<p>Debating on the move in time a bit, but overall happy with the assignment. You guys think that the 2-person studio apartment will have bunk beds or separate singles? I haven’t really prepared anything for the move, but it seems we have plenty of time.</p>
<p>i want to email my roommates but it’s so awkward lol</p>
<p>What’s awkward about it? just say “hi, I’m randombookie, I’ll be your roommate for the school year!” </p>
<p>@k4201505, haha I guess you’re right! </p>
<p>what is there to do after moving in?</p>
<p>@randombookie Wouldn’t it be funny if @k4201505 was your roommate?</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1, that would be hilarious 
I want to sleep in like @cayton, but I want the bottom bunk…first world problems</p>
<p>@randombookie </p>
<p>This dorming stuff is way easier when you don’t give a ■■■■ about which bunk you’re sleeping in.</p>
<p>Of course, as the son of parents from a third-world country, I don’t seem to have as many first-world problems, lol :P</p>
<p>I got a double in Holly so I don’t think I’ll have a bunk bed in my room. </p>
<p>@k4201505, yeah you won’t. I’m jealous lol. Doubles in deluxe rooms are really spacious imo</p>
<p>Here’s a map that shows exactly where your room is in relation to everything else:

<p>Dang I was hoping I was on the same floor as Cayton! 6th floor rieber terrace. </p>
<p>@Zalrons </p>
<p>Here’s a quick way to know if you’ve seen me:</p>
<p>Statistically speaking,there’s probably very few African-American/black students living in Rieber Terrace.This is because there’s few black students at UCLA at all, lol</p>
<p>So, if you see a black guy in the halls of Rieber Terrace, chances are very good that that person is me. </p>
<p>Ha, ha - I told my daughter that you were in Reiber terrace. Since there are only four black students at UCLA I told her she should be able to find you! </p>
<p>Well if there’s only 4 black students, @cayton is 1, I’m 2, I wonder who the other 2 are :-)</p>
<p>@lindyk8 @2016Candles </p>
<p>Yeah, I love to joke about the complete lack of black students at UCLA.</p>
<p>What’s even funnier is that UCLA brochures never seem to feature students of color. Not that UCLA is racist and doesn’t like admitting blacks or anything, but the shortage is that much of a problem. :P</p>
<p>But it does make me kind of sad whenever I visit the campus…If I’m visiting the financial aid office there, I’m the only black guy.</p>
<p>Visiting the bruincard center to get my ID? Only black guy there.</p>
<p>Orientation? I’m the only black guy for miles around.</p>
<p>RT 6th floor. </p>
<p>My parents used to send me to UCLA for summer school when I was in middle/ high school. I was almost always the only black kid, and it honestly made me very uncomfortable. I hated it. I was used to schools that were mostly Caucasian, but sprinkles of diversity, so it was really difficult. As I got older, I found that those summers helped strengthen me because it took me so far out of my comfort zone. I’m thankful for them really :-)</p>
<p>@Cayton Really, I saw some Black Students on the admission packet. However, black students are severely under represented at UCLA. </p>
<p>@collegedropout1 they always put black ppl on the brochures. </p>
<p>@cayton I just saw your comment. I think it’s the opposite, at least what I see. They really play up the ethnic groups that aren’t there. I remember a few months ago we were looking at some UCLA housing videos and by the looks of it, there was a preponderance of dark skinned ppl and very few (if any) Caucasians. I told my daughter this is such a marketing scam. Instead of trying to pretend there is diversity, why not try and actually do it, instead of faking it?</p>
<p>You might find this hard to believe, because it certainly is not on your level or your perspective, but I always notice if it’s nothing but white ppl - and it’s irritating as hell. Although on the streets this is really not so true anymore. </p>
<p>@2016Candles </p>
<p>Interesting. You know, I don’t feel uncomfortable being the only African-American in a given area at UCLA—although I can see why others in a similar position would be—but it reminds me how much more difficult it is for black people to get into good schools, on average. And that is heartbreaking.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>lol, I think I saw like one in an admissions packet. But yeah, I believe about 3.5% of the student body is black. In a state that’s about 6% black, that’s kind of bad.</p>
