Housing

Breadcrumb

Unrelenting cost of living escalation in California has resulted in recent unrest at campuses across the UC system. Despite a relatively more affordable housing market in the Inland Empire, our students nevertheless face rising costs for housing. We are committed to doing more to help.

Currently, the greatest need we see for graduate students is in Oban family housing. Therefore, UCR plans on upgrading seismic and fire alarm systems in Falkirk Apartments on Canyon Crest Drive in order to allow us to transition Falkirk completely to dedicated family housing. This will allow us to accommodate one-third more families (about 100) than was possible in Canyon Crest Family Housing.

Individual students without families – both undergraduates and graduate students – will also have access to the UCR North District Residential Complex. The first phase will open in fall 2021 with 1,500 beds; the second phase will add 1,200 beds in fall 2024. We are fortunate to be at a point where we are beginning to expand the housing stock for all students, including graduate students, and will involve graduate students in planning discussions to make sure their needs are met by this expansion.
