Housing

Most freshmen and many transfer studentslive on our campuses. We encourage it because it helps you meet people, and studies show that students who live on campus do better academically. Housing options range from residence halls with single and shared rooms to apartment-style residences. All include Internet connections, laundry facilities, lounges and study areas.

Most campuses guarantee housing for single undergraduates 24 and under for at least a year. Even though UC San Diego doesn't guarantee campus housing from transfer students, it's a good idea to apply for it; they'll provide a room if there's space. For details and restrictions, visit the campus housing websites (see below).

Housing for students with families is available, and each campus has an office to help you find off-campus apartments. Many UC campuses also have sororities and fraternities.
