Your transition to college life is made simple by the welcoming feel of UCI’s campus. Interacting with fellow students from diverse backgrounds is one of the most valuable components of your education, and the friendships you make in campus housing could last a lifetime.

Our two freshman residence halls, Middle Earth and Mesa Court, offer the latest comforts and amenities. Middle Earth includes our newest housing expansion, Middle Earth Towers, featuring two new residential towers, a dining facility, study lounge, fitness center, and recreational space.

In addition to traditional residence halls, there are a variety of other housing options available, including academic-sponsored housing, fraternity and sorority housing, and undergraduate apartments.
