A world-famous campus, for the summer
UCLA sits on the exclusive Westside of Los Angeles, over 419 acres of gardens and Renaissance buildings, and is consistently ranked among the world's leading universities. It is the most applied-to university in the United States, first in the nation for applications for admission. For the summer, this is your home.
- Access to the John Wooden Center and Sunset Canyon Recreation Center: pools, gymnasiums, tennis, and sports fields.
- The Ackerman Student Union, with student lounge and a large food court.
- UCLA bookstore and libraries a short walk from the residence halls.
- Westwood Village: theaters, restaurants, and shops.
Home for the summer, in the residence halls on campus
Most students stay in a residence hall on campus: Hedrick, Dykstra, or Sproul Hall. Rooms are furnished with beds, desks, chairs, and closets, with communal bathrooms on each floor cleaned daily. Linens and bath towels are included and refreshed on request, there is free wireless internet in every room, and laundry facilities are on site. Single and shared occupancy are available. Meals are 18 a week: full board Monday to Friday, half board Saturday, breakfast Sunday.
Students staying with family or friends can join as day students. The day program includes the morning courses, the afternoon activities and the Sunday full-day excursion; optional Saturday activities are an extra cost, as they are for every student. Day students arrive by 8:30 AM and depart by 6:00 PM. The only transport day students arrange is getting to and from campus each day: transport to weekday activities and the Sunday excursion is covered by the transportation fee. Courses-only attendance is available on request; contact us for a price.
