Summer Housing

The Edge Residential Experience

Enjoy summer in Santa Cruz, from the ocean to the redwoods! Students taking at least one class in Session 2 can opt into the residential living experience in on-campus housing along with other new admits and dedicated Summer Edge Peer Mentors.

Benefits

I was afraid of transferring to a university in full swing. I was accustomed to the community college lifestyle, and UCSC seemed very intimidating to me. I was hoping the Summer Edge program would ease me into life at UCSC, and it did just that! I was thrilled to explore the campus at my pace with fewer students around.

Summer – Fall Transitional Housing

Students with a room assignment in Session 2 or the 10-week Session and who also have an assignment on campus for fall can apply for Transitional Housing to stay on campus after their program ends and move into their fall assignment early. Students apply for Transitional Housing as part of the Summer Edge housing application process (see details on the Housing website). 

Need more options?

If you are enrolled in classes in other sessions and want to live on campus without the benefits of the Edge Residential Experience, you can submit an application for Summer Session Housing for any session in which you are enrolled in classes.
