Educational Campaign 2022

Housing Educational Materials

The Basic Needs Off-Campus Housing Office at UC San Diego is hosting a 6-week educational campaign during Spring 2022 to breakdown the mundane that is the housing search process. The series begins by centering the content in the deep understanding that housing is a systemic issue that is further inflated by the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and California Housing Crisis.

Follow our series on The Hub Basic Needs Center Instagram and TikTok pages (@ucsdbasicneeds), or check out the drawers below for the latest videos in the series and additional housing resources, including the UC San Diego Housing Booklet.

Students can schedule a housing consultation to review off-campus housing options, receive general first-time lease signing information, as well as move-in and move-out resources.
