Sproul Landing Dorm Checklist 2026

Sproul Landing FAQ

Is Sproul Landing air conditioned?

Yes. Sproul Landing is a Deluxe-designation hall with central air conditioning throughout the building, covering every bedroom and shared space. This makes it one of the more comfortable options in Sproul Court during September move-in week, when Los Angeles heat can be significant — temperatures regularly reach 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Personal portable air conditioners and window units are prohibited campus-wide under UCLA Housing policy, but the central system means you will not need to improvise with fans the way residents in the no-AC Classic halls do. A small desk fan can still help circulate air if your room gets warm afternoon sun, but it is not a necessity the way it is in Sproul Hall across the court.

What is the bathroom arrangement in Sproul Landing?

Bathroom arrangements in Deluxe halls vary by building layout, and Sproul Landing's specific configuration reflects its Deluxe designation — typically offering facilities shared among a smaller number of residents than a large Classic hall corridor bath. UCLA does not publish detailed floor plans in advance, so the exact number of residents per bathroom will become clear after you receive your room assignment. Regardless of the configuration, a shower caddy is one of the most practical items you can bring — it keeps your toiletries organized and makes every trip to and from the bathroom easier. Shower flip-flops or sandals are also strongly recommended in any shared bathroom setting.

Are XL Twin sheets the same as standard twin sheets?

No, and the difference matters at UCLA. Standard twin sheets are 75 inches long, which means they will not cover an 80-inch UCLA mattress — the foot of the bed will be left exposed and the sheet will constantly pull off the corners. The beds in Sproul Landing are 36 inches wide and 80 inches long. UCLA's mattresses are slightly narrower than the 38-inch industry-standard XL Twin, so the sheets will fit with a bit of extra looseness on the sides, but the length is the critical measurement. Look for fitted sheets specifically labeled 'XL Twin' or 'Extra Long Twin' with a stated length of 80 inches. Confirm the dimensions before you buy, since packaging can look similar at a glance.

Can I bring a coffee maker or toaster to Sproul Landing?

No. Coffee makers, toasters, standalone microwaves, hot water heaters, electric kettles, and other open-coil or high-draw heating appliances are prohibited in all UCLA residence halls including Sproul Landing. The restriction applies regardless of appliance size, wattage, or whether it has an auto-shutoff feature. Candles, incense, halogen lamps, and string lights are also prohibited. If you want microwave access in the room, the only approved route is renting a MicroFridge combo unit through UCLA Housing, which meets specific electrical safety thresholds that standalone appliances do not. For coffee, most students rely on the dining halls or nearby Westwood cafes in the first weeks of the quarter.
