UCSB operates eight residence halls and eight apartment complexes, all located on or near the main campus, and a variety of meal plans are offered at our four Dining Commons.

Residential & Community Living promotes a self-regulated environment for the residents of University residence halls and apartments. Their services foster the residents’ ability to live together respectfully and responsibly in a learning community and promote the academic success of all residents. The residential education program provides a quality living experience as well as opportunities to interact with other residents, faculty and staff. The department oversees live-in staff, university and community housing services, community councils, and student leadership and conduct.
