explorer Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi, I'll be joining UCLA's PhD in Finance program in Fall 2008. Was wondering if anyone here is headed for UCLA (any program) this Fall as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HapaD Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 I'll be attending their school of Public Health next fall. Congrats fellow future Bruin! This was my first choice to I accepted immediately. I have a question though, its been awhile since I've been in college. I did my SIR and the SLR thingy, now what? Am I waiting for a packet inthe mail to tell me when to pay and when to register? Have you heard anything from them after you accepted admission? MAybe its different for you becuase you'll be a phd student... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
explorer Posted March 11, 2008 Author Share Posted March 11, 2008 Hey Congrats to you too! Well I received a letter from them with a form for acceptance. I signed the acceptance while I visited the campus (loved the place ! ) . Now waiting for the rest of the details which are expected in July. The PhD is funded so have no idea about the payment procedure etc. Where do you plan to stay there? Do you have seperate housing for the school of public health?

I don't know if they have separate housing I just figured it was under the graduate umbrella. I sort of planned on living far off campus somewhere, maybe culver city. I'm 28, so I'm not sure anywhere remotely close to campus will be a good living situation. All those undergrads snickering at my antiquated style of dress would be too much for me to handle.

climberjc Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Congrats! I'll probably be coming into UCLA next Fall too for the MS / probably PhD Electrical Engineering program. It seemed like a really nice place when I visited it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
router Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Congrats to you guys. If I don't get into Stanford there's a good chance I'll be doing my MS in CS at UCLA (where I have already been accepted). Beautiful campus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beegee529 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm going to be going to UCLA in the fall to get my PhD in social psychology. Are you guys going to try to do Weyburn Terrace? I really wanted to get my own apartment for the first year and then get an apartment with roommates that I actually know for the subsequent years (instead of living with a total stranger in Weyburn). But since it was going to cost me $1500/month for a studio, I decided I couldn't really pass up the $900 including utilities thing at Weyburn.

Not sure about studios specifically but I believe all new grad students are guaranteed housing in Weyburn. Sorry if you already knew that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I was wondering particularly about the studios, and if it's done by a lottery of some sort. Thanks though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuchessRavenwave Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm going to be entering the Italian department in September. I applied for grad housing, but my preference was Keystone. I really like the gym feature. I want a studio or whatever - small - but I need my own space. Anyone planning on looking for outside housing as well?

thinktank Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 how much aid are you guys getting... i got a mail on 26th March saying that I would be given $15,667.59 MAE Graduate Student Researcher Stipend. $ 5,463.60 salary as a Teaching Assistant for one quarter. Also they said that I would be given $7K during the summer. It was also stated in the email that I would be guaranteed a spot for housing. I have been hearing that LA is a very costly place to live in. Do you think the above funding is sufficient? dibyadeep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckie Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi I will go to UCLA for Electrical engineering, PhD. I got a RA position and guarantee housing. Is it true that all graduate guarantee housing is in Weyburn? I wish I could have a studio or single bed apartment. I would like Rose avenue if I am offered one. (I heard that it is a long wait list for these university apartments.) Read a lot about LA, I know the rental is extremely expensive and it is recommended to get a car there or else you can hardly go anywhere around LA. tuckie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawka Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hi everybody! I'm also have been accepted to CS PhD program for Fall 2008 + RA + guarantied housing slot at Weyburn Terrace. Does anybody know when we receive hosing offers (maybe somebody can share their previous years experience)? Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelowendhz Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Hey everyone, Formally accepted my offer from UCLA yesterday! I'll be in the PhD history program, specifically working in medieval history. I have applied for housing and put Weyburn as my first choice, but I listed the two person setups as my top choices over the studio. Personally, as I learned when I studied abroad, having a roommate in a strange new place is generally preferable to being completely alone. Of course, I'm sure I'll be humming a new tune once I become more accustomed to LA. I know my department has 17 guaranteed spots, and I'm fairly positive I have one of them (I think it's first come first served), but I don't know any particulars beyond that. Good luck to you all!

beegee529 Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Do you guys know when we'll hear about Weyburn? My department (social psych) has a bunch of guaranteed spots and I put my request in in March so I can't imagine I won't get a spot. I'm just curious when we'll find out for sure and when we'll find out if we got a studio or a 2 bedroom. Also, I didn't even bother to put down a back-up building...do you think this was a bad idea? The current grad students said it's a 2 year waitlist for current students to get into the other buildings, so I didn't see any reason to list any of these.

aashishpant Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Hi, I will be joining UCLA in Fall 2008 for the M.S in E.E program. I have been given financial aid in the form of GSR and also guaranteed housing. I am in a dilemma as to which housing option to choose. The only advantage I can see for weyburn terrace is its proximity to the campus. Otherwise, the university apartments in the south look to be equally good and cheap. I would prefer to stay with a roommate in a two bedroom apartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cawka Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 As I've found on housing website, we'll get our Weyburn Terrace housing offers on May 18, 2008. http://uclahousing.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/uclahousing.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=437&p_created=1116532837&p_sid=ltOOzi1j&p_accessibility=0&p_redirect=&p_lva=&p_sp=cF9zcmNoPTEmcF9zb3J0X2J5PSZwX2dyaWRzb3J0PSZwX3Jvd19jbnQ9MTM1LDEzNSZwX3Byb2RzPSZwX2NhdHM9MCZwX3B2PSZwX2N2PSZwX3NlYXJjaF90eXBlPWFuc3dlcnMuc2VhcmNoX25sJnBfcGFnZT0xJnBfc2VhcmNoX3RleHQ9b2ZmZXI*&p_li=&p_topview=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conor610 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 I'll be entering the English PhD program, and probably looking to live in Weyburn, since I don't have a car. Anyone want to be my best friend/chauffeur? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parisa Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 hi everybody, I have also admitted to anderson school of management. Is there any body who have submitted his/her SIR? I have not received any email from graduate division. Is it normal? Will this delay, stop the process of issuing my I20? many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghettonomics Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 MS in Electrical Engineering. Will be starting in the fall. I've been looking at Weyburn or close to the frats, mainly because I plan to party a lot more than study. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beegee529 Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Did you guys get your housing assignments? I got a townhouse in Weyburn (was hoping for a single, but whatever). Any idea when we'll find out about roommates? I've been out of college and living in my own one-bedroom since, so going back to living in university housing with a random roommate is going to be a huge transition.

pslice Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 If you look into the costs of Weyburn, it is definitely not worth it !!! They kick you out during the summer anyways, so you're missing about 2 months. It is about 11-12k to live in Weyburn for like 9-10 months. I am just going to find a place with another person I know who is going into the same program. If you plan on being there for longer than a year, I would be looking elsewhere.

thelowendhz Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 On the housing website it says that specific housing information (roommate, apartment/townhouse address) will be released in mid-August. Also, the website says that Weyburn residents are allowed to sublet their apartment during the summer, which would suggest that you get to keep it for the entire year.
