the dining hall names sound so elegant
My sister goes there we live like 12 minutes away and it is really beautiful
As a senior at UCLA, I can say that this is spot on. Sucks that we can't enjoy it now during covid. Stay Healthy and Safe everyone! I miss campus so much, it was nice to see it again
Indeed,blame the lockdown on neil ferguson the hypocritical epistemologicist.
She is a sophomore now and I have eaten at Dennev
I graduated 2005 and I just LOVE what they have done with the dorm food options. It was good then but now it is on a resort level. I also can't believe how much has been built or remodeled, I bet if I took a tour it would be like a completely different school
@Shivansh Singh You pay for the food through the meal plan you pick while picking housing
I lived at Rieber Hall during my freshman and sophomore years at UCLA in the late 80s. We didn’t have food options like this. If anything, it left a lot to be desired. I am so jealous!
I lived at Rieber too! Aww, the memories. I graduated 2005 and it was pretty good but before they revamped the halls into having specific tastes, the best dining hall was Hedrick.
that’s dope, UCLA is in my top 5 dream schools🙏🏽
Same. It’s my top school

Enjoy borrowing hundreds of thousands of dollars lmfao and wasting 4-8 years. I make over 6 digits a year and invested my extra in 4-8 years annnnnnnd.....welp...they don't tell you that in school. Quit going to college. You're not learning, you're consuming what a business is selling. (Unless you're studying to be a lawyer or doctor)
I lived in Dykstra Hall during the 1970s. All the other dorms (Reiber, Hedrick) served the same food. Food was overall pretty good but was cafeteria style with a few entries every meal, sides, salad bar, soup bar and desert bar. It was all you can eat. Entries rotated every few weeks and was basically traditional America food like meat loaf, pork chops (they were very tasty), Thanksgiving turkey with the trimmings, fried chicken, beef stew, chicken pot pies, white fish, tuna casserole, etc. They often had Italian entrees like lasagna, ravioli, backed macaroni. But once a week or so they served real steak and prime rib which was always a treat. Lunch time you could get burgers from the grill, fries along with the entrees. There was also a pasta bar but the sauces were limited to Mariana and Alfredo. And you can get slices of pizza for lunch or dinner. Don’t recall Asian food unless you count pepper steak over white rice. I think they served some Mexican but I wasn’t a big fan of it. Desert had tasty pies, cakes and a soft serve ice cream machine to make your own sundaes. Use to eat this ice cream just about daily. They also had self serve soda, milk, coffee and juice machines. Breakfast was traditional American and I remember a few friends that would only get about 10 slices of bacon. If you didn’t want to return to the dorm for lunch you could pick up a brown bag lunch in the morning consisting of a basic sandwich, fruit, bag of chips and a carton of milk or juice. Dorm cafeteria closed around 730 or 8 so late night food was limited to vending machines. We did have microwave ovens so burritos and awful tasting burgers and pizza could be nuked. I never did starve and enjoyed most of the food.
I'm a freshman and unfortunately I've been at home this school year, but I'm SO excited to try the food when we go back on campus!
Going as a freshman this fall. so pumped after this video. really appreciate your efforts. could have been epic if you had shots of FEAST at Rieber as I am in Rieber hall and that's the most exciting one ngl.
I’m in sixth grade but am OBSESSED with UCLA!!
Omg so excited I start my first semester fall 2020 🐻🐻🐻
UCLA is in my top 3 for colleges as a soccer player who has a dream of scholarship and this is the first time i’ve seen the food it looks so good!
hi you’re so pretty and this video was so helpful!! this vid def made me more excited to go this fall :)
Dang! I graduated in 96. I know that was a looong time ago but dang! You weren't even born yet. The dining situation has improved big time! Cool Video! I love UCLA:)
as a recent commit this was super helpful for me!! can't wait to stuff my face lol
Kimmy Rice Das my roomieeeeee
^^ that’s mY roomiess 🥺💞
I'm in incoming freshman! I can't wait to try the food 😭 It looks SOOO good
update us! how was it lol?
We need to know
I'm sure it's #1 college dining hall in U.S~ everything is fresh and good, I looooved dining there! 😄
I go to UMass amherst and we have #1 dining fir the past five years too!!! It’s sooo good I want to try UCLA’s 🥰
You’re literally the best!
Seeing that dining hall make me want to apply for UCLA.
I'm an incoming freshman and I'm so happy that I'll be living on campus this year! Can't wait to try all the food
congrats!! so exciting :')
how was it?!?
