<p>i got a sunset village double sharing bath with one other double...
sounds great to me!</p>
<p>Plaza (DeNeve) triple.</p>
<p>Exactly what I didn't want. </p>
<p>I'm horridly jealous of you in res halls :(</p>
<p>laurak, don't worry too much. When i was deciding where to live, I e-mailed a girl I know who has lived in DeNeve as a freshmen and she said:</p>
<p>"to answer housing, I cannot stress it enough: LIVE IN DE NEVE. don't even pick sunset (it's far and very secluded). DE NEVE, DE NEVE, DE NEVE. Not only is it referred to as the "hotel" of ucla, but it is the closest to bruinwalk/all of your classes (and believe me, when you wake up and have only 2 minutes to run your butt down bruinwalk to class, you will be more than thankful for this). Also, the dining hall is something like 5 steps away, you don't have to climb ANY of "the hill," and private bathrooms (which was a big factor for me). And don't believe all the b.s. about "res halls are the only way to meet friends." I've developed closer friendships with the people on my floor in de neve than I have in all of high school -- it's been a really incredible experience because you can be extremely close without feeling like you're being suffocated by them. </p>
<p>You get the convenience of close friendships while also having time to shut the door and have private time. Plus, the lounges are neat in de neve -- you can look out into the courtyard and all."</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Plaza (Sunset Village) Triple. Exactly what I wanted!</p>
<p>Thanks Brett, that did make me feel a lot better. I like to socialize, but I also like the option to get away from the madness. The only thing I'm seriously worrying about is living with two other girls, but I think I'm going to stick with it for now. </p>
<p>I think a lot of people are having an initial backlash to their assignments, which I guess is only natural.</p>
<p>I hope you have a blast in Sunset!</p>
<p>Plaza Sunset Village double! Ya gotta love it. I love UCLA :)</p>
<p>I'm glad I could help! Even though it's a triple, at least it's new and you'll have your own bathroom. DeNeve also has really high ceilings, so it will at least add the allusion of space.</p>
<p>Hopefully everything works out for the best, and I hope I enjoy Sunset! :)</p>
<p>Got a Sunset Triple...</p>
<p>I wanted a plaza double though, or a plaza single...</p>
