STUDENT GUIDE - Earl Warren College - UC San Diego

Commuter Students
Commuter students comprise more than two-thirds of
the entire UC San Diego population. Active involvement is
an important part of the college experience. Studies have
shown that students who are involved in co-curricular
activities actually do better in school than those who are
not involved. Both UC San Diego and Warren College offer
a broad spectrum of services and programs to involve
students in educational and co-curricular opportunities.
Commuter Student Services and Off-Campus Housing Office
The Commuter Student Services Office assists students in
making UC San Diego a home away from home. The Office
sponsors quarterly events, such as commuter appreciation
days. The Off-Campus Housing staff receives and maintains
up-to-date rental listings from landlords and homeowners
in the community. They also provide samples of tenantlandlord
forms, rental agreements, and local rental rate
information. Online housing listings and message boards
are also available. For more information call (858) 534-
3670, or visit: http://commuter.ucsd.edu. or
http://offcampushousing.ucsd.edu.
Commuter Lounges
Commuter Lounges offer a place to relax, meet people,
and study. Several locations on campus are designed
specifically for commuters. Warren College offers two
commuter lounges: one in the Warren Administration
Building (EBU 3B); and The Courtroom, a 24-hour space,
located next to the Warren shuttle stop. For a full list of
campus commuter lounge locations, visit http://commuter.

Childcare
The UC San Diego Early Childhood Education Center is
open to the children of UC San Diego students, staff, and
faculty. There is a limited amount of subsidy available for
eligible students. The goal of the Center is to provide a
meaningful experience for children 3 months to 5 years of
age by offering a child-initiated curriculum that promotes
the individual person and a sense of community. The
Center’s Infant/Toddler Referral Program also provides
information about selecting quality child care and assists
parents in locating child care within our network of family
home day care providers. For information and/or a wait
list application, call (858) 246-0900. The UC San Diego’s
Women’s Center provides study space and an area for
children to play under parental supervision.
