Tuesday, April 1, 2025 @11:59pm
What buildings will KaPWA be located at?
Our event will be hosted at Tom Bradley International Hall. This link shows you the location and the directions to get there. Specifically, we recommend parking at Dykstra Parking Structure DD (409 Charles E Young Drive West, Los Angeles, CA 90095). You can use Google Maps or any app to get there. Please note that all-day parking costs $14, and we cannot reimburse for parking at this time.
Will transportation be provided?
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide ground transportation or flights at this time. Flight or Uber costs cannot be reimbursed at this moment. More updates will be provided if anything changes.
Will breakfast/lunch/dinner be provided?
Yes! This year we are very fortunate to be able to offer KaPWA attendees multiple opportunities to enjoy meals at UCLA’s top-rated dining halls. There will be complementary options for the following time periods: Friday dinner (UCLA Dining), Saturday breakfast (UCLA Dining), Saturday dinner (UCLA Dining), Sunday breakfast (Provided at venue*), and Sunday lunch (House of Grill Catering*). *Subject to change
Are parents welcome to attend the event?
Unfortunately, due to the number of attendees and volunteers we are expected to host for KaPWA this year, we are unable to accommodate a component where parents can be involved.
If I park at Dykstra Parking (Structure DD), will there be student volunteers to help guide me to the event location?
Yes! We will definitely have volunteers available to walk with admits from the parking structure to the designated location.
How many admits and current students are we expecting to be at the event?
We are hoping around 100-175 attendees to be present, specifically 50+ admits and 75+ volunteers.
May I come late and or leave early anytime during the event?
It is highly encouraged that you try to stay for the entire duration of the event to get the most out of KaPWA! However, if you have to leave, it is required that you tell your group leader (will be placed in an assigned group) or the KaPWA coordinators (Alliana Flores & Trinity Canton). If you are lost and need directions to the current location, we will have a GroupMe available here where you can ask questions and our student volunteers should be able to assist you.
Will I be guaranteed housing should I attend KaPWA?
Because the amount of housing we have available is limited, housing is prioritized for Admits who do not live in the area. We will try our best to accommodate every admit that requests housing but it is not a guarantee. We highly encourage any admit who is interested to fill out the ‘Admitted Student Housing Form’ section in the ‘Official Admit RSVP Form.’
If I am matched with a student host to live in the UCLA residential halls, what should I expect to bring?
Admits are advised to bring their own toiletries, change of clothes for three days, comfortable shoes for walking around campus, a water bottle, chargers or power banks, light jackets or sweatshirts for evenings, and spending money for souvenirs (optional). We also highly recommend that you bring a pillow and sleeping bag, in case we cannot provide every admit one.
