Before you buy anything: what is actually true at UC Riverside
A generic college checklist will cost you money here. These are UC Riverside’s own published room measurements and rules — check them before you order.
Room size and rugs
Rooms run from 88 sq ft (North District 2) up to 582 sq ft (The Plaza). At the small end a 4×6 rug is the largest that leaves walking room — measure before ordering anything bigger.
