The housing is conveniently located, there's a shuttle to campus, and utilities are included. The rooms are well soundproofed, furnished, and the appliances are good. The front desk is available 24 hours a day. The only big issue that I have is that it's so expensive.

quality housing near school

Perfect location

Small, but reliable with all utilities covered. Can’t adjust the air conditioning temperature, which is a bit odd. Wifi is inconsistent, often not strong enough for remote classes. Maintenance is a bit slow for non-emergencies. Shuttle access is a lifesaver.

Weyburn is nice because furniture is provided and you live with other students.

The apartment in Paseo is actually quite good. It has a full kitchen a decent full size bed. A desk and a book shelf. The love seat is not comfortable as you can not lie down, you wont fit. It is just a matter of luck what room you get. My room is on the ground floor and is not getting enough sun. There are no ceiling lights in this country so I am using 3 standing lamps so brighten the space. If you are lucky enough to get a room on higher levels with bigger windows, than you should be fine.
The management did not do a good job cleaning the apartment, when I moved in, it was still dirty. Had to do some serious cleaning.
Also, the fan in the room is messed up. Have not been able to figure out how to just turn it off, I am informed that you actually can not turn it off. Sometimes the room gets too hot sometimes it gets too cold. That is just annoying.
Having said that, it is super close to campus. Prior to moving here, I spent to much time on the bus and sometimes in the car. Most of your friends will probably be living in Westwood so it is very convenient to be here and so close to campus.
Bear in mind that these studios are expensive. You can get a room and a bathroom in a shared apartment with approximately 200 cheaper that these studios.

Rooms are very nice and secure, new and maintenance team is fabulous. Overall, very safe and clean and functional but studios are quite small.

See below for what I like and don't like about my apartment.

It's small-ish, but it does its job. I'm just glad to have my own space. Lock is electronic. It ran out of battery once and locked me out. Garbage disposal requires a little help now and then, but nothing hard to fix.

Overall, I am pleased with my experience at Paseo. The maintenance crew in particular is friendly, respectful, and responsive. The point deduction is the result of a few particular issues that I have had (and understand many of my neighbors have had as well).

First, the parking permit process is a nightmare. The information I was given prior to move in was inaccurate. It took me 12 days (each of which I had to pay for parking in an off-property garage) to secure my permit. I was moved back and forth between University Apartments North and the UCLA Parking Services, each of which told me the other would be the one to assist me. Calls went unreturned, and finally after showing up to the UCLA Parking Services office in person and insisting that this matter be resolved before I left, I was able to have the issue with the website fixed. UAN seemed uninformed of the entire process. Albeit, this was a new process for Fall of 2019. Hopefully it has been improved upon.

My greatest issue is the air quality inside of my apartment. For some reason, I have a serious issue with dust. I clean (dusk, vacuum, and sweep) twice a week. Each time, there would be an unnatural amount of dust and other particulate matter (dirt, etc.) in my apartment. I never open the windows. Maintenance has changed my air filters twice and cleaned the air ducts in my unit (maintenance is great). Still, the problem persisted. Dust covered everything, including my bedding. After a semester of feeling unwell (I am allergic to dust), I invested in a rather expensive air purifying system, which seems to be helping. I am not sure if this problem is unique to my unit and/or the result of the on-going construction across the street, but it is an issue that students should not have to burden themselves with resolving as I have.

The thermostats in the units are ornamental. They literally do not work. I understand this is true in the other units as well.
