<p>hahha what if u cant get one of those amazing top floor views</p>
<p>then i will yell and scream and cry until they give it to me :(</p>
<p>idk i have a certain charm about me…that and puppy dog eyes :(</p>
<p>gimme my view!!!</p>
<p>My pleasure. I’ll be lurking around whenever I have the spare time. Stay strong these next two weeks!</p>
<p>@ SF, I’ll certainly be dorming at UCLA!</p>
<p>UCLA halls = super cramped (+ community bathrooms) and no A/C but they’re the cheapest 
UCLA plazas = more space, A/C but more expensive
UCLA apartments = kitchen, furnished, near campus, but I’ll probably eat ramen all day every day since I can’t cook
off-campus = I was looking around and there’s a bunch of one-year leases, grad students, and mixed gender places floating around. The cheaper/nicer ones are farther away too. Need to buy furniture. Kind of a lot of work to find a nice place :(</p>
<p>You know, I’ll be going for the cramped ones. Whatever. As long as I’m on campus, with a meal plan, I’ll be good.</p>

<p>There are a lot of nice apartments near UCLA! Problem is a 1br costs $2200+ and 2br over $3000. Unless you’re Bill Gates’ child, you’re gonna have to settle for the uglier alternatives.</p>
<p>I want to live in the Plazaaaaaaaa… But the monays aspect…</p>
<p>Premier meals? Gold meals?! What is this?!</p>
<p>To be honest…i think that the community bathrooms is better than sharing 1 bathroom between 6 people. They clean the community bathrooms every day and there are like 6showers and 6 toliets, and they clean the plaza bathroom once a week. and it would be much more crammed in a plaza bathroom in the morning trying to share 1 toliet/shower between 6 people</p>
<p>since i have a kid i’ll be living over in the University Village apartments. I drove by the complex and have to say i was impressed. lots of great amenities for student-parents including an on-site daycare. there’s a pool too =D
another plus is that the complex houses grad students as well so great way to network</p>

<p>this is a great UCLA housing link that breaks down the meal plans/and different style of living there</p>
<p>Thanks for posting that! I added it to my bookmarks! Hopefully it’ll come in handy soon :)</p>
<p>wooo Team Evan thanx for the link! the car info is useful info! i am debating whether i should take mine or not.
ive never been w/o a car :(</p>
<p>I’d never driven 'till I moved here two years ago. I’ll have a bike :)</p>
<p>hopefully people dont steal bikes there</p>
<p>Freshman year at a private uni I shared my bathroom with 7 girls. There weren’t TOO many problems with the toilet/shower being occupied. Just a lot of hair in the shower -__- </p>
<p>The plaza bathrooms do get cleaned once a week at UCLA (just asked right now). </p>
<p>Biggest issue with me and community bathrooms (from when I visited my friends at UCR) were walking between the bathroom and room with only a towel on, having to do your ‘business’ in the bathroom with lots of people there, and I had to fully change in the room (I usually changed my basics in the privacy of my shower stall.) Most of these might not be an issue if you’re a dude. </p>
<p>Oh and for sure I’d get 19P so I can swipe all my friends in. :D</p>
<p>Me toooo! I’m such a homebody, I need to visit home every once in a while! I think I’m going to take my car…</p>
<p>Hell yeah to the 19P!</p>
<p>ewww yeah i am not excited about sharing bathrooms. i already share 1 bathroom with 3 other ladies. its a HASSLE!!!</p>
