Hedrick Summit Reviews

hedrick summit is in a really quiet area which is great, but it is super quiet because it is the farthest up the hill, which means lots of walking :( but besides that, the only other con is at least one of the elevators broke down kind of a lot, so there were long waits for the elevator. But, hedrick summit is a great place to live, plaza rooms are a nice size and the shared bathroom is a plus. & there is air conditioning & the laundry room is super big.

Hedrick Summit is a pretty good dorm. It‘s a plaza so it has some of the larger rooms that UCLA has to offer, with private/shared bathrooms that are cleaned weekly. It’s also one of the buildings that has singles, but they’re pretty pricey and limited. There were two lounges on each floor that were good for a space to go when you don’t want to be in your room, and where you can be social with other people on the floor. I was there as a freshman and it felt like most of the people on my floor were freshmen too. The washing machines and the elevator would break A LOT though, hoping they’ve solved those issues. It is also at the very top of the Hill, so you’ll get to know the hill better than anyone else, constantly having to walk all the way ... See more

Lived in a suite, was honestly just what I expected coming in. The amenities are very nice and all there, so the experience largely depends on your roommates and their living habits, cleanliness, etc. Only complaint I'd have is it is one of the farthest dorms from campus, only beat out by Hitch, so expect a walk to class of ~30 min or more if you want to take your time going to/from the Hill.

Summit is a great freshman year dorm! Yes, it’s super far from campus but that’s the only price to pay for ac, bigger triples, your own shared bathroom (that is cleaned for you), and a friendly/fun environment for freshman to socialize in. Plus the study (carry-out food) is so good and super close to summit.

Hedrick Summit was my freshman year dorm and I loved the building and facilities. The building was constructed in the 60s and is one of the newer dorms on campus. It is at the top of "the Hill" which is the dorm complex all residence halls are located in. Some people greatly dislike this as it is an extra walk, but it never bothered me. As a freshman, you're required to live in a triple. Hedrick Summit, which has suites rather than classic dorm rooms, has a good amount of space. If you are on the 5th floor or above on the even numbered side (I think) you should be able to overlook the Sunset Rec center. I saw a lot of trees and could see the pool from my room which was nicer than other dorms' views, some of which look down into alleyways or... See more
