Hi all,
New to this, but just thought I'd start a thread for anyone starting at UCLA in 2021. I'll be joining the PhD programme in Islamic Studies. Very excited and nervous about coming from the UK too!
Anyone else starting at UCLA this fall?

I have sort of looked at apartments but not too seriously since school starts until October. So planning to visit LA in the coming months, and do a serious search over the summer.  I live in California already, so it’s a little easier to plan a trip. I am coming with my partner so we are open to renting a small apartment or sharing a bigger apartment or house with other people, so let’s stay in touch! 
bank accounts and phones are really easy here, very straight forward, you can do both in less than a day  

Congrats!
Have you started thinking about accommodation etc? 
There's so much to think about lol  bank accounts, sim cards, visa... the list goes on ? 

Fingers crossed! Lemme know if you hear anything

Can she give them a nudge to hurry up? haha

I've also applied to UCLA... the wait is unbearable...
I emailed a couple of weeks ago and they said decisions should be coming out soon... but not sure what "soon" means :/
