Thanks for the update!
It's really too bad that some of the 'seniors', who would be willing to drive and give rides are stuck by work related chores that week end...
:(

Hopefully peeps are gonna find ways to get there, UCLA is great.

--Housing and Transportation--
As far as places to stay go...if you are looking to stay with someone, I think at least one person here volunteered to house people.
Anyone else willing to house people? If so, how many an stay at your place?

- Ty (aka Beast) has volunteered to house 5-6 people

ok. i put in for the time off, and friday/saturday night, i can house like, 5-6 people. im here in La Habra Heights, about 15 minutes from Hillcrest/Fullerton. my phone number is 562-217-1230. text me, as when i'm at work, i can't reallly talk on the phone, but can sneak info via text. so yeah, there ya go. :) Albert and Michael and a few others stayed at my place last year
Beast still has a few spots left that haven't been claimed if anyone needs a place to stay.


Hostels in the Santa Monica/Venice, West Hollywood/Hollywood area are good. Here are a few good ones:
Santa Monica - http://www.hilosangeles.org/
Hollywood - http://www.usahostels.com/hollywood/index.html?lang=10
Venice - http://www.venicebeachcotel.com/
West Hollywood - http://bananabungalowus.com/west%20hollywood/index.html
If you are a girl and want a hostel that is all girls and proven to be safe, check out this one in Hollywood bordering Downtown (getting a little far from UCLA if you don't have a ride) http://www.hostels.com/hostels/los-angeles/hollywood-all-female-gue...

As for hotels/motels, search for something in one of these areas to be near UCLA: Westwood, Century City, Santa Monica, Culver City, Venice, West LA, West Hollywood, Beverly Hills, or Brentwood.
UCLA has a "Guest House" Hotel which can be useful if you are splitting the cost or don't mind paying a bit more. Then again hotels in the area are not generally inexpensive. Motels will be less expensive. If you have any questions about a particular area and safety, post up and I'll let you know my thoughts.

Of course depending on where you are will determine your transportation needs. There are a few bus systems in LA that work though it can be difficult to navigate. One has to know what buses and times before going to a bus stop as there is rarely a schedule at the actual bus stop itself. Google Maps is a good place to start for bus directions if you have addresses. Also, LA Metro goes virtually everywhere in LA but can get confusing. Santa Monica has an efficient bus system called the Big Blue Bus. Culver City has the Culver City Bus. Hollywood/West Hollywood has the "Dash" but effective August 1st it won't service that area anymore but the area will still be covered by LA Metro.
Of course there are local taxis but I don't know how expensive that will get.

Also, I'm sure some people are willing to offer rides as well as long as they know you need it so post up! NoFlo already offer

This is coming together nicely...
Unfortunately some of us have job related commitments (over the WE... what are the odds?!?), but if anybody has the energy, the time, the resources to go, make sure you don't miss that.

PKcali guys know there way around, LA has awesome spots, better weather and a good vibe...

These are the kind of things that stay with you forever.
