<p>I just got accepted into UCLA yesterday, and I'm super happy!! I'm most probably going to stay in a residence hall, but I'm not sure which is best.</p>
<p>What do you guys think? Which hall is closest to campus, which hall is the party hall, which is the quietest etc.?</p>
<p>You should check out the housing thread, pretty much all you want to know about housing will be contained in there. </p>
<p>Dykstra/De Neve are the closest to campus. Dykstra is considered the most social building and I’ve heard many people say they had a good experience and a lot of fun living there. </p>
<p>If you want quiet, you would probably choose a suite. On the downside, they are located the farthest away from campus. Plazas with private bathrooms also offer some privacy.</p>
<p>I don’t think they allow you to choose the specific hall, as a freshman. Dykstra is closed down for construction. You can only choose the type of residence that you want and then UCLA randomly assigns you. I would really advise you against a suite. I lived in one my freshman year and had a plethora of problems ranging from vermin to insects to noise. It was terrible.</p>
<p>^Dykstra is opening fall 2013. I got a double on the 10th floor :)</p>
<p>^wait, how do you know your housing assignment already? I thought they came out later on. Thanks for the help!</p>
<p>^ That person is probably a returning student.</p>
