...I'm an outright criminal I guess.</p>
<p>honestly they should be happy someone is even taking their crappy cookies.... I wouldn't even give those cookies to the homeless in People's Park.</p>
<p>^^ yeah you might be charged with attempted murder. . . .!</p>

Most people would say that the freshman dorm experience is one you don't want to miss, if you can afford it financially. Maybe if you were extremely outgoing or involved in an activity that let you make lots of friends (i.e. a sport or band), I could see not living in the dorms. But for the average freshman it's a wonderful chance to make friends.

<p>I don't know. I think living in the apartments is much better in all respects. I would have done it as a freshman if I knew. The biggest problems I feel are the overpriced crap food we were forced to purchase with the dorms (many people end up eating out),the extremely cramped living space (I lived in the units), and dirty bathrooms.
Also, I'm a 4th year and I haven't kept in contact with a single floor member from freshman year. I recently saw a couple of them (individually) and found out that they haven't kept in touch with anyone either. Of course we're facebook friends, but that means nothing...All of my friends at Cal I met through classes and extracurriculars. We just have way more in common (same major, interests, etc.)</p>
<p>The experience really depends on the floor and who you live with. It certainly offers the chance to make lasting friendships, but by no means guaranteed.</p>
<p>2008-2009</a> On-Campus Housing Rates</p>
<p>That's more than $1600 more at Cal for a res hall double. And UCLA is in Westwood, not near a street full of bums. Ridiculous.</p>
<p>My UCLA alum parents TOLD me to go to UCLA! Wow, what a difference in price!</p>
<p>Well, maybe Cal needs to help out with the $800k/year UC prez, or the $1 mil +/year Tedford.</p>
<p>Seriously tho, if I had gone to UCLA, my parents would be paying zero housing, because they'd make me live at home. So the going to Cal option? Priceless. :-)</p>
