<p>What is the difference between single room and single room (shared bath)?</p>
<p>Can I get a single room with private bathroom? Which option of on-campus housing should i pick then?</p>
<p>Is off-campus single studio far from UCLA (coz I can’t drive)</p>
<p>@CuriousJDG9513 You might. I don’t think that is likely going to happen, but I have a friend whose housing assignment, initially with her requested roommate, got changed to be with random people.</p>
<p>@LynetteScavo A single room is a room by itself, with its own private bath. A single room (shared bath) is a room that might share a common bathroom in a suite with about 5-7 other rooms. Select single room if you want a private bath, but I actually can’t think of any rooms with that configuration other than RA rooms. There are bus systems that extend pretty far. If you look for off-campus housing those are available to get you to school, but I don’t know the answer to your question. The answer is probably, “It depends.” There are sure to be some close, some far, but I can’t list any specific locations.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if this was asked already but do you have to put all different choices for room preference? Like you rate them one through six?</p>
<p>A similar question might have been asked earlier, if that’s the case sorry! I requested a plaza for the size/AC/private restroom, but I’m really worried about its antisocial aspect. Do people not really become friends with each other in plazas? I’m a pretty social person, but I still can’t become friends with people if I never see them outside their rooms, right? Because I read somewhere that most people made the majority of their friends in their dorms.
Please help! Thank you! :)</p>
<p>I got accepted into Rieber Terrace as a freshman student. Has anyone heard good or bad things about it? I know that it’s a plaza and is one of the newest buildings on the Hill.</p>
<p>I’m sorry if this was asked already but do you have to put all different choices for room preference? Like you rate them one through six?
You should, and do not repeat them. Theoretically, it hurts you if your first choice is not there because Housing has no other way to know your preferences. In practice, Housing will email you to remove repeated entries and actually rank all of them.</p>
<p>Do people not really become friends with each other in plazas?
False. It depends on the people. Some plazas are really social. It varies by floor. You might have to put more effort into coaxing people to leave their room and hang out with you (it helps if you’re cool), but it shouldn’t be hard if you’re nice and friendly.</p>
<p>I know that it’s a plaza and is one of the newest buildings on the Hill.
Rieber Terrace is my personal favorite. Beautiful building, large rooms, clean, close to food. Mid-distance from campus. Nothing to complain about unless you’re afraid of a mild hill/set of stairs to climb to go home. Bathrooms are mostly shared, although a couple rooms per floor have private baths.</p>
<p>Hi, I just got accepted into UCLA, and I’m already looking into housing (I know it’s really bad; I need to calm down a little bit because I’m way too excited right now!). Do a lot of freshmen go to Rieber Vista or Rieber Terrace? </p>
<p>I’ll probably find out more about housing and everything on Bruin Day, but I’m just curious. </p>
<p>Do a lot of freshmen go to Rieber Vista or Rieber Terrace?
Freshmen do not get a choice which building they get placed in (you apply for housing and select building type preferences, but not the building itself). That said, it will depend on how many upper-classmen pick these Rieber buildings (upper-classmen CAN pick specific rooms in specific buildings), and how many beds are left available for freshmen. I’m a few years removed from dorming, but freshmen do live in these two buildings, although you’ll certainly meet sophomores, juniors, and seniors next door (or in your room!). Speaking of proportions, I’m not sure whether freshmen make the majority or minority of these plazas. It’ll vary by floor and year. I don’t know what the buildings are like these days.</p>
<p>@Galactica I chose a random roommate and now he’s my best friend, same goes with my girlfriend and her roommate. Sure their is certainly a risk (just ask my dad lol) but half the fun of college is meeting new people. </p>
<p>Maybe this question has already been answered in this thread, but I’ve had difficulties locating it.
Which housing option has the best, most comfortable (spacious, most appliances, etc) rooms?</p>
<p>Hi, are the Classic Residential Halls too hot? I’m from Southern California, but even sometimes I can’t stand the heat, and I’m scared that my dorm room will feel more like a place where I am allowed to sleep and not a place where I can chill out comfortably.</p>
<p>Also, I’m not a very social person naturally, so I do want to try to make new friends. Are the cramped rooms in the Classic Residential Halls and the social atmosphere worth forgoing air conditioning?</p>
<p>It seems like for on campus Hedrick Summit, Reiber Terrace, and Rieber Vista are the only places that offer singles. How likely is it for an incoming transfer to land one of these rooms? I’m all for socializing, but I would like to a little bit of space all to myself, plus I occasionally snore too^^.</p>
<p>Can anyone tell me when are housing offers typically available for incoming freshmen?</p>
<p>what year are the students in rieber hall usually?</p>
<p>Hmm this thread appears to have died but I can try to tie up a few loose ends.</p>
<p>
Plaza (shared bath probably has slightly bigger rooms). Suites have more space but no air conditioning yet. None of the on campus rooms have appliances unless you get a microfridge. And a lot of the buildings have microwaves/vending machines in the lobby. Another thing to note is that all res halls have drinking fountains on each floor, but most plazas and the suites don’t. So if you’re in a plaza and don’t want to drink sink water, you’ll either need to buy a filter or go down to the lobby every time you’re thirsty. If you’re on the 9th floor of rt this can get tedious.</p>
<p>
Not usually, and pretty much never if you’re in a room that never faces the sun. Might be a little warm in september and maybe a few days before the year ends. All the rooms in rieber hall have fans.</p>
<p>
Yes. You probably won’t be in your room very much anyway</p>
<p>
Pretty much impossible</p>
<p>
I think it’s late july but don’t quote me on that</p>
<p>
Probably about half first-years, half second-years with a few third years. Rieber has most of the themed floors.</p>
thanksssss <3
Hey guys, I do not know if this is a weird question. But like for MEN, in the Residence hall communal bathrooms, are there private changing areas. Some videos I watched on youtube are for the girl bathrooms and the only guy one was a Dykstra 2011 dorm tour (not very helpful since recent renovations, but idk how it looks).
All in all, is there private changing for guys after they finish taking a shower or do they have to do it in a cramped shower facility while they are like all wet -_-.
Thanks to anyone who replies.
@WeLiveLife145 I don’t think I’ve been to Dykstra since the reno, but yes, in general there are changing areas within your shower shall (at least what I remember in Rieber Hall and Sproul Hall).
My S has not yet decided on UCLA yet. Is it important to register for housing now (before May 1st deadline) and pay the $30 non-refundable d/p? Or can he wait till he makes a final decision in the next few weeks? Is housing first come-first serve?
Went on an admitted student tour yesterday. Housing deadline is May 1st, no priority for doing it earlier.
