Nikara, thanks for the information.

I'm a bit confused on how to ask for a reassignment. How would you go about doing that?

FutureGirl,
There is a form here, I didn't look at the details:

Here are all the other forms:

lauravaz,
Have you been to In-N-Out or Yogurtland?

I would definitely check out the Farmer's Market and the Grove. The Beverly Center is also nearby if you want to go shopping so you can go to those three in one day.

My tour guide actually advised going to an In-n-Out Burger

I went to the Santa Monica Pier with my family actually, our plans actually got delayed (luggage problems) so I wasn't able to see much of L.A... Oh well.

^ If you are vegetarian like I am, I'd highly suggest the grilled cheese at In-N-Out: it's lettuce, tomato, cheese... super yummy

We usually go to the one in Culver City if we're going on an In-N-Out run, there are some other ones closer but the neighborhoods are kinda sketchy (A man tried to sell me a gold chain in the bathroom of the one in Inglewood). There is one next to the airport where the planes fly really close and there is another one in the heart of UCLA.

Glendale or Hollywood are pretty close. I just had a 4x4 Burger. It was delicious.

My reassignment was proposed and accepted in like 2 days. It was quite nice as all I did was switch roommates in Pardee, but whatever haha. It wasn't a hassle at all.

I seemed to have been reassigned too (as a sophomore though), yet I never received any sort of email. I should check with housing because the online application won't let me click on "rooms" saying that I need to apply....even though it says on the main page that I'm in a new room.

Meal Plan

Hi -- so they say the meal plan is "10 meals per week" but how many total does that translate into? For example is that based on from August 19 to January when the next semester starts? Does it include spring break, winter break etc.? Just trying to figure out what the actual total number of meals it means since they can be rolled over from week to week. From August to December it would be 18 weeks and I should think that would mean 180 meals (which works out to a little more than $11 per meal based on $2,500 less $500 dining dollars -- i.e. $2,000 divided by 180 meals - $11.11. If its less than 180 meals then its even higher than $11 -- that seams kind of high for breakfast and lunch and even dinner. Anyone know the total count of meals per semester? THANKS.

Your meal plan starts on move-in (Aug 19th) and ends on the last day of finals (Dec 16th). Being that move-in day is a Wednesday, you will receive 10 meals every Wednesday until the last Wednesday (I'm assuming Dec 9th, they aren't gonna give you 10 meals on the last day, I'm pretty sure the dining hall closes early on the last day anyway). You can do the rest of the math.

If you go to the dining hall and pay with cash, its $8 for breakfast, $10 for lunch, and $12 for dinner.

To be honest, unless you eat three meals a day on campus, the meal plan is a waste of money. Dining hall food gets boring quick and pretty much everyone has meals left over at the end of the semester. I had about 30 at the end of the first semester and about 65 at the end of the second semester. By the end, I would go to the dining hall just to get a drink or a piece of fruit to use up my meals.

If you get 10 meals a week, considering that you stay on campus over the weekend. Doesn't that mean that you get one meal per day and then 3 extra meals to use throughout that week? If you eat 3 meals per day, won't you need to you your dining dollars? I'm confused -_-
