[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What are UCLA dorms like? They didn’t show any dorms on the tour. We liked the UCLA vibe…until they mentioned housing. Triples “guaranteed” all four years. [/quote]

Part of the experience at several UC campuses, along with fighting for classes and resources.  I guess people accept it as a rite of passage, but I would have trouble paying OOS tuition for it.[/quote]

These schools are mot meant for OOS students.  Triples help keep the costs manageable, which almost all California parents are fine with. It’s a trade off. [/quote]

No triple do NOT keep the cost manageable. Plenty of CA parents are more than willing to pay $1-3k more a year for their kid not to be in a forced triple.

The cost of a double room with middle tier meal plan at UCSD is $18490 while a triple is $17334.  So around $1100 more for double. The school makes so much more money cramming kids into a triple. But I suppose there is a benefit that there is space for more students.

Berkeley the difference between a triple and double is around 3k.

UCLA The cost of the triple only room price is $9,254, while the double is $12,498.

UCSB the cost for double with mid tier meal plan is $23,078. While a triple is $21,228, so $1850 difference.

At UC Davis a double is $13,059, while a triple is $11,308.

Wow, typing that out it is interesting how much more expensive UCSB housing is compared to UCLA.

Price for triple with mid tier or automatically included meal plan

UCLA  $15,827.76  (classic dorms which are cheapest)
UC Davis $16504  (five day meal plan)   $18391 (seven day meal plan)
UC San Diego $17,334  (mid tier meal plan) 
UC Irvine $ $17,636
Berkeley $19,735
UCSB $21,228
