UCLA Freshman Housing

Hi, I’m a student from Japan attending UCLA from September 2018. I have a question about the housing. My family lives in Japan and they say they want to visit me in February-March for about a month or two. If I decide to live on a dorm, is it possible for me to temporarily live off-campus while my parents visit me??(Assuming I still pay the dorm fee while doing that) Also, is there anywhere near UCLA we can rent a house for a month or two?? (My parents need some place to stay so…)

They don’t do bed check, as long as you pay for the room they don’t care if you are actually sleeping in it. However you are going to have a very happy roommate who gets their own room for a while (assuming you’re not in a triple)

Right, UCLA doesn’t care if you’re sleeping the dorm or not. Just let your roommates know so nobody reports you missing!

For short-term rentals, have your parents use Airbnb or something similar. I was actually just looking in the UCLA area recently and there’s tons of rentals available.
