Hi there. I'm visiting UCLA (student) from offland and trying to reach Tiverton through the mail but no response. Is it common for them not to be avialable in mail?

You're better off calling them if you can.

The Tiverton is a very Busy place, you have to make sure that they are taking visitors their priority are Patients from the hospital and theirs relatives and Patients on the Operation Mend Programs for Veterans and Relatives. That can change in any moment. UCLA have a lots of places to stay nearby, Great Restaurants and lots of places for Hiking and have fun.

Better to call

I have never tried by mail .. they are very responsive by phone and a fantastic place, great staff and very helpful..
