<p>Got offered a triple in De Neve Residence Hall. Since they (two buildings) are the newest, there is poor little information about them online. Hope to know more.</p>
<p>If I’m sharing a bathroom with another triple, does that mean we get ONE toilet and ONE shower and ONE sink for 6 people? That sounds a little ridiculous. Also, if showering become difficult with so many people, can I just go to one of the residence halls and use their communal showers? haha
1 toilet
1 shower
2 sinks
No; unless you know somebody living in the residence halls who have key card access to the elevators and bathrooms.</p>
<p>To visualize a suite in hitch…
First you walk in the front door, you will enter the spacious living room with a ceiling fan.
Walk through a door and you have a narrow hallway with a shower at one end and a toilet at the other end. Both have locked stalls. Also at either end is a sink.
Along the hallway will be the entrances (no locks) to the two bedrooms.</p>
<p>Honestly, Hitch and Saxon are horrible places for freshmen to live in my opinion. Submit a CAR. Suites are usually where you can find more athletes, alcoholics, and smokers. The place is pretty old, and the rooms aren’t so clean.</p>
<p>**Hi y’all! I got put in Sproul Hall Triple, and although I heard its supposedly really great because of its living conditions and closeness to campus, I’m worried about the social aspect. I’ll be an incoming freshmen and I heard its mostly all sophmores…But I’m really social and would like to meet tons of people. Should I CAR to somewhere like…Reiber Hall or Hedrick Hall? Please advise!!! Thank you!!! **
No, not really. Sproul is a fine residence hall.</p>
<p>I’m an incoming freshman and got offered a double in sunset village. Is sunset village a good plaza or should I consider submitting a CAR to change to one of the high rise plazas ? Because I’m particularly concerned with the social life and location. Any insight would be appreciated.
Sunset Village is a bit older. The Rieber and Hedrick high-rise plazas are nice and new, but you’d probably be fine at Sunset. All the plazas are pretty much the same for the social aspect; if you crave socializing and speaking to everybody on your floor, then a CAR to a residence hall is better than going from Sunset to Rieber or Hedrick or De Neve.</p>
<p>**de neve plaza vs hedrick summit? **
De Neve is closer to campus; Hedrick Summit is up a hill.
De Neve is a bit older, but not bad; Hedrick Summit is pretty new.
De Neve plaza bathrooms are all private; Hedrick Summit bathrooms will be shared between two rooms usually. Just walk into your neighbors bedroom if ya like.</p>
<p>Great info, thanks</p>
<p>I just accepted my housing offer for a triple in De Neve Plaza. I have a private bath and I was wondering if there’s a cleaning service for the bathroom, or will we have to clean it ourselves?</p>
<p>I accepted my housing offer a few days ago, but I’m not seeing the $500 initial payment show up in the BruinBill. Is anyone else having this issue, or is there something I need to do?</p>
<p>I think they don’t allow you to make the initial payment until May 19th</p>

<p>Houskeeping will come into your room once a week to clean your bathroom, and only your bathroom.
Upon moving into your room, you will receive a cleaning schedule within a week or so. Housekeeping usually likes to knock on your door to let you know that they have arrived to clean your bathroom, but they do have a key card that will let them in when you are sleeping or otherwise not in the room. Note that supposedly the Housekeeper’s key card will not open the door if you deadbolt the door from the inside (this will make more sense after you play with the doorknob).</p>
<p>Housekeeping will hopefully mob the bathroom floor, clean the sink and shower stalls and toilet. They also provide toilet paper and trash bags, but sometimes I think my housekeeper forgets or is stingy with giving away toilet paper. The front desk of your dorm is also supposed to provide you with toilet paper or trash bags if you ask them.</p>
<p>lalalalalala~</p>
<p>Hi! I got a housing offer in Hedrick Summit. On google maps it says it’s about a 15 minute walk to campus, but according to someone else who lived there the walk is 30 minutes. For those of you who have been there, is it tiresome walking back and forth from the plaza to campus?</p>
<p>Also, which plazas that have single rooms are closer to campus? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>but according to someone else who lived there the walk is 30 minutes
Depends on which part of campus you’re looking at. Moore can be reached in perhaps 15 minutes.
