Housing at UCLA

Students live in Hedrick Summit Residence Hall, opened in 2005. Hedrick is located near the beginning of the famed Bruin Walk and adjacent to the UCLA Sycamore Tennis Center. Rooms are 10, 6, 5 and 4 person suites, comprised of singles, doubles and triples , with semi-private bathrooms and air conditioning. Each room features beds and study desks, ample closet space, private telephones, and high-speed internet access (refrigerator rentals are available). Outstanding in-house facilities include a computer center with laser printers, TV/DVD lounges, game room with ping pong and billiards, and laundry room (lessons available). There is also a hotel style front desk and Discovery Internships/Summer Discovery program office. Steps away are the Sunset Canyon Pool Complex and the new Sunset Village Commons with a coffee house and café.

Location

UCLA’s 24,000 undergraduate and 11,000 graduate students study on a beautiful 411-acre campus of which 60% is open land devoted to lush, green fields, tropical trees, flowers and plants. The University is situated at the foot of the Santa Monica Mountains and nestled between the residential communities of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Westwood, and Santa Monica —and just minutes from spectacular Pacific Ocean beaches. UCLA offers excellent facilities: a six million-volume library, numerous cultural centers and museums, one of the nation’s finest health care complexes, and some of the world’s finest athletic facilities — many built for the Los Angeles Olympic Games.

Health, Safety, and Security

The health, safety and security of each student is our primary concern. Entry to the residence hall is restricted to residents and authorized guests only. Guests must present proper photo-identification in the lobby and be escorted by the residents at all time. For additional safety, there are daily/nightly sign-ins and room checks.  In keeping with a collegiate atmosphere, students are permitted to walk on campus and in our “home area” of Westwood Village, but are required to be in small groups. Our trained, on-site staff will be available 24/7 to ensure you have all of the up-to-date information you need to maximize your summer experience!
