University of California, Riverside

We are the fastest growing campus in the UC system. Our signature music festivals, talented sports teams, and one-of-a-kind student organizations all contribute to the excitement that permeates UCR.

We are located approximately 50 miles east of downtown Los Angeles. UCR is also within easy driving distance of dozens of major cultural and recreational sites, as well as desert, mountain and coastal destinations

Our three housing options – Residence Halls, UCR Campus Apartments and Family Housing – provide you with a convenient, student-centered environment to complement university education.

With zero commute, friends next door and plenty of recreational activities happening down the hall or in the next building over, you are in the center of the action.

When it’s time to buckle down and study for a big exam, you'll find computer labs, study buddies and plenty of academic resources.

Plus, UCR Police and on-duty Residential Life staff provide 24-hour assistance and are committed to delivering a safe and secure environment.

When the campus is at your doorstep, the only thing you need to do is step outside.
