<p>Currently living in a residential plaza triple…I actually prefer it to a double. It’s easier to deal with roommates when there are two of them. There’s less drama.</p>
<p>A lot of returning students pick halls because they have now all been renovated and are cheaper. Which is why a lot of freshmen get put in plazas. Returning students get to pick the exact room they want, although they put rooms aside for freshmen. As I said before, my son requested a triple in a residence hall and got a triple in a plaza and is perfectly happy.</p>
<p>That’s weird-</p>
<p>The presenters at the housing tour basically said 99% of incoming freshmen would be put in triples. </p>
<p>Did I hear that wrong, or did anyone else hear that as well?</p>
<p>Likely they will be put in a triple, just not necessarily a triple in a hall, last year it was very common for them to be put in a triple in a plaza.</p>
<p>^yep seems like that will be the case this year too (source: asked UCLA housing). I’m dissappointed, i wanted a residence hall, but its UCLA!!! :)</p>
<p>I want a double damn it…</p>
<p>Pro tip: If you want to get into a residence hall, on your housing application say you want to live in one of the themed floors. They are all in Rieber Hall, there isn’t high demand for them, and I think the floors will be mostly freshmen.</p>
<p>^smart idea. although If I didn’t like theme I don’t know if I’d like the floor…anyway I’m shocked that freshman get plazas now…two years ago it was always hedrick and dykstra for the freshman</p>
<p>Hi guys,</p>
<p>On March 10, the Division of Undergraduate Education announced that all free student learning services in math, science, and writing under Academics in the Commons are being eliminated starting June 2011.
Starting this coming year, there is no peer tutoring service open to all students at UCLA.
UCLA will be the only UC without this type of program. </p>
<p>The administration’s response has been lukewarm and apathetic- they have made promises to make “new centers” using “existing departmental funding”- but at a big state school, that kind of funding doesn’t exist, and the timeline for such a project is fuzzy. </p>
<p>I’m a current UCLA senior, class of 2011. I work as a peer tutor and love my job, but am graduating and leaving (have no financial stake in Covel’s closure). I have had an amazing experience at UCLA and have been given great educational opportunities here, and I think you as prospective students deserve to have the same. I’ve been involved with student recruitment in the past, so I definitely would encourage you to attend UCLA- but I do think you should do so fully informed. If you have any questions for me feel free to post them here and I will answer them to the best of my ability.</p>
<p>^ Could someone put this up as IMPORTANT on the thread list?</p>
