Hedrick Hall Reviews

Pros: Very social Good for first years (mostly first years living there) Elevator is well-lit Quiet surrounding area Closest to the study Clean bathrooms for the most part Cons: Small rooms No AC Furthest up the hill Fire alarm is very sensitive and is notorious for going off in the middle of the night at the start of the year

For what it is, the hall is great and it’s pretty social. The bathrooms are always clean and the rooms are fine. If you can’t live without AC or a private bathroom then don’t live here. For me, overall, Hedrick Hall was a decent place to live.

Hedrick Hall is very social, but that's about all I can say that is good. It is an extremely far walk from campus, which is worsened by the elevation. The Study rocks though!

I had a triple classic here and it was alright. The rooms are pretty small, especially for three people, and there's no AC which wasn't fun in the start of fall quarter and end of spring quarter. The fire alarm went off almost 20 times my year...not great. The Study has great food for breakfast and it's super convenient. The bathrooms are communal and when there's a problem, they don't get fixed as quickly as people liked. The walk up to Hedrick between classes was pretty rough, so I usually just packed my laptop + notebooks/textbooks in my backpack and didn't go back to my dorm room until I was done with classes for the day.

Overall, the place is decent. The hike up to the building from campus isn’t an issue after getting used to it. It seems like the other classic buildings are a bit nicer than Hedrick, maybe because of renovations or more recent construction, but it’s still pretty good. The elevators break more often than you’d expect, but there are a total of 4 and it usually gets fixed soon enough. The only downside is how bad the communal restrooms got on party nights (think vomit everywhere). Some floors had a better rep for this than others. It’s certainly an experience, but if you know that putting up with drunk ppl screaming every weekend is not for you, maybe consider picking a different hall (keep in mind that this was just my observations regarding ...

Hedrick hall is the shit! I loved it. Especially if you're a freshman, it's nice to live in a building that's mainly freshmen. The walk is a little far but with The Study so close by, it's so worth it! UCLA recently renovated it so it's a lot cleaner and nicer. The rooms are small (obv bc it's a classic) but I never felt cramped. I adored Hedrick Hall and I would have lived there again if it didn't have so many freshmen lmao.

Legit. A great hall. It’s far up the hill so if you don’t like walking... don’t pick Heddy 😂 but you’re right next to the Study.

Pros: Walking all the way up the hill will give you more exercise to burn the weight from the great dining halls. It’s also right next to the Study, so you can grab food right there whenever you want. Cons is it’s ALL the way up the hill and is one of the furthest dorms from campus.
