<p>is it t-shirt and shorts weather all year round? or is there a cold spell?</p>

2

<p>for me, winter, I wore jeans and a jacket. UCLA is near the beach and sometimes could get a little chilly. But definitely beginning from spring to fall, I wear t-shirts and shorts... I duno about others</p>

<p>When it rains, you don't really want to be in a t-shirt and shorts, but otherwise, it could theoretically be done and you'd be alright. It gets chilly at night during most of the year, though.</p>

<p>I noticed that most of UCLA housing doesn't have A/C. I've never had A/C at my house before, but considering that LA's much warmer than where I live... I was wondering, does it ever get too hot in the dorms without A/C or is it manageable?</p>

5

<p>It's manageable. I've never had AC at my house either, and my freshman year in De Neve it was a bit of a curse... my roommate always had the thermostat at 60 degrees and I froze to death. This year in Rieber was alright... at the end of the year it was sort of miserable, but it's only a few weeks out of the year where it's hot... just bring a fan. You'd be surprised how moderate the climate is during the year since it's so close to the coast (same distance as my house is).</p>

<p>I have a triple, so most likely I'll end up on the top of a bunk bed. What could you use other than a fan in the residence halls?</p>

7

<p>Less clothes?</p>

8

<p>Wet cloth? I don't know, I've never been in a triple.</p>

9

<p>Just sleep without any blankets. If you're still really that hot/desperate, sleep without clothes on too. haha jk...</p>

10

<p>Always bring an umbrella, because when it rains in Southern California, it pours... Otherwise it's usually T-shirt/night weather during the day and sweatshirt/jeans weather at night. :rolleyes:</p>

11

<p>T-shirt/night weather?</p>

<p>aha! flopsy fails. =p</p>

12

<p>I meant to say "T-shirt/shorts" in that post...
This is what happens when you post in multiple threads at the same time. :rolleyes:</p>

13

<p>What's winter like in LA? How does it compare to the weather in San Jose?</p>

14

<p>Winter in Los Angeles is ocasionally foggy in the mornings (ocean mist) and crisp in the evenings, but the daytime weather isn't that much different than Spring/Autumn in Los Angeles. :rolleyes:</p>
