A Bruin exodus of sorts took place over the weekend as 1,000 UCLA students moved from an old residence hall, now slated for renovation, into a brand-new dorm.
The students vacated Dykstra Hall for two new residence halls nearby. Over the next 15 months, Dykstra will be renovated -- its first renovation since it opened in 1959.
The Daily Bruin interviewed alumni and current students about their memories of Dykstra Hall. Read more about that by clicking here.

One of my high school buddies and I had the pleasure of living in Dykstra Hall in 1960, when it was an all-male dorm. We moved to Sproul when it opened a short time later. Dorm life was interesting and varied, with some fun too. We actually developed strong arms throwing fruit across Gayley Avenue onto the Frat houses. Occasionally, frat bonfires on Gayley brightened up otherwise dull knights. Oh, yeah, we also attended our first semester of college to the East. :-)
