General Information:

  • Renters Insurance: 
    • Have your parent or guardian check to see if their homeowner's or renter's policy covers you while you are here at UC San Diego. You may need extra coverage for computers, jewelry, personal liability, etc. If you are not covered, we recommend you look into renters' insurance. If you need personal property insurance, please contact National Student Services Incorporated at http://www.nssi.com/. NSSI specializes in student personal property insurance.
  • Singles:
    • Unfortunately, the demand for singles far exceeds the number of single rooms available so not all students who request a single room will be assigned to one. There is an additional cost per year to live in a single room. Please check HDH Housing Page to view updated housing costs.
  • Roommates: 
    • Generally students will begin to receive more detailed information about move in day in early September.  Be sure to ask one another what you are bringing (so you do not end up with multiple appliances in your space) and discuss whether you would like to share appliances (Mini-fridges, TVs, Microwaves, etc.). You will recieve your roommates contact information on your MyRoomAssignment. 
  • Moving Equipment:
    •  A hand truck or dolly to carry heavy or bulky items always makes the moving process easier. A limited number of carts will be available for check-out during September 18th, 2024 to Septmeber 22nd, 2024.  
  • Late arrivals: 
    • You must let the Res Life Office know of a late arrival! You can email us at Eighthreslife@ucsd.edu or call us at 858-822-6556.
  • Prohibited Items:
    • Please reference UCSD's HDH (Housing, Dining, and Hospitality) Webpage for more information on prohibited items.
