Highlander Resources
At UCR, you’ll find a community that celebrates the differences that define us and the journey that unites us.
You’ll encounter a kaleidoscope of faces, narratives, and cultures through Highlanders with roots spanning the United States and over 80 countries. Imagine all these stories, merging with yours in vibrant Riverside — a progressive city that’s central to everything that makes Southern California a magical place to live, play, and study. Check out these essential UCR programs and departments and prepare yourself to live like a Highlander.
Live It Up
We make finding your Highlander home-away-from-home easy. From everyday essentials like on-site laundry facilities to much-appreciated amenities like Amazon lockers to Academic or Theme Living-Learning communities that will connect you with students who share your field of study or ethnic/cultural background — we invite you to take a quick tour of our ELEVEN on-campus residence halls and off-campus apartments.
Good Eats & Treats
Highlanders dine on BBQ, brick-fired pizzas, wok-inspired dishes, fresh poke bowls, taqueria treats, crispy fries, fresh build-it-yourself sandwiches, and all the coffee and tea you can wish for. We also have a great selection of vegetarian, vegan, halal, and gluten-free options all over campus. For those of you with a residential dining plan, you’re going to love the convenient, buffet-style dining experience.
Cruise the Campus
Take a driving tour of the campus’ architecturally aesthetic landmarks, watch a student-hosted campus tour video, schedule a virtual Zoom meeting with a knowledgeable guide, or log in from any location in the world and take an interactive virtual tour.