@@joemama-oc9mh really good! The Study and Rendezvous are some of my favorite places to eat
I'm only in 4th grade but- UCLA sounds so cool!
awh, I love that you're looking early :)
4th graders on youtube-
@@yikesman72 yes-
edit: I'm in 5th grade now tho
My 4 year brother is on TH-cam lmao
im in 7th and its the college im aiming for but i have lots of time lol
sooo hungry rn! Quarantine got me making grilled cheese and macaroni only.
So much has changed but stayed the same! Best college ever! Go Bruins!
Ah, I miss UCLA food already. It's 4 am and I'm hungry again lol.
Just going to put some of my tibbits to add on to yours:
You forgot the omlette lines omg. I miss Covel and BPlate omlette so much. If you go to De Neve's breakfast, they serve RICE that you can eat with your omelette. Covel's pancakes are also really good imo.
Feast is pretty good, but I personally tend to stay away from my country's food. I know a lot of people who like it, but as someone who grew up on them, it kind of disappoints. :( For a lot of the food though, you'd see people go and take seconds... And thirds... And fourths... All the time. It's kind of funny seeing people just automatically loop back in line after getting out of it.
Covel is safe. This is the dining hall I went to the most due to the proximity to my dorm. I found that as midterms and finals close in, you care less about where you go and more of which one is closer lol.
If you go to or ever visit, please don't use the trays. They'll also need to be washed and we need to conserve all the water we can get in drought riddened CA.
On the unlikely but hopeful chance we meet, I'll be sure to say hi! You seem like a cool person to talk to. :3
YES to everything you said haha 😂 makes me miss UCLA :'(
I'm currently browsing around UCLA by TH-cam and the food looks very appetizing, I should go here if I get accepted lol
Such a great video 👏👏 also your eyes are gorgeous!!
aww thank you :')
This is my motivation to study
makes me feel a lil better abt ucla, i grew up as a usc child and still am haha!

UCLA is my dream school. I am transferring hopefully. If they let me in.

I did dorms for two years at Ohio State (early 1980's) and I don't remember eating in the Dining Halls at all....lol. This looks a lot better than what we had and we used to get jobs for money to eat out.....
Super helpful video! Thank you~~
So Great 💓
Wait for me ... I will catch up to school there🥺❤️✨
very cool
I’m 11, my dream university is UCLA.
Me too I'm 11 and UCLA is my dream university.
I’m 13 and it’s my dream school too 😂
Same
Wait so you're telling me that Rende West used to have breakfast burritos!? That would be game changer if they brought that back!!
Incoming freshman! I’m so excited!
so excited for you! :)
me too
I’m in 5th grade a UCLA is one of the top 5 colleges
B plate is about making one unhealthy. I use to get bad periods when I tried going vegan for several years. Then I started to eat meat and my problems disappeared. My doctor asked what changed? I said I began to eat meat and dairy again.
Thanks for making this video! I got accepted last week, and I’m still deciding where to go... How was your freshman experience at UCLA?
congrats, that's so exciting!! going to UCLA has seriously been one of the greatest experiences of my life and i wouldn't trade my time here for any other school :) I know college decisions can be tough, I'm here if you have any specific questions about UCLA!
lifeofmeili thank you so much! what is the best way to contact you for questions?
@@natalie574 feel free to leave them in the comments or DM me on Instagram! IG: @meili_zzz
Attending this fall! so excited !!
congrats!!
Me too! As someone who doesn’t have much food at home this is honestly overwhelming
Apple pizza? Woah this school is really the school of the future
I really like your voice 🥺❤️
DREAM COLLEGE FOREVER😩😍😍
That’s why I want to go to UCLA.
In about a year or 2, I am gonna be transferring to UCLA because I want to see my friends in UCLA and I just want to live life in LA
@lifeofmeili does feast still have anime themed days?
Hey what Indian food they serve!?? Please tell that would be great help!!
My name is Andrew Smith and I work for Sodexo at Gonzaga University in Spokane Washington and I’m just wondering does Sodexo work there at UCLA
I graduated in 2018 & I still dream about the food 🥲 lol
Do you get scholarship or like do they do any kind of financial aid?
Do they check your student id when you go in every time ? If you didn’t bring it you can still go in right ?
you need your student id to enter the dining halls, that's how you pay for the food!
Is there a good amount of diversity at ucla?
I got inn
Is the food free?
My sister is in UCLA!
Does your school have restaurants on campus just for students? Maybe that’s just Canadian schools. Here depending on the school we have Tim Hortons, Subway, Pizza places, etc
yes! there are a few options on the main part of campus!
It’s gonna be ova for me when I dorm this fall 😭
You are entering college with poor grammar? I guess colleges no longer have standards. No wonder the younger generation is becoming dumber every year.
