Thank you so much for this video! I'm an older transfer (well over age 25) and have rented an entire house to myself for several years, so I'm not keen on the idea of bunking with people a decade or more younger than me. The UCLA housing website is really confusing, especially for transfers, and your video nicely broke down the options. My only suggestion would be to add a second video about UCLA's off campus apartments, including the family housing, which is especially relevant to young parents and transfers.
Thank you so much for your video! Super helpful! Are you able to make a video tour of empty dorm rooms so I can get a better idea of what is included and what is not included in a dorm room.
me too ive been trying to look this up, but there is no information. I am not rich and I want to see what would be my options, and if i even have options.
Hi, Emilio. First of all thank you so much for posting the very helpful video. It definitely helped me decide what housing option was best for me. I just have a (silly) question though. The other day I got a mail from UCLA Store. Apparently they are selling residence hall linens. I was going to ignore it till I saw "Regular sheets won't fit our beds" and that I have to respond within the next 15 days. Okay I'm convinced I need to buy it since the beds are apparently longer. However, are all beds the same regardless of what housing option I get? I find it weird that they're already pressuring me choose when I haven't even found out what housing option I got. So really what I'm trying to ask is, will the beds be the same size regardless of where I get accepted? My 1st choice was deluxe if you're wondering. If you didn't go this route (of buying from UCLA store) do you mind sharing how you did all this housing stuff. Right now it's too overwhelming. I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
sweettoothmeryl haha I remember getting that in the mail too! See I'm pretty sure UCLA does that on purpose to try and get worried freshman to buy sheets from them! lol I suggest going to any bedding store like Bed Bath and Beyond and finding your own sheets! All you have to look for are sheets that are TWIN XL and you'll be fine! I also definitely think you should look into getting one of those memory foam mattress toppers! The beds aren't bad or anything I just think having a mattress topper is amazing! As long as you get everything in a Twin XL size then you're good!
I tried to get into a deluxe (and so did a lot of other incoming freshman my year) but most of us got placed into classic residencies. Just think of it as UCLA trying to make you have more friends lol not too bad!
Thank you so much for the video!!! Can't believe I'm seeing this now! Well I've got a question. Has anything about the housing at UCLA changed and which of them has a private or single room and private bathroom?
I have a question. Do you share dorm rooms with one of your class mates or people that are the same year? If that makes sense?. And also love your videos.
Hayley Sara’s Life thanks so much! You have a couple options actually! You can find somebody that you want to dorm with and request to share a room with them or you can give UCLA the choice. They have you fill out a little questionnaire and based on your answers they pair you with someone similar to you. Questions like: do you like having friends over late at night, do you drink, do you smoke etc
Do you know if they prioritize my room type choices over my LLC choices? For context, I put singles at the top of my list, doubles next, and triples last. However, I also applied for the transfer LLC. I know the transfer LLC is only doubles and triples. Will this ruin my chance of getting a single? I would only like to be put in an LLC if singles are not available.
Janice Choi absolutely! Every building has to have stairs that reach reach to all parts of the building...otherwise I think its a fire hazard....so you're good :)
Hi I recently got admitted into UCLA and reviewing the different plans for housing is a bit confusing. Can you please explain the different pricing and plans? (i.e plan A, plan B, plan C, etc)
+thegirlwhoisonfire www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof15.htm This will take you to the actual 2015 statistics on students admitted to UCLA. You'll be able to see that there is actually a higher admission rate for out of state students compared to in state.
so i'm an incoming freshmen and i got stuck with a triple suit @ saxon even though my first choice was a classic triple. Could you please tell me some pros and cons of living in a suit? And should i just try requesting for a change in housing? thank you
If you've visited recently you'll see that Saxon suites looks BEAUTIFUL now! It's relatively newly renovated so I don't think you should be too worried about being there. They have some type of outdoor patio deck/grill place and I remember it being super cool. Maybe you can just try being there for the first few days and see if you want to submit a form to change housing. Remember, there are people that probably got placed into classic triples that want to move also, so there's a chance you can be switched! But first look up when the change of housing forms are due!
It's definitely not too difficult.....as long as you put the time in! If you stay motivated and concentrated you'll do fine! But getting classes is a bit difficult since there are so many student. Look into the regent scholarship because regent scholars get priority enrollment times!
Nightcore Lover hmm...I’ve already graduated so I’m not entirely sure if they’ve changed anything but during my time there I never saw any single plaza style rooms for regular residents. Only RA’s (Resident Assistants) were allowed the singles.
Vianey Uresti If you absolutely don't like the idea of having a small room then DONT go with a triple in a residential hall because they are pretty cramped! However, I live in a double in Sproul Hall and it actually isn't too cramped at all! You can look up some of the dorm tours on youtube that show rooms like Rieber hall so you can get an idea of space! But I would suggest going for a Plaza or a Deluxe!
Lemme see....if you plan on staying in the hill all the time I would say go for 19p. It gives you a lot of flexibility with swiping both yourself and friends/family in case you ever need it. But if you see yourself going home a lot then I would say 14p
Absolutely! Each student gets a code and you just need to get the code of the person you want to live with and out it in your application. But you guys both have to request each other......so don't be creepy haha
Emilio please send me a e-mail if you are Mexican PLEASE I need information about the UCLA university... but I need the information in Spanish.. I hope than you are Mexican for you and me talk but in Spanish please.. :( :) Good luck
THANK YOU SO MUCH OMG. IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SUCH A LONG TIME AND THIS IS THE MOST INFORMATIVE VIDEO EVER

Hey Emilo, I was just wondering want are the prices for a Classic and Deluxe?
in a classic and deluxe, how do the showers look? and in a Plaza, could you live with 1 person? like 2 ppl in one room?
Can you please give me some information about price of these dorms? Tnx
me too ive been trying to look this up, but there is no information. I am not rich and I want to see what would be my options, and if i even have options.

rent of all 4?
How many people in these rooms?
Ahhh Emilio! I love you! Miss you, you beautiful brown Mexican!
Do freshmen generally tend to go in classic more than deluxe? Because Deluxe sounds preferable, but I'd want to go where most of the freshmen will be.