Bunche or Reed can probably take 30 minutes.
Also depends on how slow you walk. I walk really fast.</p>
<p>**
For those of you who have been there, is it tiresome walking back and forth from the plaza to campus?**
Depends on how many times you will walk back up to your room. I rarely ever return to my dorm once I leave for classes. If you want to go back to your room and sleep between classes, then you’ll get tired walking up. But if you only make the back-and-forth trip once or twice a day, it will be just fine.</p>
<p>Also, which plazas that have single rooms are closer to campus?
If you’re an RA, then it’s De Neve.
Otherwise, probably one of the Reibers.</p>
<p>Hey! So i heard that hedrick hall is one of the worst dorms to live in (not socially, but sanitation-wise and what not). Is it better now due to the recent renovations it has undergone? Does it get too social and noisy that you can’t sleep or study?</p>
<p>Anybody have any information on the new De Neve residence halls? There’s like no info on them on the housing website. Like, what facilities do they have, how big are the rooms, etc.</p>
<p>I’m going to be a transfer student and I want to meet people. At first I was thinking of apartment housing but I thought that the dorms would be a better place to meet others. I know they have a building for transfer students- delta terrace, however I’ve heard it’s a bit anti-social. I also don’t want to be stuck with freshmen, any suggestions?</p>
<p>Lulu, I’m a transfer student as well. how could a dorm be antisocial? Lol I think it’s what you make it.</p>
<p>So anyone know when transfer students get their housing offers? I heard it was supposed to be at the beginning of this month…</p>
<p>Most transfer students will get Delta Terrace, and honestly it’s what you make of it. It’ll be antisocial if you don’t actively go out to try to meet new people (this is true for every residential community). It also depends on your RAs. Good RAs will try to have a lot of social events to promote community development.</p>
<p>Is there a list of furniture that is included in the dorm room ? I’m in a plaza, sunset village. Like bed, desk, chair, nightstand, etc. </p>
<p>Also what is the UCLA policy on electric appliances such as microwaves, mini-fridges, and stuff like that ? Is there even any room for that stuff ? Is it even needed considering that UCLA has one of the best dining programs in the US ? However, I love cereal and as a cheap food option, I would like to keep cold milk available. </p>
<p>Do college students run on bottled water or is a Britta a good option ?</p>
<p>Do college students need utensils or plates or bowls ?</p>
<p>Sorry I have so many questions, it’s just that I’m not going to have orientation until very late August and I want to know that the things I need to buy/split with my roommate. I want to avoid the last minute buying frenzy but I also want to avoid overbuying. Any help would be really appreciated.</p>
<p>Furniture wise, see this Ask Housing thread: [Furniture</a> provided](<a href=“http://ucla.in/Ovl9ZB]Furniture”>Furniture Provided in On-Campus Housing Rooms)
You can buy or rent out a micro-fridge, but standalone microwaves and other appliances are not allowed.
See this for a list of items to NOT bring to campus: [Items</a> not to bring on campus](<a href=“http://ucla.in/M7qL1Q]Items”>Items Not to Bring when Living in On-Campus Housing)
Water-wise, you can use Britta. There are usually water faucets with filtered water, so people usually just use re-usable bottles for that. But I think bringing a Britta will be helpful.
Utensils/Plates/Bowls … I mean unless you’re going to make food in your dorm (cereal, instant ramen), then no? But you can just buy these stuff at the nearby Target or Ralphs.
But yeah, keep in mind that there is a Target nearby, so if you feel you need more stuff, then you can always go there.</p>
<p>Can anyone comment on margan apartments. I cant find much info on them. Does it have AC? Is security tight? Can i bring friends over to stay for a while? Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Thank you Trekforever for all the information ! Do you know what kind of chairs UCLA provides i.e. wooden ? …and if we’re allowed to bring our own chairs.</p>
<p>yeah, they provide you with a wooden chair, and yes you can bring your own chairs. I brought my own computer/office chair when I lived on campus two years ago, and some of my friends even brought futons and bean bag chairs.</p>
