College Nine
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COL : College Nine
College Nine is a residential college at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It is located on the north side of campus, east of Science Hill and west of Crown College. The theme of its freshman core course is International and Global Perspectives. For all intents and purposes, College 9 and its sister college, College 10 are identical- so much so, that students make little distinction between the two.
The university's first new college in nearly 30 years, College Nine was founded in 2000 although the dorms were not finished until 2002. With its sister college, College 10, it is the location of the International Living Center, the 9/10 Apartments, and the University Center (which includes Cafe Terra Fresca).
Behind Colleges 9/10 is the Meadow, where the full moon drumming circle takes place. There is also Tree 9, famed as a climbing tree and for its fantastic view from the top.
In the LRDP (Long Range Development Plan) for UCSC, Colleges 9 and 10 will be situated as the very center of UCSC by 2025.
