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.

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...

Nah, just those 3. UCLA's the only one I wanted to attend, USC was a backup, and UC Berkeley was for bragging rights. Why not go to UCLA again? Its a good program and you can't beat the location... FYI, Im sire you got the email, but USC changed their PH supplemental application a week or two ago, so if you obesessively check your admissions status like me, thats may be whats holidng it up. Still no word from them though...

You may not find this as a 100% satisfactory answer, but i'm going to give it a shot anyway. I have never attended UCLA, but will next year as a grad student and am currently in the process of house hunting. I did however, live in the Palms area a few years ago for about a year and a half when I worked in Century City, so I have a pretty good feel for the Westside neighborhoods. when I lived there I split a big 2br 2 ba with my best friend and it was about 1300. Prices have gone up aparently! If you are looking for a good, chill area with coffee shops, decent walking traffic, and a good local life, i think you should look into Culver City. They have a nice little downtown and its an up and coming area. Santa Monica has some nice neighborhoody areas away from 3rd street, but you may find the area a little glitzy. Palms is okay, but a little boring. There isnt much there but a bunch of apartments, and a couple supermarkets. Also a bar with turtle races that i somehow over looked. And a great karaoke bar. Yeah, palms is alright. West LA isn't such a bad choice either. You may want to avoid the east side of culver city,mar vista and venice, they are slightly dodgier then the other neighborhoods, but still not too bad. IT all depends on where you are coming from.

I guess I'm the other 08 applicant, so far, I've been accepted to UCLA Still waiting on USC and UC Berkeley
