Transfer Guide
Living at UCSC
Campus Life - A Time and Place of Growth and Discovery
For many transfer students, the opportunity to live
on campus is an important part of the university
experience. As an incoming transfer student you’ll
enjoy a “dual-citizenship” status that enables you
to participate in programs at your affiliated college
and the housing community where you live. At UC
Santa Cruz, all students are housed in small-scale
residential communities, which provide close-knit
living environments within the larger university. Livein
student and professional staff members provide
orientation, support services, safety and crisis response,
and a variety of social, educational, and cultural
programs for residents.
Housing Options
All incoming transfer students (regardless of college
affiliation) are eligible to live at the Transfer Community,
The Village, or the University Town Center. The
information in this guide will help you learn more about
these housing options.
The Housing Application
Your Housing
Experience
Assigning rooms and
roommates is not an easy
task. Your roommates
may or may not become
your best friends, but will
surely be remembered
simply because of the
experiences you will share. We will do our best to find
you compatible roommates, but please do not assume
they will share all your lifestyle preferences. Regardless
of where you live, remember one thing: much of what
living on campus really offers is what you and students
like yourself bring to it.
Your attitude toward, and your enthusiasm for, your new
living situation is the real key in determining what your
new life will be like. We do promise one thing… given
the opportunity, we will do all we can to make you feel
welcome and at home.
When you complete your online housing application
you will have the opportunity to rank preferences for
various room and theme options. This will give us an
idea of the type of housing you are most interested
in. You will also be asked to complete a Lifestyle
Questionnaire. Roommate assignments are based on the
questionnaire so it is in your best interest to answer the
questions as fully, thoughtfully and honestly as possible.
Specific roommate requests may be met as long as they
are mutual.
