Student Housing has identified hotels in the Davis area that can accommodate our students’ housing needs during Winter Break. We have negotiated a discounted nightly rate, which the student will be responsible for paying. Availability is limited and provided on a first-come, first-served basis. The rate is $99/Night, breakfast and parking is included.
It's not too early to talk about Fall 26 housing options. Unsure if you want to live on-campus vs off-campus? We can help.

Hello parents! Welcome to Student Housing and Dining Services’ blog series. Every month in the In the Know newsletter, we will have a blog about all things living and dining on campus. For this month, we want to prepare you and your student for what to expect from the residence halls and the dining commons. Let’s get to it.
Big Shift is an ambitious project to replace UC Davis’ steam-powered heating system with hot water generated by electricity, a renewable resource. The project began in spring of 2020 and focused on districts, converting one area of campus at a time. For the 25-26 school year, one of those districts will be near you and involve digging trenches, installing new hot water pipes, insulating those pipes and then restoring the surface that was dug up.
We always strive to make where you eat and where you live the most enjoyable part of your day, but right now, some of our dining locations and residence halls will be affected by the union strike that is taking place on April 1. We hope all dining locations and residence halls will resume their normal operations as soon as possible, but in the meantime, please learn more about what is affected.
Which Student Housing and Dining locations are temporarily closed:
UC Davis’ housing program was awarded Gold by the 2024-2025 NASPA (National Association of Student Personnel Administrators) Excellence Awards for their program, Need-Based Rent Subsidy: Improving Long-Term Housing Affordability for Low-Income Students. In 2024, the program awarded 590 students (50% of income-qualified applicants) from the Green at West Village, Primero Grove and Orchard Park a total of $791,998. Students were classified into three categories: extremely low income, very low or low income and moderately low income or median income.
We have some exciting news! We’re about to break ground on a new housing project that will be in the location of lots 22 and 16 near you. This project is set to be completed in July of 2027 and will open the door to house many more students while adding to the overall campus experience.
Do you have Aggie Pride? Do you want to help welcome the next generation of prospective students to campus? We are looking for volunteers to help with Aggie Day for first-year students and Aggie Day for transfer students.
Aggie Day is our annual campus-wide event where we invite prospective students and their families to campus to learn what life at UC Davis is like. Student Housing and Dining services will be offering tours and informational resources about living on campus and we need volunteer tour guides and tour rooms for the event.
