An analysis is presented of the relationships between future needs for student housing likely to be generated by the University of California, the private housing market and its capacity to produce accommodations suitable for occupancy by University students, and future policies of the University regarding student housing built and operated by the University itself. More specifically, the report includes--(1) an analysis of the student-oriented housing market in the vicinity of the nine University of California campuses, (2) a projection of future demand for student housing by campus to the year 1975, (3) the formulation of several alternative housing policies, (4) the organization of a University-wide system for gathering comparable housing data for analysis on a yearly basis, (5) the design and execution of a survey of a sample of students on each campus regarding current housing behavior and preferences, and (6) estimates of the possible impacts of certain proposed increases in the University's student housing fee upon the future housing situation of students.
