Student Media UCLA is the home of UCLA's student-run media, including the campus newspaper, magazines, and radio and television stations.[133]
Media publications[edit]
Most student media publications distributed on-campus are governed by the ASUCLA Communications Board. The Daily Bruin is UCLA's most prominent student publication. Founded in 1919 under the name Cub Californian, it has since then developed into Los Angeles' third-most circulated newspaper. It has won over 20 national awards in the last five years, and is regularly commended for layout and content. In 2006, the Society of Professional Journalists awarded it Best All-Around Daily Newspaper in the national Mark of Excellence Awards.[134] The newspaper has not been without scrutiny and controversy, and in 1954, the administration attempted to intervene with the previous policy of electing editors by a student council. UCLA Student Media also publishes seven news magazines, each established to serve a special-interest community on campus: Al-Talib, Fem, Ha'Am, La Gente de Aztlan, Nommo, Pacific Ties, and Outwrite, a school yearbook, BruinLife, Daily Bruin Television (DBTV), the student-run radio station, UCLAradio.com, formerly known as KLA, and the online campus review-site Bruinwalk.com. Student groups such as The Forum for Energy Economics and Development also publish yearly journals focused on energy technologies and industries.
Housing[edit]
Main article: UCLA student housing


Rieber Terrace housing
UCLA provides housing to over 10,000 undergraduate and 2,900 graduate students.[135]
Most undergraduate students are housed in 14 complexes on the western side of campus, referred to by students as "The Hill." Students can live in halls, plazas, suites, or university apartments, which vary in pricing and privacy. Housing plans also offer students access to dining facilities, which have been ranked by the Princeton Review as some of the best in the nation.[136] Dining halls are located in De Neve, Rieber, Covel, and Hedrick Halls. In winter 2012, a new dining hall called The Feast at Rieber opened to students.[137] Residential cafes include Bruin Cafe, Rendezvous, and Cafe 1919.[137] Cafe 1919's location formerly housed a cafe known as Puzzles.[137] UCLA currently offers three years guaranteed housing to its incoming freshman, and one year to incoming transfer students. There are four type of housing available for students, residential halls, deluxe residential halls, residential plazas, and residential suites. Available on the hill are study rooms, basketball courts, tennis courts, and Sunset Recreational Center which includes three pools.
Graduate students are housed in one of five apartment complexes. One, Weyburn Terrace, is located just southwest of the campus. The other four are roughly five miles south of UCLA in Palms and Mar Vista. They too vary in pricing and privacy.[138]
According to the Daily Bruin, 1,525 beds, 10 faculty in-residence apartments and a 750-seat dining hall will be built on the Northwest Housing Infill Project on the Hill by 2013. The buildings are tentatively titled De Neve Gardenia Way, De Neve Holly Ridge, Sproul Cove, and Sproul Landing.[139]
If involved in Greek life, students have the option to also live in Greek housing while at UCLA. Oftentimes cheaper than living in the dorms or the apartments, Greek housing is a great option for living arrangements for a year or two. Sorority houses are located on Hilgard Avenue, and the Fraternity houses are placed on the opposite side of campus throughout Westwood Village. A student usually lives with 50+ students in Greek housing.
Hospitality[edit]
Hospitality constituents of the university include departments not directly related to student life or administration. The Hospitality department manages the UCLA Guest House, a full-service, on-campus hotel. The 61-room Guest House services those visiting the university for campus-related activities.[140] The department also manages the UCLA Conference Center, a 40 acre (0.2 km²) conference center in the San Bernardino Mountains near Lake Arrowhead.[141] Hospitality also operates UCLA Catering [142] a Vending operation, and summer conference center located on the Westwood campus.[143]
