  • We are here onThe Hill.” That’s where undergraduates live at UCLA.

  • Here we are at the south end of The Hill.

  • This is De Neve Plaza.

  • The buildings here have tree or plant names, from A for Acacia through

  • H for Holly.

  • Here’s Holly. It’s where I live.

  • It’s the center of the universe.

  • Please! On the north end of The Hill is Sunset Village, with places like Canyon Point

  • and Courtside.

  • I live in Courtside.

  • It’s right by the tennis court.

  • Tennis is fun, but if that’s not your game, there’s a bunch of other things to do.

  • Like an outdoor gym.

  • Or basketball.

  • Or volleyball.

  • Or swimming.

  • In between De Neve Plaza and Sunset Village there’s a mixture

  • of new and updated buildings. For instance,

  • there are the three Riebers: Rieber Hall, Rieber Vista, and Rieber Terrace.

  • On The Hill, youre never very far from central campus,

  • where your classes, libraries and student services are. More than 90 percent of new students live on campus.

  • When you live here, you get oriented to campus life sooner.

  • There’s a lot of variety here at Feast. My favorite is all the vegetarian options.

  • The best is the sushi.

  • But I love the flatbread.

  • You can even check your phone for the daily menu or nutritional facts.

  • If you want to!

  • This is a great place to live. Let’s go check out a room . . .

  • We have an award-winning dining program, and De Neve is one of the best.

  • Let me show you around.

  • The cafes are fun, too.

  • Some people hang out in their rooms, but there’s a whole student neighborhood,

  • with places to study and places to kick back.

  • It’s a lot of fun living on campus,

  • and it can help you do better academically.
