<p>Any info would be extremely helpful.</p>

<p>For anyone considering this place, I really strongly recommend that you find another housing option. As I look back on it, I realize that with all the fees they charged, I ended up paying several hundred more dollars than I pay for apartment rent. I was charged a $150 membership fee, even though I only stayed for 6 weeks (that’s a fee good for the entire time you’re there). Because of inconvenient move in times (only during office hours, only during the week, only on the first day of summer quarter), I ended up paying their daily rate, and also being charged for that week’s chore shift, even though their online documentation says no chores are required when you’re paying the temp rate. They take a chunk out of your deposit if you fail to do a number of trivial things, like return cleaning supplies exactly by 9pm (the cleaning supply room is only open for 2 hours 3 times a week), notify them of a leave of absence within a certain period, and a whole host of other things.
It’s also super filthy, and tables will be covered in alcohol, crumbs, and bottles every morning. There are some really great people, but the place is so, so not worth it.
I’ve posted on Yelp ([UCHA</a> - University Cooperative Housing Association - Westwood - Los Angeles, CA](<a href=“http://www.yelp.com/biz/ucha---university-cooperative-housing-association-los-angeles]UCHA”>http://www.yelp.com/biz/ucha---university-cooperative-housing-association-los-angeles)) and my blog ([once</a> there was a kitty_kat: Why I would never recommend the UCHA co-op](<a href=“http://oncekitty-kat.blogspot.com/2010/07/ten-things-i-like-and-ten-things-i-hate.html]once”>http://oncekitty-kat.blogspot.com/2010/07/ten-things-i-like-and-ten-things-i-hate.html)) about how much it sucks.
I really, really, really don’t recommend it. You’ll save some money if you live there for awhile, after the initial costs of membership fees have been spread out (TOTALLY not worth it if you’re only living there one quarter- $150 mem fee won’t save you any money), but it’s not worth it.
To recap: The place is filthy. The administration doesn’t know anything. There are fees for everything. The food is sometimes good, but usually mediocre to awful. There are great people, but they don’t make up for living in a hellhole.</p>