Hm prices can vary year to year but I don't think the room styles change. You can try to call the housing office and ask them directly!
+Emilio Huerta ok thank you.
Could you make a q and a vid? And maybe a day in the life vlog?
Forsure!
Where would transfer students be housed?
I have a question. Do you share dorm rooms with one of your class mates or people that are the same year? If that makes sense?. And also love your videos.

Are the classic classic residences better compared to the cooperative residence?
Nice facial expressions, SUBBED
I'm not sure if you said this... But each room includes a cable cord? Do you have to pay for it irbid it included in tuition?
What's the price of every tipe of dorm?
Hi Emilio, do you know sth about Theme Communities and especially TRANSFER EXPERIENCE? Do you recommend it for exchange students?
Do you know how much more the deluxe hall versus plaza is?
in the classic and deluxe, can I get to my room by stairs rather than using elevators? I'm claustrophobic, and I really just prefer stairs.
Janice Choi absolutely! Every building has to have stairs that reach reach to all parts of the building...otherwise I think its a fire hazard....so you're good :)
Hi I recently got admitted into UCLA and reviewing the different plans for housing is a bit confusing. Can you please explain the different pricing and plans? (i.e plan A, plan B, plan C, etc)
Congratulations
Just curious, what's your GPA as a bio major? I go to another top 5 public university and bio is starting to shit on me lol. I'm a junior as well.
Is it hard to get into UCLA if you're out-of-state
+Jeremiah andrade i wonder that too
+thegirlwhoisonfire www.admissions.ucla.edu/prospect/adm_fr/Frosh_Prof15.htm This will take you to the actual 2015 statistics on students admitted to UCLA. You'll be able to see that there is actually a higher admission rate for out of state students compared to in state.
You grossed me out with the hair description on the sink so that won't be a option for me
so i'm an incoming freshmen and i got stuck with a triple suit @ saxon even though my first choice was a classic triple. Could you please tell me some pros and cons of living in a suit? And should i just try requesting for a change in housing? thank you

You mentioned that laundry costs extra. Are utilities etc. included in the housing plan?
Dave Guo Yup! You don't have to worry about paying extra for trash/lights etc
What's a deluxe?
hello I noticed you said you were majoring in biology? I was wondering if its overly difficult and also is it hard to get the classes that you want?
It's definitely not too difficult.....as long as you put the time in! If you stay motivated and concentrated you'll do fine! But getting classes is a bit difficult since there are so many student. Look into the regent scholarship because regent scholars get priority enrollment times!
How to admission in UCLA bro
Can you have a single plaza room just by yourself with a private bathroom?
Nightcore Lover hmm...I’ve already graduated so I’m not entirely sure if they’ve changed anything but during my time there I never saw any single plaza style rooms for regular residents. Only RA’s (Resident Assistants) were allowed the singles.
@@Meelo Ok thanks I was looking and looking but I couldn't find anything
Nightcore Lover you’re welcome! Yeah I remember the housing website being a major PAIN to actually answer questions
I am claustrophobic and I don't like having a small room ,so which dorm hall would you suggest for a freshman?plzz reply
Vianey Uresti If you absolutely don't like the idea of having a small room then DONT go with a triple in a residential hall because they are pretty cramped! However, I live in a double in Sproul Hall and it actually isn't too cramped at all! You can look up some of the dorm tours on youtube that show rooms like Rieber hall so you can get an idea of space! But I would suggest going for a Plaza or a Deluxe!
or hall
what are the majors?
What about pricing bro? Rent ?
oh and also what do you recommend for a meal plan?
Lemme see....if you plan on staying in the hill all the time I would say go for 19p. It gives you a lot of flexibility with swiping both yourself and friends/family in case you ever need it.
But if you see yourself going home a lot then I would say 14p
As a freshman, could I live by myself in a dorm? Or do I have to share?
I definitely believe you can apply for a single! Whether or not you get it just depends on space!
Would you be paying a very large amount for the suites?
AveoGames yes if you get it and also the single it would be a lot of money
which suit do u live in
how much do they cost like a classic one and delux one...
Anja379 housing.ucla.edu/my-housing/rates-contracts-rules/2015-2016-contract-housing-rates-and-payment-plans
thank you
What was your hs gpa
do you only dorm with people within your major?
+Maggie Sophia (Magdarella07) Nope! Its completely random!
Can you ask or request a roommate?
Absolutely! Each student gets a code and you just need to get the code of the person you want to live with and out it in your application. But you guys both have to request each other......so don't be creepy haha
Emilio please send me a e-mail if you are Mexican PLEASE I need information about the UCLA university... but I need the information in Spanish.. I hope than you are Mexican for you and me talk but in Spanish please.. :( :)
Good luck
Si no hablas Ingles sera imposible pasar las clases en UCLA
