"First on the Hill!"

With ultimate proximity to campus and Westwood Village, Dykstra Hall is named after Clarence Dykstra, former Professor, Provost and Vice President at UCLA. Dr. Dykstra crusaded for student housing. He ended UCLA’s 40-year-status as a commuter college, and on November 19, 1959, though he wasn't alive to see it, the first hall was completed and appropriately named...Dykstra Hall.

The first dormitory in the country to jointly house men and women under one roof, Dykstra Hall has lived up to Clarence’s expectations for fostering cultural and intellectual life.

Dykstra boasts both a full-time Resident Director and full-time Assistant Resident Director, 18 Resident Assistant (2 per floor), 9 Student Leaders, 1 Residential Learning Computer Consultant, and 1 Faculty in Residence - Dr. Alexei Vranrich (a Research Associate at the UCLA Cotsen Institute of Archaeology). We can't wait for you to tune in and join our team as part of your own floor’s government!
