The residence hall community at UCR consists of you, the members of your hall, and residents in the entire building. From the day the halls open in September, your community will begin to develop. The direction your community takes depends largely upon your involvement. Your interaction with others and their interaction with you are the largest factors in the creation of a pleasant living environment. With the proper emphasis and effort, the residence hall environment offers support in the areas of academic excellence, social maturation, self-reliance, and an increased understanding of oneself and others.

To ensure the successful growth of your community, we want residents to foster a mutual respect and consideration for one another. Before you act, consider the impact your behavior will have on the lives of other students on your hall.

Living with your community, you will have the opportunity to meet people who have a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles. Your interaction with them may be one of the most rewarding aspects of your college experience. Each person you meet will have unique experiences to share. You are encouraged to become well acquainted with the people in your community and to use these experiences to increase your knowledge of others making new and lasting friendships. You must also be willing to share yourself and your experiences with the members of your community.

To assist you in contributing to the development of your residence hall  community, the Housing Services Staff provides comfortable facilities, policies, and caring support designed to help you make the most of your residence hall experience at UCR.
