so… make the most of your quarters, try to avoid taking the minimum ;)

also, be prepared, those aforementioned instructional enhancement fees are (i believe) $6 per unit for college of letters and science courses. and they aren’t paid at the same time as tuition.

as far as housing, pick a conservative non-premiere mealplan (although keep in mind 19 non-premiere is cheaper than 14p) and try not to buy food on campus too much. and don’t go overboard buying stuff for your dorm room. buy used textbooks off amazon or half.com and sell them online for the same you paid or heck, even more. avoid ucla bookstore unless absolutely necessary. those are the major ways to save money, the rest just comes from little things like doing two loads of wash and one load of drying for laundry, not eating out a lot, and taking advantage of student discounts.
