UCLA Dorms or Apartment?

[decisive]

Anyone Else Doing it? Summer Study at the University of California Los Angles?

Q.1. I'm from Australia so I'd appreciate if you guys can confirm - are American campuses basically 'dead' during summer??? cos u guys go to Cancun or home etc?

Q.2. For an out-of-towner [in fact - out-of-country-er hah] what are the pros and cons of staying at a dorm versus staying in an apartment close to the college?

I'm selecting accomodation right now [online] and I'm deciding which one will be more conducive to a great time!

Thanks for any advice!

i would stay in a dorm....you'll meet a lot of people and if you're in an apartment it'll be lonley if you dont know anyone.

hhaahah thats funny, not everyone goes to cancun, and with a school like UCLA it wont be dead over summer.

it's summer school so there's basically no admission criteria. But i've still gotta pay



heh, thanks dude -

I'm going during the US summer which is [you're aussie right?] our winter and hence our uni mid-session holidays.

Absolutely no one except my parents know I'm gonna go - i'm just gonna disappear.

I'm doing it cos I feel like an adventure!

yeah i'm aussie, melbourne.
so you're only going over for a month or so i assume (mid-session holidays) after going there, would it be possible to stay on do you think?
i'm so jealous!

guess ur pretty cashed up to be able to do that though.

I always wanted to do that, but it would be DAMN expensive. I recon it would be crazy, yer what are you doing after it ?? Coming back ??:cheer:

 

[Interpol]

If it's a summer program there should be a decent amount of other students in the dorm. It will be cheaper than living off campus as well.

dorms then

Jjiza - yup, I'm coming back ...

Ok,

seems like Dorms are the way to go - thanks ppl

I got my masters degree from UCLA last year. While I was there all of my classmates had apartments. Their apartments were very nice. I'd suggest getting an apartment.
