The dorms are ridiculous. If you are an incoming Freshman, I would definitely recommend it for the experience and all but if you are a current UCR student, finding private apts should not be hard. Im living at the University Village Towers for the summer (literally 2 min drive or 15 min walk from UCR). I looked at Gran Marc, Copper Canyon and UVT. There are plenty of subleases available. The great thing about UVT is you don’t pay per month for summer housing, you pay per session.

It’s $600/session and Im taking 2 sessions. There is a $200 security deposit but if nothing happens that money gets returned to you.

The other places charge by month and 2 sessions = 3 months. Gran Marc ranges from $750 - $800 / month.

All prices are based on individual leases.