Wait what? Umass Amherst also claims to have #1 dining in America
hi i’m a sophomore in high school (year 11 in the UK) and i was thinking of applying to UCLA. do you know if there are halal options? it’s one of the reasons i want to apply for syracuse lol i’ve just struggled to find US colleges that have halal food. thanks!
yes they definitely have halal options it says on the website
I believe they only serve halal food at Covel which was the second dining hall she mentioned
i hope i get accepted into ucla 😭😭😭
I got in this year :DDDDD
Hey... Are u applicable for the meal plans there if you don't live in the dorms or campus?
yes! you can buy a non resident meal plan or pay per meal!
Do you know the exact price difference between each meal plan?
If you look under the "meal plan portion" of this chart those are the prices! portal.housing.ucla.edu/my-housing/rate-contracts-rules/2019-2020-classic-residence-hall-triple-rates
@@lifeofmeili Looks so good! Can you also just get plain grilled cheese or plain pizza if don't want anything special? Or pb and j?
@@ClassicCoal1 yes there's a lot of extra options!
Where is UCLA located because it is on my top 5 but I wanted to know where it’s located not exactly but the state anyone?
It’s in Los Angeles, California
Ok thanks
I live in Pennsylvania, but I really want to go to UCLA. Do you think it’s worth it to go to it since it’s so far away?
yes!! I actually have a few friends at UCLA who are from Pennsylvania! There are students from all over the world that come here :)
@@lifeofmeili That makes me so happy 😊 Thank you! Also I really love your UCLA videos I’ve been watching a lot of them
Is their away where you can live with your parents but still get the food.
I am in 7th grade and this is my dream school.💙💛💙💛
yes, you can still eat at the dining halls even if you don't live on campus!
@@lifeofmeili thank for the answer
Are your foods free? or included with your tuition ?
there's a separate fee for housing & dining!
do you have to be a ucla student to be able to eat there? sorry if this is a stupid question
no it's open to anyone! But if you're not a student you have to buy a meal ticket, since students enter using their student ID
Boujee and Brussel sprouts... never been used in the same sentence before or ever again
Do you have to pay for all the food?
yes there are different meal plan options with different prices!
I'm in Grade 9 I live in South Africa and UCLA is my dream school. You think I'm allowed to learn there?
Ofcouse but u gotta get in first
So dinning hall is free or do you have to pay?
No
Yak! Pan--JPN!
Came here cause I'm missing UCLA food.
same!
What's the cost? Is this included with tuition? Or is it another cost?
the cost is included in housing prices. you can only get swipes to the dining hall if you’re living on campus.
Cool video, but chipotle is not mexican food
I’m jealous
do you have to pay for the food
yes there are different meal plan options!
Do they let you use swipes for family?
yes!
I'm currently in 7th grade nearly 8th, and UCLA is my dream school. But- I'm an international student which means that even if I get in, I may not be able to afford it:)
yeah try to sing up to programmes like crimson that will help you with everything and to get scholarships. you have a long while til you need to apply so get all your reasearch done early to find as many scholarships and financial aids as possible
@@sneakerhead6625 tysm! gonna try thaat one
Who guards the food wtf
o
this is so conflicting!!! I can't choose between Cal and UCLA !!
Same here
I literally chose UCLA entirely based on the food. Cal's was appalling and I didn't want to struggle with that
Go for ucka
Don't got to go to college I'm a boxer
it looks like they serve nothing but carbohydrates. they should provide every student a blood glucose monitor.
As academics become more basic, dining halls become more fancy... education in america is in serious trouble.
KOMRAD XPJN beef-- half Swede-- me! Oops, and JPN! DE NEV-- expited or did, or navigated!
are these food for free?
No, this isn’t welfare
hey, im from gilroy,ca... went to irvine 2012-2020 and im here to say that the mexicans of the local high police are hating on me because of all dis food. -_-
Wow Irvine really did a great job teaching you basic English
Ur so cute 😍😍😍
is there a gym at ucla?
yes there are two! one on main campus and one near the dorms
@@lifeofmeili can you do a video on how to get into UCLA since its hard to be accepted :((
Bro I feel so sorry for these people getting duped. UCLA'S dining halls got trashed because of covid. Most of them are closed, there's super long lines, and the quality of food is nowhere near what I'm seeing in this video. It's not bad at all, but overall not more than a 6/10.
So lil rae black still in college right now??hahahaha
Useful video; the best part is your beautiful teeth.😎
This is definitely not the #1 dinning hall lol
She is cute
