On the admit form, you will indicate either that you will have your own mode of housing or you are requesting housing from us. If you have your own housing, you will commute to UCLA to participate in our activities during the day and will return to your accommodations to sleep during the night. If you are requesting housing accommodations from us, we will pair you with a host and sleep in their dorm for the duration of the weekend.
You can indicate any host requests on the admit form and we can work to accommodate your request, but the student must have signed up to be a host for Student Experience Weekend - not just any UCLA student can host!

We want to personalize your experience and show you around UCLA. In this system, you will be grouped with other admits and two current UCLA undergraduates who can advise you on the UCLA campus, their own experiences transitioning into college, what their day-to-day schedules can look like, and other things they are involved in so you can get a better idea of whether or not UCLA is the college for you!
