<p>some res halls have metal framed beds and there should be a white board outside on your door. otherwise there arent really any magnetic surfaces.</p>
<p>but really....you can probably fit your magnets in your pocket so its not really a big deal to bring them....</p>
<p>rooms have a tack wall or tack boards, so bring thumb tacks or push pins if you want.</p>
<p>so about the open transfer period, you cant ask Housing to change your housing before move-in. It seems like such a hassle to move in to your room knowing you're going to have to move again in about 2 weeks.</p>

You can upgrade almost anytime, but downgrades are yucky

I think that you answered your own question. Downgrades are harder because UCLA dining sevices always want your money and take advantage of unused meals. Upgrades are easy because you will be paying more.</p>

when do the restaurants at ackerman close???</p>
<p>i might need panda express at 2am...who knows?</p>
<p>
[/quote]
If you are referring to Treehouse, the restaurants close at 9PM. Panda is one of them. Cooperage is open until 9:30PM and Kerchoff Coffee is open until 11:30PM. Food at 2AM is either Bruincafe, In-N-Out, cup noodles, Lamonicas on Monday, or 'other'.</p>

**do the dorms have any magnetic furniture? i have magnets but idk if it's worth it to bring 'em.
[/quote]
Whta VTECaddict said. You can tack the wall, but not too much or you will get charged (for a plaza). As for residential halls, rooms have a tack wall and board.</p>
<p>Is your next question going to be "Should I bring ferromagnetic magnetic materials?" If so, the answer is yes because it provides strong attraction. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>single shared plazas don't have a tack wall and board? they only have walls?</p>
<p>heh nvm i hear there is this cloth board so i'll bring some push pins in. or hog them from other suitmates...</p>
<p>Dear dawritingmachine, </p>

Covel Dining Hall is technically in Sunset. If walking there from Sunset is difficult (unless you are handicapped), then you have a problem because it is flat terrain as opposed to flights ofstairs elsewhere.</p>
<p>lol, nah im not handicapped, at least not in that sense.
i was actually lamenting the fact that i dont get to climb the stairs anymore after i got kicked out of rieber.</p>
<p>any of you know how big of a flatscreen tv students can generally fit in the res hall triples?</p>
<p>nah uh, i dont believe this, you bringin a flatscreen??? dude, where you live, cuz i might drop by to catch the games!!!</p>
<p>i'm not bringing it but one of my roomates is getting one lol, he wanted one for his room at home and and hes going to bring it along for the dorm</p>
<p>i dont care, dude, ask him if i can drop by...PLEASE???</p>
<p>Ok, buy push pins, buy XL sheets but not necessarily XL comforter, don't buy white board b/c it's provided...all good info. Anything else about the res hall rooms?</p>
<p>Do most roomates share a frig/microwave and will it fit in a triple?</p>
<p>How cold do the rooms get; what do you use on top of those XL sheets - just a blanket? a thin comforter? both? more?</p>

<p>Residential Hall:
Probably 32-37" at largest. Youl'l have to bring your TV stand and place it by the window.</p>
<p>Residential Plaza:
Up to 57" widescreen I would say. You can do this by moving your desk into the closet, move the bed parallel to the window, and the move in a TV stand to where your desk used to be. That provides a huge area. I've seen someone do this, but it's not really recommended since it's kind of dark and awkward to work from the closet.</p>
<p>also then you'll have to come out of the closet every now and then, :)</p>
<p>Bookshelves? A lot schools provide bed, desk and bookshelves. Since UCLA does not (right?), do you just pile them on the desk? bring bookends?</p>
<p>There's a shelf on the desk. You're not gonna bring a library, right? Just pile 'em on the shelf or something. And most textbooks are sturdy enough to stand on their own without a bookend.</p>
