Life at UC

• Find housing and dining options
• Get around campus
• Manage your finances

Outside of the necessities, we hope you'll get to know us and other support staff around campus. Meet the other students at UC who would love to introduce you to your new home. We think those things are essential for your happy and successful life here, too.

Before you even step foot on campus, you will need a number of resources to help you navigate the application process, visas and student systems access.
