** Read Before Starting New Housing Thread**

<p>You will find that you're busy enough with school or other things or just -___-" about additional readings. I was considering bringing a lot of my stuff but... I stopped and resigned to borrowing from Powell...</p>

<p>Ok, that's fine. I didn't remember there was a shelf on the desk. Thanks.</p>

<p>How much bedding do you need to keep warm (if you're used to a cold house) - blanket, thin or think comforter...And do you reco a foam pad or are the res hall bunk mattresses reasonably good?</p>

<p>well, you can turn on the A/C too</p>

<p>thin comforter (it's LA!) </p>

<p>the beds suck
get some foam</p>

<p>If I wanted to boil water, do I have to use a microwave in my room, or is there a common kitchen in the dorms, like at UCSB?</p>

<p>Can anyone comment about the University-Apartments (Glenrock, etc).</p>

<p>apartments on landfair are sized okay, but very old. no air conditioning. furnishings okay. living across from delta sig and pikapp = horrible</p>

<p>


Microwave will suck @ "boiling water." There is no common kitchen. Get an electronic water boiler/kettle/thing. It's not allowed but it should be OK! I had one last year and it was useful for my instant noodle urges. </p>

<p>That, and... if you're on campus, you can ask for hot water from the coffee shops like Kerckhoff and Jimmy's. They charge $0.10 or $0.15 though. :( You can also get hot water in the dining halls when you swipe in.</p>

<p>University Apartments? Depends on which building. In contrast to moldau's post, Margan Apts are very nice and A/C'd I think.</p>

<p>Specifically Glenrock west. A new transfer student here, wanted to know the social scene over there; if maybe it was better to stay on campus for meeting new ppl.</p>

<p>Social scene around Glenrock? Well, landfair/gayley = frat parties. Otherwise, you're on your own. It's a bit funny saying "on-campus" when "off-campus" generally refers to north village + all of their apt. complexes and it's just next door to ucla... similar to how "on-campus" housing refers to the dorming >>village<<<-like area.</p>

<p>What University-Apartments are considered the best (location, amenities, ect)?</p>

<p>do we need boxes for storage? or do the rooms have cabinets or something</p>

<p>Are you talking about the dorms? We do have a closet and a drawer</p>

<p>Are each person's res hall closet and drawer (one?) bigger than a bread box?</p>

<p>no really, are they? how much fits?</p>

<p>3 standard drawers per person.</p>

The 3 drawers are supplied for the residential plaza. Since hiker is living in a residential hall, he/she will have one narrow closet accompanied with a mini-closet with 5-6 tiny drawers. (assuming hiker is in a triple and does not choose the bed with the desk underneath)</p>

<p>What's in the closets under the loft bed? Same as the ones in the plazas?</p>

<p>similar, but theyre shorter so they can fit under the bed. i think they dont have that top half-shelf thing on the inside</p>

<p>You get ONE closet/dresser under the loft bed. It is intended to fit all your clothing items. I can't approximate the exact size; the size is only a problem for girls. There are no drawers, just a rack on top for clothes. If you choose this, you might want to buy the equipment that separates your clothes (can be foudn at Bed Bath, Ikea, other related places for probably $20-25 or less). The height is the displacement between the floor and the bottom of the raised bed.</p>

<p>They are the same as the ones in the plaza, if you are juxtaposing the closets obtained from the same situation (electing to sleep on loft bed).</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>

<p>Can people who live in doubles loft each bed to the level of those single-loft beds in the triple rooms? If so, is it possible to easily do the lofting without the assistance of the UCLA movers, thus saving money?</p>
