<p>Yesterday when I checked my housing, it said De Neve and such. Today, when I checked again, I have Hitch Suites. Is that part of the De Neve complex or something? My friends who did housing with me seem to have the same thing happen to them too…</p>
<p>oooh that sucks. did you request a change? if not they might have overbooked de neve so they switched you to hitch…</p>
<p>Wow. I feel sorry for you. Well, for last year’s class, it seems that UCLA overbooked Rieber Hall, so some of my friends got switched to Saxon Suites. </p>
<p>So, De Neve is a plaza, with private bathroom and a actual floor to mingle with other residents. Hitch Suites, on the other hand, is apartment-style living. You get a living room, and the rooms you live in are the biggest that UCLA has to offer. However, Hitch is socially isolated. Due to the apartment-style living, it’s really hard to meet new people, just because there isn’t a “floor”; you have to go door-to-door knocking, instead of just popping into a room with an open door. </p>
<p>The living room is still nice. Many mini-parties, movie watching, and get-togethers have been done in my living room. (I live in Hitch).</p>
<p>when do we know if they’re finalized? and is it best to just accept as soon as possible? or if i accept now and my potential friends who selected me dont can they get switched while i’m still stuck with it?</p>
<p>yeah i got switched to hitch also…</p>
<p>anyone know why this switch happened etc?</p>
<p>do you really have to submit initial payment before submiting a change request??</p>
<p>that’s what the housing website said says…</p>
<p>I’m going to accept my offer before it gets changed into something I wouldn’t want…sure wish UCLA could explain their system better and give us more options to work with instead of “take it or leave it”…</p>
<p>yeahh it’s a little vague … i’m still debating what to do, myself. where are you going to live chappa ?</p>
<p>Hedrick Summit triple…at least it’s the top of a hill…should be a nice view and I like to walk…</p>
<p>yeah that sounds great … one of my close friends will be living there too … and i actually think walking is a good thing … i mean, it will definetely help avoid the freshman 15 … hahaha… but i’m in dykstra as of right now … which is close which means less walking … but i’m goin to try and change … and if i can’t then i will definetely be visiting hedrick summit to get away from it all … haha. =)</p>
