UCLA Dorms Map
First:
Let’s get an overview look with the UCLA campus map.
All of the undergraduate dormitories are located in the northwest part of the campus, which is known as “the Hill.”
(Here’s a closer view. )
Within the Hill are 6 main residential complexes:
- De Neve Plaza
- Dykstra Hall
- Hedrick Court

Dykstra was built in 1959, making the oldest dorm at UCLA. However, it did undergo renovations in 2012-13.
