You can expand your UC Davis experience and add a measure of convenience to your life by living on campus; some 3,600 undergraduate and graduate students do just that. Students and professional staff in each of the residence hall complexes help create and maintain an environment conducive to personal growth and educational achievement. About 90 percent of the freshman students live in residence halls. Twenty-five percent of the transfer students elect to live in a residence hall environment. 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. Graduate students will be offered contracts on a space-available basis in Lysle Leach Hall.

The total room-and-board rate for the 1997-98 academic year is $5,540­$6,255 for a double-occupancy room and $6,130­$6,845 for a single room (of which there are very few available to new residents). Cost depends on which of the six meal plans you choose. Rooms are furnished with a bed, desk and chair, bookcase, chest of drawers, study lamp and bulletin board for each resident.

If the Davis campus is your choice, the Student Housing Office mails necessary housing information with your admissions letter. If you have a physical disability that requires special housing accommodation, please send a detailed letter of explanation to the Housing Residential Services Office, Room 160, Student Housing Office, at the time you return your Statement of Intent to Register. Your housing contract will be mailed to you between May 15 and July 15. At that time you will be able to choose your meal plan.
