<p>Now I know there are some threads about UCLA housing that have this already, but what I hate is that it isn't clear. For example</p>
<p>"I like De Neve, Sproul, and Hendrick. But that's just my personal preference..."</p>
<p>But the problem is, they don't stay why or why not, they don't state what kind of living style it is, like if it's Residential dorm or if it's Suite apartment style. </p>
<p>So in this thread, I'd like anyone to have an opinion on ANY OF THE DORMS but you have to...
EXAMPLE</p>
<p>State it--- Hendrick Hall
Living Style- Residential Hall
Location-- Far Away from Campus</p>
<p>Reason Why you Love or Hate--
I hate this campus because it's the farthest away from the campus and it's really discouraging after class if you have to walk all the way up those stairs just to get into your room to sleep...</p>
<p>so if anyone can do ANY, just one or more, that'll be fine and great. Much appreciated for you to take the time to respond. </p>

<p>psst, it’s Hedrick, not Hendrick. And I don’t think it’s open next year.</p>
<p>Frankly, as a freshman you don’t choose which building you’re in, so it doesn’t really matter. There’s plenty of information on here about the general difference between Res Halls and Plazas.</p>
<p>Hedrick, not Hendrick, Hall is not open next year, so you won’t have to worry about getting put there.</p>
<p>I second the last comment too: you’re going to get stuck somewhere you may or may not like, and you’ll deal with it from there.</p>
<p>If you’re wondering how to rank your preferences for the application, most people choose doubles first (you won’t get one, but you can list it anyway for fun), then triples (you want to live with someone… you won’t get a single), then singles.</p>
<p>The rest of the info in the housing thread is sufficient, trust me. You think there’s more to it because you’re excited and nervous, but that’s it. It matters less where you live than it does who you live with, anyhow.</p>
<p>Best,
CP</p>
<p>I guess you guys are right. Thanks. I probably am just nervous/anxious/excited to get going to college. Im really in the limbo stage of going to college and actually finishing HS. I guess i’ll keep this in mind and actually pass HS so i can actually get to ucla.</p>
<p>Many thanks,
Nox</p>
<p>oh, so incoming freshmen don’t get to choose housing at UCLA?</p>
<p>no not really. I just did the housing form and it just asks for preferences. The staff tries to meet your preferences, but you’ll likely have to compromise on some grounds.</p>
<p>i’m an incoming freshman and got a triple in rieber hall. does anyone know if it’s still gonna be undergoing construction in the upcoming academic year or are they done?</p>
<p>hopefully its done cuz im a freshman in rieber next year too :D</p>
<p>you usually get something. either it’s the facility or the room type. i wanted a double plaza and i got a triple plaza. good enough for a freshman i suppose</p>
<p>Rieber was just finished last year, it’s REALLY nice! You’re lucky if you got to live there, I couldn’t even get in. The downside is it is kinda far from campus. I’m a freshman btw, I live in Dykstra.</p>
<p>P.S. learning to longboard might be the most useful thing you could learn before going to UCLA. You’ll get to class in about 1/3 of the time (which is shaving like 20-30 minutes off your roundtrip). Plus - hills and parking garages galore to satisfy your 3AM urge to do something stupid, such as go down Charles Young Dr. at 30 miles an hour.</p>
<p>^ Just wondering, how did you like Dykstra? I’m living there next year for my freshman year and I was wondering what the general experience there is like.</p>
