Great location for law students. Quiet, but very small.

Good space and affordable for single person

Hilgard is convenient but there are no frills. There is no outdoor space beside a few benches in the courtyard, you have to pay for laundry and parking.

Great affordable studio housing option

This place is a crypt. I walked in and it was dingy, poorly lit, covered in copious amounts of dust, and sporting windows caked with dirt such that sunlight had some difficulty getting in. No joke. Not only can you hear every vent/pipe trying to function, but you can hear clear as a bell EVERY neighbor in the building. Above, below, across the courtyard— there is no limit to the noise pollution. It is simply not worth the price. And in the hallway outside of my unit, there was some vent that would SCREECH at random hours of the day— usually the wee hours of the morning. Oh, and I almost forgot that my bathroom would pump out a sewage smell into the unit every other day. Housing did not respond to my concerns when noted in the move-in review (which specified that maintenance would respond to issues in the submission). My health declined somewhat in this space as well, so I sometimes wonder if the grime wasn’t limited to dust and dirty windows but included something more dangerous. I was fortunate enough to find a way out and escaped this hole in under a month. Run, don’t walk, away from this poorly made and never updated old building.

Overall great place to live. Internet is very weak, however. There is hardly any natural light on the first floor.

Can’t fault the location as it’s 15 min walk or 5 min scooter to Anderson. You’re living on sorority row so the neighbors have great curb appeal. However, the room is about 450-500 sq ft and everything’s very basic but functional. Laundry is shared in whole building and you have to pay extra for parking. From a convenience standpoint, you can easily go home after classes to change before a networking event since the apartment is so close.

Pros: Close to campus and easy to move in/out.
Cons: Thins walls/ceilings, super small, little to no character

The Hilgard Apartments offered by UCLA Graduate Student Housing are a great option for first year business school students. They are extremely conveniently located to the Anderson campus, and include all utilities. You can easily walk to the John Wooden Center, which has full gym facilities. It is quiet and close to Westwood Village, which has a Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and Wholefoods, plus lots of bars and restaurants.
