My D received a housing offer last night in Hendrick Summit (I believe). We were both shocked since we are instate and less than 30mins from campus. We thought she would be at the bottom of the list, but she remained on the housing waitlist in the event campus will be open winter or spring.

Housing announced that if you are offered a spot and turn it down, you are off the list for the entire year. I can’t help but to question if that will be the case. If by chance the campus can open to full capacity during the year, wouldn’t housing be eager to expand offers and try to regain some of the lost revenue?

Either way, my D has decided to give up her spot. As much as she wants to live on campus and experience college life, it just doesn’t make sense when you factor in all the restrictions and additional cost - especially when we live so close.

I really hope when UCLA can open safely, they remember to hold events and offer more housing so that the class of 2024 can be properly introduced and feel part of the community.
