<p>living off campus is A LOT cheaper than on campus. unless you’re a huge eater and plan to take full advantage of the dining hall, i think living on campus is a rip off (but you pay for the social interaction). it’s almost twice as expensive. even though they give you more financial aid, in the end i still think it isn’t worth it. it’s like 14k/yr for the on-campus dorms, more i believe for the apts, but living off campus costs me maybe 8k/yr at most (my apt is $600 and i have my own room).</p>
<p>question… for ucla, are oncampus res halls mixed with first/second years or is it exclusively for transfers… someone told me they had one just for transfer but i doubt it</p>
<p>ellen, I’ve heard that all the residences are mixed, however some have “transfer floors” where I guess just transfers are on that floor? Don’t hold me to this cuz I heard it by word of mouth from some kid in my class, but I’ve also been looking around on the ucla site and haven’t been able to find anything regarding this, so take it for what it’s worth.</p>
<p>did anyone form a CC/UCB facebook group…I know you UCLA transfers did already…=P</p>
<p>for ooohnelle^^</p>
<p>they used to have a transfer floor/dorms, however…
for fall 07, they are renovating an entire high rise, and loosing they said like 700 rooms available. So any transfer floors/dorms probably wont exist for fall 07, like they normally would because of the shortage on bed space. This also means that people are most likely guaranteed a triple, at least for a res hall. This is good and bad, because housing in a triple is the cheapest way to live on campus and really isn’t that bad if you look at the pictures. the room is set up like a normal room, except on one side is a bunk and the other a loft with a desk underneath. definitely not a big deal if you have good roommates. So just know what you are getting yourself into!</p>
<p>luvtoolearn, i am not making a Cal facebook until i visit and i say to myself “oh, this is where i belong” lol…</p>

<p>The area was actually better than I had expected… but I like L.A. more (but then, who doesn’t?)</p>
<p>
westwood sucks ass</p>
<p>Bay area beats LA any day.</p>
<p>Do explain.</p>
<p>
it’s so obvious that it requires no explanation. if you can’t see it, you’ll be better off at ucla</p>
<p>with the likes of sauron</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>ucla is good, but berkeley is better!</p>
<p>It’s only obvious to the eyes of the deceived.</p>
<p>:D</p>
<p>Now… explain.</p>
<p>i think ucla sux, so even though im going to uc berk with low expectations, im sure its better than LA already. </p>
<p>PS. was it ghetto in any way?</p>
<p>wait wait wait.</p>
<p>are we comparing Los Angeles with San Francisco or UCLA with UC Berkeley?</p>
