Ucla reiber vista plaza (double) or random hall (triple)?

<p>Hi, my name is Eric. I'm an incoming freshman at UCLA... and I'm having trouble deciding where to live next year. As of right now, I'm assigned to a double in rieber vista (yes, i know thats pretty lucky for a freshman to get... idk how i got it). It would be nice to have that private bathroom and only one roommate... and an individual bed... I GUESS...</p>

<p>But here's the thing. I want the full college experience. I hear res halls are A LOT more social than res plazas, and that's what you should want as a freshman, right? Assuming I could switch into a random hall and get a triple... what should i do? </p>

<p>Stick with my double in rieber vista, where there may be an abundance of upperclassmen(because its a plaza) and construction right next door at rieber terrace, but it does have nicer facilities..... or switch to any random residential hall where i could be much more social and get that college experience i need as a freshman?</p>

<p>Yep - I would try to make the switch, and it sounds like thats what you want to do anyway. I was assigned to a De Neve double as a freshman, but requested a change and got into Sproul - it was a good decision.</p>
