Sustainability
UC Santa Cruz is deeply committed to sustainability and is striving to both reduce the amount of waste we generate and divert waste to compost and recycle bins instead of landfill. For move-in, we're providing guidance to help guests support our zero waste goals. Check out our Zero Waste Initiatives page to sort your waste properly and find a tip sheet for a zero waste move in.
What to Bring, and What NOT to Bring to College
Our "What To Bring" page has helpful info about packing for college, including what comes in your furnished student room, recommended items to bring (and what to leave behind), how to rent a MicroFridge, and where to order that extra-long twin bedding.
Tip: Be sure to coordinate with roommates/housemates in advance to avoid bringing unnecessary duplicate items!
