Chancellor Pradeep Khosla will ask UC Regents this week to let him spent $2 billion to create a village that could house up to 6,000 students
The 2,400-bed village under construction at UCSD is less than half the size of a complex the university might build nearby. Once again, thousands of UC San Diego students are on waiting lists for housing for the fall quarter, a shortage driven by explosive enrollment growth that’s expected to last for another decade and a dearth of affordable rentals near campus.
UC San Diego is building a 2,400-bed community along the Ridge Walk section of campus. The university has tried to keep up. Khosa has created a net increase of 9,527 beds through villages he’s built or has under construction. The school will provide a record 22,000 students with accommodations this fall. Nationwide, only UCLA has more university-owned campus housing.
“Chancellor Khosla’s proposal seems a good idea for attempting to commensurate for San Diego’s unaffordable housing and congestion,” Cunningham said. California’s four-year schools have broadly bucked that trend, partly because more high school students are meeting eligibility requirements, including for the elite University of California system.At times, things have turned ugly, particularly in July 2021 when the university abruptly announced that it was far from being able to meet housing demand. Nearly 3,200 students ended up on waiting lists, many of whom didn’t have the means or experience to find off-campus housing nearby.
