My son is a junior. From what I understand the majority of freshmen are put in triples either in a hall or plaza. I think as sophomores there is an increased chance of being able to get a double. My son was in a triple freshman year and chose to be in a triple sophomore year because it is cheaper. Singles are very expensive, so not an option for us, and I have no idea how hard they are to get. Here is a link to this years prices: [2012-2013 Contract Housing Rates and Payment Plans (1005183)](http://map.ais.ucla.edu/go/1005183) And for other questions you might try the ASK Housing function: [Find Answers](http://ask.housing.ucla.edu/) In general it is suggested for freshmen to be in a triple on a Hall (bathroom down the hall), because they are the most social. My son ended up in a Plaza (bathroom in the room), which ended up being social enough.
