Housing & Dining at SCU

Make yourself at home. Get settled into your room, make friends in your Residential Learning Community, and find your favorite foods on and off campus.
  • Residential Learning Communities

    Santa Clara's innovative RLCs provide a great connection to campus life and community living. Each of the eight RLCs has a broad theme, not connected to any particular major. When you join an RLC, you'll immediately get to know students and faculty members who share your interests and will help you find your place at SCU.
  • Housing & Residence Life

    Santa Clara has 10 residence halls for undergraduates, most with traditional double rooms and located in the main campus area, close to classroom buildings and dining facilities. Your RLC will determine which hall you live in.
  • MB-boy-girl-patioDining Services

    Santa Clara University's flexible dining plans based on points, not meals, gives you access to dining options throughout campus and each of SCU's cafes feature fresh, healthy, sustainable menus with food made from scratch. Whether early morning or late night, it's easy to eat what you want, whenever you want.
