<p>Today I met a freshman who asked how soon you can move into the apartments off-campus. She was surprised to learn that you don’t even have to live in the dorms in your first year.</p>
<p>With 94% of first-years living in the dorms (or so I heard three years ago), ucla housing/ORL really has it made with their monopoly.</p>
<p>But then again, people say you pay for the “experience” of dorming. I guess I can’t argue with that. Personally I didn’t like being in the dorms, but even if you do, the “experience” is very much overpriced.</p>
<p>Or maybe I should just stop being a cantankerous old man.</p>
