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
• 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.

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

Pictures of lovely dorm rooms!

You may not be able to paint the walls, but you can liven them up with a nice wall hanging.

Bunking while dorming is pretty normal…

but these bunks are above average!

This is such an adorable idea.

Clipping pics onto a tapestry like this is genius. A little creativity goes a long way.

Pink is great and grey is, too. I love the calming vibe of this color theme.

Friends are the BEST dorm room decor! That and fluffy, faux fur pillows. This bunk bed setup is so festive.

The orange in the bedspread pattern and the tapestry makes this college room POP.

The view is a factor to consider when you’re deciding on which UCLA dorm you want to live in. Sunlight gives this room a light and airy feel.

This room is like a trip to the candy aisle:

So many things to look at and want!

This picture? Perfect! That bed set? Perfect!

This one is giving me major blanket fort FOMO.

Decorating with vines and polaroids is super in right now.

I’m loving the shades of blue with this dorm room bunk bed.

A golden tapestry + pink hues = one dreamy UCLA dorm!

I’m kind of obsessing over the flamingo pillow right now.

Featured here: A fuzzy blanket, a world map, and all the pictures to remember the homies!

This orange color scheme gives it a Halloween feel all year long.
