Convenience & Community
The Transfer Community, located in Porter College residence halls and situated on campus to provide easy access to Services for Transfer and Re-Entry Students (STARS) and the Academic Resource Center (ARC), is a living option for incoming transfer students (regardless of college affiliation). The Transfer Community houses students in single, double, or triple rooms.
The Village, located in UCSC’s Lower Quarry on the east side of campus, is a unique community for junior and senior continuing, transfer, and re-entry students, as well as graduate students. The site, adjacent to the Farm and Garden, is in the heart of the Great Meadow. Existing redwoods, native grasses and other trees have been preserved as part of the natural landscape. Each house at The Village has nine single bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a kitchenette.
University Town Center (UTC), is located in downtown Santa Cruz (1101 Pacific Avenue) and only minutes from the Transit Center with direct bus access to campus. The UTC houses students amidst all that downtown has to offer, including cafés, restaurants, shops, museum, movie theaters, library and more! The UTC has double and triple rooms with private bathrooms and kitchenettes.
