To all posters, thank you so much for the information! I will look into it more.

@naregian The reason is because I thought I could handle dorm life and living on campus in combination to studying, but a whole year of this looks pretty bleak to me. I just can’t stand being “at school” for 24 hours in a day and a commuter campus seems like a better alternative at this point… despite the hassle of actually commuting… I am in a tough spot and a decision itself to make right now. I can’t see myself living in the dorms and being a second or third year CSE student that’s all. Grades first = less time spent in college = money saved. UCLA academics are merciless as well.

That’s the personal bit. UCLA in itself is a fine school, but overhyped. Not worth the 30k+ dollars a year in my honest opinion. And I was mistaken, the “colllege experience” is not for me.
