On behalf of Housing, Dining, and Hospitality at UC San Diego, I would like to
congratulate you on your acceptance to the university! You are about to embark
on an incredible journey, and the next four years of your academic career will be
transformative.

As a first-generation student, I truly understand the support needed for students who
are transitioning from high school to college. That’s why we’re here for you. Your focus
should be on the main reason you’re at UC San Diego: to have a world-class academic
experience. Our housing program includes well-designed living spaces with vibrant
programming as well as quiet study areas where you can concentrate on learning. Our
unique dining program has something for everyone, including the largest halal-certified
residential dining facility in the nation. We also offer certified kosher menus, a vegan
restaurant, table-service options — and of course, we have pizza and burgers too!

I invite you to explore all of the amenities your housing and dining package includes and
see how living on campus will enhance your overall UC San Diego experience. You can
also learn more by visiting our website at hdh.ucsd.edu.
