Dykstra Hall Reviews

De neve dykstra is a good dorm I would say to love four years. It’s the closets to campus which is great because there’s alot of walking in UCLA. it’s also close to de neve dining hall. The dorm is all classic style so it’s kind of small. The dorm has three beds, one bunk bed and one single. There are three desks and bathrooms outside which the floor shares. I think out of all the classics dykstra is the best.

Kind of older dorms, but still was nice and clean. Double was very comfortable, triple might be a little cramped though. Gets kind of hot in the summer since there is no AC, but maybe that has changed now. Can always bring your own little AC unit or fan. Dining hall right downstairs too so that was convenient!

Oh Dykstra, amazing memories haunt the hallways. You meet the coolest people and get the best stories. There’s something special about the shared feeling of living in the trenches. Room was tiny af but forces a minimalist lifestyle. Bathroom was clean most of the time.

I really enjoyed my Dykstra experience even though it's one of the older buildings on the hill- although I'm pretty sure they renovated it this year. It's right next to Bruinwalk and super close to bfit/bplate. I would definitely recommend getting a double though because the rooms are tiny so you're almost living on top of one another. The bathrooms are pretty spacious and clean as well.

I loved my Dykstra experience even if the dorm is a little older than other buildings- although I'm pretty sure they renovated it after I left. It is so close to Bruin walk + bplate/bfit which is definitely a plus. Also the bathrooms are pretty big and fairly clean. I would strongly suggest getting a double though because in a triple you're practically living on top of each other and it gets really stuffy. Also, it's weirdly placed compared to the other buildings so you might end up looking at a wall. The building is also kind of hard to get to but once you know how to get there it's not so bad.

Dykstra was an overall good dorm to live in, the closest to BruinWalk and Westwood and also connected to De Neve dining hall. The elevators were usually working, and the bathrooms were fine but would get pretty dirty throughout the day, especially the showers, and they would often run out of toilet paper before the end of the day. The dorm rooms were comfy; they could use some more natural light, but you can open the windows. However, one side of the dorms would always get hotter and stuffier than the other side, which could get a little cold depending on the weather.

Loved the proximity of this building to campus. It was great having De Neve dining hall so close (especially with Late Night). Communal bathrooms are ok but can get a little gross and run out of soap/paper towels the more time passes since it was last cleaned. Lived in a classic triple. Very small and gets very hot in the summers without A/C. I would chill in the lounge where they had A/C before returning to my room on hotter days. I would spend most of my time out of my room anyway so size didn’t impact me that much.

I lived on the side of dykstra facing the parking lot/ocean, so my room always had the extremes of the weather. it was very stuffy and humid. it's nice to be close to campus, but not worth it because it's hard for your friends to get into the building as well. the laundry machines were constantly broken, and i had to make multiple trips downstairs just to check if any were available, which i only did 1-2 times last year in a different building.

Definitely the best out of all the classic buildings ... Close to campus and has really nice bathrooms (almost as nice as the deluxes).... You do have to walk upwards for other places like the Study but it’s really nice not to have to walk an extra flight of stairs after class... Of course classics arent as nice as plazas but you get for what you pay for... Elevators also really slow...
