Mesa Nueva

I've had a great experience in a studio so far. It's a great size and has lots of storage space. The closet is a little small and the shower has no shelving or anything but is otherwise functional.

With a fair price, it's recommended for any grad students at UCSD if you have no better options.

Living in the grad housing is a nice experience. It provides a comfortable living environment along with wonderful services.

The fact that all utilities and maintenance is included makes it very convenient. It's roomy for a studio and all the major furniture and furnishings are of good quality. Only thing missing is a dish washer, otherwise it's ideal

I live in a studio and it's very comfortable in all terms. You are surrounded by other students of similar age, it's in a very silent environment so there are no external noises, if anything isn't working properly they replace it or fix it for free. The internet is great, each apartment has their own fiber optic wifi with high speed. Electricity and water costs are included.

I live close to the swimming pool and I enjoy swimming there. The gym nearby is also convenient for my workouts. However, I wish the walls between my room and my neighbors could be thicker so there would be less noise.

Not bad place to live

The main benefit is that it is close to the school and rent is below market rate. The room itself is small, but there is ample space in my bathroom/common area. I appreciate the shared grills and included gyms. Another huge convenience is the Amazon locker. The gym is better than most apartment gyms since there is actually a barbell and squat rack. Being surrounded by students is also a plus in terms of safety. Maintenance is generally fast with requests too. Downsides are cats and air conditioners are not allowed, which can get annoying.

I have a semi-spacious apartment (disability accessible) with in unit washer dryer which is a big positive. It is a good price (older rates) for a lot of connivence and ease as a graduate student. I am near the ping pong tables, so during certain times of years (Summer, end of quarters), people are very noisy until 1-2am using this space, and I like to leave my window open during the hotter months so that is a bummer. I am also close to the gym, which regularly plays very loud music around 5pm each day, I don't mind, but it can get annoying. Parking is easy and consistent for me and I am a quick scooter or ~25minute walk from my lab on campus. Very little storage for larger things in general, especially non-master room. Having big bins ( I.e decorations), is a big struggle.

Basically I have got everything that I need
