Living on campus adds a measure of convenience to your life and helps familiarize you with the campus. Some 3,700 undergraduate students live on campus each year, including about 90 percent of freshman students and 25 percent of transfer students. In each of the residence hall complexes, students and staff help create and maintain an environment conducive to personal growth and educational achievement.
Rooms are furnished with a bed, desk and chair, bookcase, chest of drawers, study lamp and wastebasket for each resident. Cost depends on which of the eight meal plans you choose. The total room-and-board rate for the 2000-2001 academic year is $6,521.81-$7,476.17 for a double-occupancy room and $6,816.64-$7,539.64 for a single room (of which there are very few available to new residents). Rates for the 2000-2001 academic year have not yet been formally approved.
All new freshmen whose Statements of Intent to Register (SIR) are received on time are guaranteed residence hall housing as long as they complete all of the instructions that accompany their contracts. Freshmen housing contract offers will be mailed out between May 5 and May 19. Transfer students who return their SIR by June 1 will receive contract offers on a space available basis after all on time freshmen have been accommodated. Due to projected freshman enrollment numbers, we anticipate that housing contract offers to transfer students will be very limited. We suggest that admitted transfer students contact Residential Services and request to be placed on the Fall 2000 waiting lists.
Student Housing information is included with your admissions packet. If you have a physical disability or special dietary needs that require special accommodation, please send a detailed letter of explanation to Residential Services, 160 Student Housing, when you return your housing contract.
Orchard Park and Solano Park Apartments offer 476 university-operated, unfurnished on-campus apartments for UC Davis student families. The monthly rates for the 2000-2001 academic year will be as follows:
Rates shown have not yet been formally approved. Once approved, they will be effective August 1, 2000. Vacancies in Orchard Park/Solano Park Apartments are filled from a waiting list based on the date the application is received. For a fall assignment, you should apply at least six to nine months in advance. For an assignment during the remainder of the year, the waiting period is usually shorter. You may submit an application before you are admitted to the university. If a member of your family has a physical disability that requires special housing accommodation, please attach a detailed letter of explanation to your application.
Privately owned and managed on-campus living accommodations are available for student families. Russell Park features one-, two-, and three-bedroom unfurnished units.
The Atriums offers on-campus living accommodations for single graduate students. The privately owned and managed apartments feature studio and two-bedroom unfurnished units.
The majority of UC Davis students live off campus. The City of Davis has ample apartments for rent, from one-person studio apartments to 5- or 6-person suites. Townhouses, duplexes and houses throughout the city are also available for student rental. ASUCD maintains a list of available community housing.
