<p>Do you have to keep the wooden chair in your room still or can you take it out ?</p>

<p>You can ask maintenance/UCLA Housing to take it away, they sometimes do it, but most of the times they don’t.
But I think you have to keep it in your room? I’m actually not quite sure about this part. You can try ask UCLA Housing: [Find</a> Answers](<a href=“http://ask.housing.ucla.edu/]Find”>http://ask.housing.ucla.edu/) ?</p>

<p>My son’s schedule says his GE Cluster class is in DeNeve. Can that be right; I thought it was a dorm!</p>

<p>De Neve has an auditorium in the building with the dining hall.</p>

<p>Is Delta Terrace mainly a place for transfer students ? Because I just got my housing assignment, I’m a freshman, and got placed in Delta Terrace. Even if it is full of transfer students, is it still a good place for freshman to dorm at ?</p>

<p>If anyone with a triple shared bath in Rieber Terrace, Rieber Vista, or Hedrick Summit would like to switch to a triple shared bath in sunset village please let me know! [[female]]</p>

<p>Hi, I was just wondering if Hedrick Summit has cork boards already on the walls in the rooms.</p>

<p>where is your favorite place to live?</p>

<p>Sunset Plaza triple shared bath – what is the bathroom storage situation? Is there space for all six people to keep their bathroom stuff, shampoo, soap, towels, toothbrushes etc. in there? Are there enough drawers so everyone gets a drawer? Or do people keep their stuff in their room and drag it back and forth or what? I’m wondering what to get (if anything) like a bin for storage or what. Thanks!</p>

<p>Not sure, i forgot when i visited my friend’s dorm there. But if anything, there is a target in westwood(near ralphs and trader joe’s), so when you get there you can go there and shop for the dorm. Or your child can go to the target event during 0 week, to go buy what he thinks he needs.</p>

<p>Great, thanks, WorriedJrGirl, and thanks for the reply on the other thread too! You are definitely helping me out a lot. I think I’m just going to miss him, so I’m “finding things” to worry about, right? ;)</p>

<p>Haha no problem, no worried my mom did that to me too last year everything worked out fine ;]</p>

<p>Does anyone know if we can request a new mattress if the one we have sucks and is old and deflated ? There is no cushion in mine, it just sinks it. Not firm at all in the center but the sides of my mattress are fine.</p>

<p>@llyyynnnn All of the dorm mattresses have been like that in my experience, but you can try calling your Front Desk to see if they can accommodate you. However, I wouldn’t be surprised if your next mattress performs the same. Are your roommates’ mattresses much better?</p>

<p>Thanks for the post. It was really informative although I think it’s slightly outdated now with the new Deluxe Residence halls. An update or new thread would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Do students who apply earlier than others before May 1 get priority during the process of rooms distribution or they collect all the applications by May 1 and they make decision?</p>

<p>What about Regents scholars? Are they privileged in this case?</p>

<p>

Not really, the only way to get any extra priority in your housing choice is to leave the roommate section blank. I’m not a regents scholar and I turned my app in at the last minute and got the most popular choice last year (holly/gardenia).</p>

<p>Does anyone recommend getting a random roommate?</p>

<p>@ Galactica It can be a hit or a miss. I’ve had so-so experiences; the good roommates kinda cancel out the bad roommates. I’ve heard bad, neutral, and good stories from friends. But I think regardless of whom you live, that person or persons can start to get on your nerves with every little thing he does. It’s the claustrophobic mentality of dorms.</p>

<p>Even if I choose to request a roommate, I still might be paired with a random person?</p>
