We Make Education Possible
By opening the doors to higher education through affordable, student-run, cooperative housing.
To paraphrase John Essene, our 23 year UCLA graduate and founder, college students don’t need help being students. What they need is a safe place to live, good food and community. For the past 88 years the University Cooperative Housing Association, led by students, has served over 70,000 undergrad and graduate students – a testament to all who have given their time, efforts and talents to growing UCHA’s mission. While it is now my privilege to join hands in support of the Coop's continued growth, I invite all of you to join hands with us to open even more doors of educational opportunity to students from every walk of life, and from every nation on earth.

You have everything you need. A lot of international students, a great community and they organize a lot of events for members. Everyone is really kind and welcoming.

Moving to the Co-op was the best decision I could have made in terms of housing in LA. Rent is very affordable in a spacious and luminous triple room with food included (burrito night!!).
