Work moves forward on the new Costa Vista Student Housing project at Cabrillo College in Aptos. The $181 million development will be the first student housing collaboration between a California community college and the University of California. The 257,000 square-foot project will span three buildings, with 60% of the beds designated for Cabrillo College students and 40% of the beds for UCSC students.

thank you Tarmo.
I ran for my first term on this issue: i wanted to build dorms for our students. the response was mostly favorable. i am proud the student council , who named the new dorms, decided upon “COSTA VISTA, south, north and central. this is what the college should be renamed.
NO STUDENT should have to sleep on friends’ couches, a garage or under a bridge. i thank state senator John Laird and former college president Matt Wetstein for their hard work in getting this cone.
Waste of our taxpayer’s money. Community colleges are for locals and locals can live at home instead of us paying for their housing. We should not pay for any student’s housing.
As a small time “mom and pop” landlord, it’s difficult and a pain to be a landlord.
Cabrillo can’t mange what’s on it’s table now and it’s wants to mother-hen hundreds of students???
Are they willing to evict problem tenants?? Oh, horrors!
What happens when a student who moves in and doesn’t attend classes?
You going to evict them? Yea…..
Look at the debacle when Cabrillo moved (student) trailers into the parking lot adjacent to the sheriff’s office-
Noise complaints, freeloaders getting free”rent”,etc.. Now you want to expand that type of situaion by a hundred fold???
Ouch!
This is a common approach to dormitories in europe. The idea of one university or college providing all it’s student housing is not practical everywhere. The idea that all students need to live at home at the CC level is outdated. It’s as outdated as zero cost tuition, that ended with Proposition 13.
Not every students lives in a healthy home environment, one that is conducive to study requirements.
Great Job Cabrillo and UCSC.

Why house hundreds of UCSC students at Cabrillo??
They’ll have to add to the horrible commutr north every morning…
How many students does $181 house per year, plus maintenance. What are we dividing this number by to see if we got a good bang for our buck – to compare for opportunity cost.
