University of Redlands

What are the popular events and traditions at University of Redlands?

One of Redlands' distinctive recurring traditions is the Feast of Lights, a holiday-season program in Memorial Chapel that brings together music and readings. It connects the university's performing-arts activity with a long-running campus event.

Homecoming is another recurring occasion, bringing alumni and current students together around campus activities and Bulldogs athletics. The details of any given year's schedule can change, so an applicant interested in attending should use that year's events calendar. These occasions offer a clearer picture of institutional traditions than an undifferentiated list of social events: one centers on a staged seasonal performance, while the other is organized around alumni connections and campus gathering.

What are the student housing and dining options at University of Redlands?

Redlands offers undergraduate residential living, including coeducational housing, and campus housing has high-speed internet access. Living on campus is common, but the existence of residence halls should not be taken as a guarantee of a particular building, room type, or placement.

Housing arrangements and eligibility can differ by class year and student status. Incoming students should read the current housing agreement for application dates, assignment procedures, cancellation terms, and any residency or exemption rules that apply to them. Transfer and graduate students in particular should confirm which university housing options, if any, are open to their program before assuming that an undergraduate residence-hall option applies.

Campus dining includes meal-plan arrangements for residential students and dining outlets for meals between classes. Plan prices and required participation may depend on housing assignment. Students comparing on-campus and off-campus living should consider not just rent or the meal-plan charge, but also groceries, travel, contract length, and whether a chosen dining plan meets their schedule and dietary needs.
