With the fall semester quickly approaching, prepare yourself for your move to LA and a year of discovery and growth in this iconic and adventurous city.

Location

LA is often considered to be one of the most robust locations in the country, especially in regards to fun. Whether you’re scoping out the Hollywood sign from the top of Runyon Canyon, or taking a stroll down the Hollywood Boulevard Walk of Fame, there is always something to do in this sunny city! UCLA is conveniently located close to the ocean, where a 20 minute drive will take you right to Santa Monica Pier. Boredom will never be a factor at UCLA; just be sure to get your studying done first!

Housing on Campus

Moving to a city with over 4 million people can be a daunting task as you begin your college journey. However, UCLA offers many housing options that creates a sense of community in the huge city. 94% of freshmen live on-campus, which has correlated to student success at the university. With classic and deluxe housing options, students won’t go wrong with any option they choose. UCLA also has award-winning dining options for their students, offering healthy and high-quality meal plans.

Getting your luggage and boxes to your new dorm has never been easier, as services such as CollegeBoxes allow you to send your belongings to your school for when you arrive on campus. If you want to move in yourself, heading to a local U-Haul location can help you get a moving truck for the move. Either option you choose will have you in your new home in no time!
