The UC Irvine Living Experience
Living and learning on campus combine to create the ultimate university experience at UC Irvine. Our housing communities offer space to study and create a ‘home base’ on campus, programs for learning and community building, and professional and student staff who are available 24/7 to provide guidance and support. Everything we do, from taking care of the buildings that you live in to promoting resources and activities to enrich your UC Irvine experience, our focus is always on helping students thrive at UC Irvine.
On-campus housing options include traditional residence halls, undergraduate theme houses, and graduate apartments. Our third-party partner, American Campus Communities provides furnished apartments for both undergrads and graduate students in five communities on the east campus.
