HOUSING 1. What is the university doing to provide on-campus housing?
• Historically within the UC system, UCSC has housed the highest percentage of its undergraduate students — nearly half — in university-sponsored housing. • UCSC has added 2,150 beds spaces since 1988 and continues to provide additional housing for faculty and staff. • Student demand for on-campus housing reflects the overall housing market. The majority of students are adults and many choose to live independently in the community. • Rental vacancy rates in the City of Santa Cruz are actually up, and rents have softened.
