In addition to the already busy workload of graduate students, housing can be another difficult task to navigate. The Santa Barbara housing market is one of the most competitive in California. We recommend that graduate students begin their search for housing several months before their expected arrival or end of current lease. Below you will find a recording of the Campus Housing Team with graduate specific resources.
Four key resources for you to keep on hand:
Graduate Student Parents
Graduate Student Parents
Success in graduate school is more than just reading, writing, and researching. For graduate student parents, it is crucial to find adequate support and resources for your family in order to thrive as a scholar. Whether you already have children or are thinking about starting a family while in graduate school, UCSB has resources, support, and benefits to help you thrive. Here is a comprehensive resource packet for graduate student parents.
Lactation Support Program
The University of California recognizes the importance and benefits of breastfeeding for both mothers and their infants. UCSB is committed to providing the information and support needed if you choose to breastfeed or express milk. See here for a map of lactation accommodation spaces on campus and for more information about the program.
