Off Campus Housing - FAQ

Can I buy meals and eat on campus?

Yes, anyone may purchase food at the Pavilion and the Library Café. You may pay by using cash, adding dining credit on your Cat Card, or signing up for a Meal Plan. Dining credits or a Meal Plan will allow you to simply swipe your card at the cashier station and go.

What do I do if I need furniture?

Some apartments and homes may be furnished. If yours is not, look for garage sales, discount stores, or in your parent’s garage! Don’t think you cannot live without a full living room suite, however. Talk to your roommates, and pool your resources.

I won’t have a car. What type of transportation is available to me?

Contact taps.ucmerced.edu for all types of transportation and schedules.
Visit Efficient Ways to Get Around Merced for more options of transportation.
