Our residential communities are as diverse as the people who live in them. We offer everything from traditional halls, to multi-bedroom suites, and apartment-style living for every personality and budget. 

You can live with friends or meet new ones and learn from those who are a few years ahead of you. We offer Living-Learning Communities as well as themed floors that allow you the opportunity to live with people who share similar interests. Traditional housing helps you build a network across all fields to carry with you in your future career.

Each of our communities has their own personality and style to provide students with a comfortable living space for growing and learning while at UC. We also offer Gender-Inclusive Housing options for students to find a residence hall space that best meets their needs.
