<p>I am appying for housing on UCLA campus, is that a good idea? Which location is the best, in your opinion? the choices were: plaza, hall, and dorm, I believe.</p>
<p>Also, please recommend me some good general ed. courses to get started on when I get there! </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>suite= very quiet
plaza= quiet at times, i happen to live on a pretty social floor.
hall= very social, good place to meet people</p>
<p>i wouldnt recommend the freshmen clusters. there are more interesting classes out there at ucla. i took interracial dynamics in the fall and dropped it winter quarter. i didnt like the idea of learning about slavery the entire quarter (literally, they beat the topic to death) the class became more of black/white relationships rather than interracial relationships, but they might have changed the next quarter. if i were to take a different cluster, i would have gone with the US history cluster.</p>
<p>good first quarter classes: music 15, arts&arch 10 (fills up fast), education 92f (there are more in another thread)</p>
<p>Applying for on-campus housing is a VERY good idea. I definitely recommend all first year to live on-campus for at least their first year.</p>
<p>Your department should have a proposed curriculum guide for you to follow. If not, you can ask and follow the path of older people who are in the your major.</p>
<p>Generally, the school recommends the first quarter workload to be only 3 classes, but that is because they want you to adjust, explore, and have fun.</p>
<p>If you’re disciplined enough and want to get a head start, you can take more than that. (most people should be able to).</p>
