UCLA Student Housing - Graduate

Graduate

Roughly 3,000 graduate students live in one of six UCLA-owned apartment complexes or communities. As of 2007, UCLA housed 26% of its graduate and professional students.

Hilgard House and Weyburn Terrace provide housing for single students. The other graduate units, located south of the 10 Freeway, provide family housing.

  • Weyburn Terrace. In 2002, the university began constructing Phase 1 of Weyburn Terrace, a seven building apartment community with 1,387 beds, in order to recruit top graduate students from around the world. Previously, there had been no university-operated graduate housing on or near the main campus since the demolition of a graduate student-only dorm damaged by the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The project suffered numerous delays, but was fully completed before the Fall 2005 term. Weyburn Terrace enables UCLA to provide housing to approximately fifty percent of incoming graduate and professional students. It also served as housing for displaced Tulane University law students who visited at UCLA during the Fall semester following Hurricane Katrina. A limited number of units are available with furniture for an additional fee. The buildings in Weyburn Terrace are all named after trees: Aloe, Magnolia, Sycamore, Palm, Jacaranda, Cypress, and Olive.
  • Hilgard Houses. Hilgard Houses apartments consist of two complexes located on the east edge of campus on Hilgard Avenue. Each three-story building has a central courtyard, laundry room, and subterranean parking. All 81 units are furnished studio apartments with full kitchens. The Hilgard Houses apartments are 100% smoke-free in order to maintain the indoor air quality and only non-smokers will be allowed to live there. The Hilgard Houses complex is for single students.
  • University Village. University Village provides student community living for married students, same-sex domestic partners and single parents. Units consist of unfurnished one-, two- and three-bedrooms. It is reserved for family use.
  • Rose Avenue Apartments. Rose Avenue has 93 unfurnished units, primarily two-bedroom, located across from the University Village complex. Two-bedroom apartments are approximately 870 square feet (81 m2). The complex was not built specifically to house families, but families may reside here.
  • Keystone/Mentone. Keystone/Mentone, located in Palms, is a 244-unit complex contains one- and two-bedroom unfurnished apartments. The complex was not built specifically to house families, but families may reside here.
  • Venice/Barry. The Venice/Barry apartments is a 140-unit building containing unfurnished junior one-bedroom, one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The complex was not built specifically to house families, but families may reside here.

The complexes which permit families are zoned to the Los Angeles Unified School District.

  • The Keystone-Mentone complex is zoned to Palms Elementary School, Palms Middle School, and Hamilton High School.
  • Rose Avenue is zoned to Charnock Road Elementary School, Palms Middle School, and Venice High School. Rose Avenue had been rezoned from Hamilton to Venice in 2007.
  • University Village is zoned to Clover Elementary School, Webster Middle School, and Venice High School.
  • Venice-Barry is zoned to Grand View Elementary School, Webster Middle School, and Venice High School.

Famous quotes containing the word graduate:

    “I am not impressed by the Ivy League establishments. Of course they graduate the best—it’s all they’ll take, leaving to others the problem of educating the country. They will give you an education the way the banks will give you money—provided you can prove to their satisfaction that you don’t need it.”
    —Peter De Vries (b. 1910)

    “Miss Caswell is an actress, a graduate of the Copacabana school of dramatic arts.”
    —Joseph L. Mankiewicz (1909–1993)

    “In the United States, it is now possible for a person eighteen years of age, female as well as male, to graduate from high school, college, or university without ever having cared for, or even held, a baby; without ever having comforted or assisted another human being who really needed help. . . . No society can long sustain itself unless its members have learned the sensitivities, motivations, and skills involved in assisting and caring for other human beings.”
    —Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
