Hilgard Graduate Apartments Review

Great location for law students. Quiet, but very small.

Convenient location with no amenities

Hilgard is convenient but there are no frills. There is no outdoor space beside a few benches in the courtyard, you have to pay for laundry and parking.

Basically a Mausoleum

This place is a crypt. I walked in and it was dingy, poorly lit, covered in copious amounts of dust, and sporting windows caked with dirt such that sunlight had some difficulty getting in. No joke. Not only can you hear every vent/pipe trying to function, but you can hear clear as a bell EVERY neighbor in the building. Above, below, across the courtyard— there is no limit to the noise pollution. It is simply not worth the price. And in the hallway outside of my unit, there was some vent that would SCREECH at random hours of the day— usually the wee hours of the morning. Oh, and I almost forgot that my bathroom would pump out a sewage smell into the unit every other day. Housing did not respond to my concerns when noted in the move-in review (which specified that maintenance would respond to issues in the submission). My health declined somewhat in this space as well, so I sometimes wonder if the grime wasn’t limited to dust and dirty windows but included something more dangerous. I was fortunate enough to find a way out and escaped this hole in under a month. Run, don’t walk, away from this poorly made and never updated old building.

Overall great

Overall great place to live. Internet is very weak, however. There is hardly any natural light on the first floor.

Convenient but Basic

Can’t fault the location as it’s 15 min walk or 5 min scooter to Anderson. You’re living on sorority row so the neighbors have great curb appeal. However, the room is about 450-500 sq ft and everything’s very basic but functional. Laundry is shared in whole building and you have to pay extra for parking. From a convenience standpoint, you can easily go home after classes to change before a networking event since the apartment is so close.

Hilgard Great Option for 1st Yr at Business School

The Hilgard Apartments offered by UCLA Graduate Student Housing are a great option for first year business school students. They are extremely conveniently located to the Anderson campus, and include all utilities. You can easily walk to the John Wooden Center, which has full gym facilities. It is quiet and close to Westwood Village, which has a Trader Joe's, Ralph's, and Wholefoods, plus lots of bars and restaurants.

Westwood Reviews

166 reviews
Westwood is great. Can take the Bruin Bus to get to campus easily so no need to pay for parking on campus. Westwood village is an easy walk with many great shops and restaurants. Westwood park is around the corner which offers all kinds of outdoor activities. Really enjoy living in this quiet, safe neighborhood.
Great college area, a little depressed because of COVID, but has a lot of potential and feels very accessible. Close to other nice areas like Brentwood or Santa Monica
Expensive, quiet depending on how close you are to undergraduate apartment buildings and the medical center.
The walk to Westwood is kind of long, I usually drive.
Westwood is a great area for graduate and professional students who are not from LA. It is walkable (grocery, pharmacy, restaurants, etc.), which is nice. Campus is close by, and a bus service runs from Weyburn directly to campus.

There is a large amount of homeless activity in the area.

It is a very young neighborhood. A lot of undergrads in the streets.
I'm not a city person, so it feels like there's nothing to do. I don't like bars or clubs, and I can't afford to eat out. Movies are pretty expensive, too. I would love more green space to sit and get away from the noisy 405. But there is a grocery store nearby, and there are a fair number of restaurants and movie theaters. There should be plenty to do for city people. Westwood feels like your typical college town, and it's full of students.
Lots of dining and grocery options at all price points. Very happy to have Ralph's and Target within walking distance (along with upscale groceries if that's your thing). 30 min to LAX or Santa Monica by car (if traffic is cooperative). Easy access to the 405. Lots of Uber cars around to take you where you need to go. Some quiet neighborhoods around campus that are good for running.

Some homeless people but overall feels quite safe. Only problem is that (surprise) it's definitely not cheap to live here.
Westwood is full of UCLA students. Everyone is friendly and there is a shopping center within walking distance of the apartment. Our apartment building is also filled with a lot of nurses or retired couples which is nice. We also have many foreign exchange students living here.
