The University of California at Santa Barbara is a distinguished university recognized for its leadership by state, national, and world academic communities. Housing & Residential Services exists as an integral part of the educational program and academic services of UCSB. Inherent in the operation of Housing & Residential Services is the formation and support of an atmosphere that is conducive to living and learning for our residents and for those who use our services. Housing & Residential Services promotes the academic mission of UCSB and creates through support services and developmental programs a sense of community among students, faculty and staff.  
   
The mission of Housing & Residential Services is based on the following premises:  
   
  • Learning is a continuous process.
  • A community is positively served by responsible social behavior.
  • The professional and paraprofessional staff serve as role models to the larger community.
  • People learn from diversity.
  • Environment affects behavior: A positive environment promotes positive behavior.
  • Community action and involvement are key ingredients in the democratic process.
  • Proper nourishment is equally important to a student’s intellectual development.
