I love this!! I wish there were tours like yours for all the grad housing buildings!
2:27 I see that poster on your wall
Your apartment looks so nice!!Thank you so much for doing this! I have a few follow up questions. What has been your experience with the laundry facilities? Do you know what the parking area is like? Is it uncovered? Last one lol Do you have any insights on the junior one bedrooms?
Looks nice!! Do you know how this compares to the junior one bedroom?
did you move here after living in weyburn the first year? i want to live in a 1 bed in venice barry next year but theyre saying i have to wait til october to do a room switch from weyburn and there might not be spots available 😩
Nice video! I'll be a visiting graduate student at UCLA next Feb (I'm an international PhD student from Brazil). Do you know any place that rent a double or triple room near UCLA campus? I believe I can pay from $700 to $800 for a triple room.
Hi! How do you feel about the commute to campus? I'm trying to figure out my preferences now and have heard people say the distance can be annoying (especially as a first year).
I enjoyed the commute to campus. The hourly bruin bus is super convenient as it picks you up right in front of the complex. I drove to campus sometimes to find free street parking and then walking 5-15 minutes to campus. If I couldn't find parking, I would just pay the daily rate ($14 i think?) and park and stay on campus the whole day. about 8-15 minute drive to campus depending on traffic.
Hey
I am an incoming student for Fall 2023 and I have given unfurnished apartments as my preference for uni housing. But I’m confused as to how to furnish the apartment? Did you buy all of this on your own?
I bought a lot of stuff from Amazon, Ikea, and Target. I bought all the stuff on my own, and then sold most of it on my own as well. I gave a lot of stuff away for free to other residents upon moving out. I also got a lot of free stuff from other residents that left stuff in the lobby as they were moving out (and me moving in).
Hi Johnnie! By calling to set up the internet, do you mean calling UCLA or other private providers?
To set up the internet, you must call Spectrum and set it up on your own. UCLA can provide you the phone number to call spectrum but essentially you'll have to set it up as if you were living in your own private apartment. Same goes with gas and electricity--you must set up your own account with LA city gas and electric, which DOES NOT go through UCLA.
is the balcony shared?
The balcony is not always shared depending on your unit. Some units like the ones across from me in the courtyard had plants outside of their door which is their “balcony” space. This means that I generally am able to leave my slide door open without risking anyone entering whereas those other neighbors would typically close and lock their slide doors at night because it’s accessible by anyone in the apartment complex.
Thanks Johnnie! I am hoping to get student housing after applying in May. I'll been told by my masters department that it's generally difficult. Do you have any tips?? Thanks for the video!
look's great. What's the monthly rent like?
it was about $1400 plus electric and gas, so closer to $1500. I think they raised the rent so it's closer to $1600 now.
