UCLA Dorms Map

UCLA campus map with circle indicating where the dorms are — Campus Map of the University of California, Los Angeles

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
Reiber Court
Sproul Plaza
and Sunset Village

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

The newest student housing buildings are Holly Ridge, Gardenia Way, Sproul Cove, and Sproul Landing. They were completed in 2012 and 2013.

And:

In light of the increased demand for student housing, UCLA has long-term plans for the construction of additional buildings.
