Riverside City College Opens Applications for Student Housing at UC Riverside

Riverside City College (RCC) is pleased to announce that applications are now open for the RCC Student Housing at UC Riverside program, a unique opportunity that provides RCC students with access to apartment-style housing located on UC Riverside’s campus.

This innovative partnership between RCC and UCR is designed to enhance the student experience by offering affordable, convenient housing to students who may otherwise struggle to find accommodations near campus. RCC students living in these apartments will benefit from a safe, supportive environment, with the added advantage of proximity to both RCC and UCR facilities.

The apartments are fully furnished and feature kitchens, allowing students the flexibility to prepare their own meals. Housing contracts are designed specifically with community college students in mind, ensuring affordability while providing access to valuable resources that can contribute to student success.

RCC students who participate in this housing program will also have the opportunity to engage with the broader UCR community, expanding their academic and social networks in a way that is rarely available to community college students.

“This partnership reflects RCC and RCCD's ongoing commitment to supporting students both inside and outside the classroom,” said Jessica Vierra, Public Affairs Officer. “Access to stable and affordable housing can have a direct impact on student success, and we are excited to offer this option to our students.”

Students are encouraged to apply as soon as possible, as space is limited. More information, including eligibility requirements and the application link, can be found at:
