University of California, Santa Cruz: Can students decorate their dorm rooms?

By CollegeHousing.ai · Sources checked · 2026-27

DIRECT ANSWER

Yes, students may bring modest personal decorations, but they must follow housing fire-safety and damage rules.

UCSC specifically recommends small personal decorations such as photos and posters. Students should keep exits, alarms and building equipment unobstructed and avoid alterations that damage the room.
