Embedded Files
Eleanor Roosevelt College (ERC) is named in honor of the former First Lady, humanitarian and civil rights advocate; known in her time as the “First Lady of the World” for her extensive travels and her tireless work within the United Nations for universal human rights. The defining theme of ERC is “Developing world citizens through scholarship, leadership, and service”. Complimenting ERC's core curriculum (Making of the Modern World) by creating and facilitating co-curricular activities focusing on intercultural experiences, RAs for ERC and I-House help their residents explore their identities and commitments as global citizens.

Residence Halls

Apartments
RAs in the ERC apartments (including I-House) are assigned a single bedroom in either a two-person or four-person flat.
Living Learning Communities (LLCs) - ERC is proud to host two of our campus-wide Living-Learning Communities (LLCs): International House and the Raza LLC. These two communities of residents share common objectives and interests, where RAs and residents are actively engaged in learning from each other in a common residential setting.
International House
International House (I-House) is the oldest and largest LLC at UCSD. I-House RAs help encourage a lively mix of International and American students to share their cultures and engage in intercultural exchange. They also partner with the I-House program interns in community-wide events such as language tables, cultural nights, intramural sports, shared meals and socials.
Raza LLC
The Raza LLC RAs and residents together commit to developing their understanding of and greater appreciation for the Chicanx and Latinx experience in San Diego and the United States and the histories and cultures of Latin America.
