People are and regularly ranks among the most expensive in the nation. very creative when it comes to where they live. Here are five Off-campus housing can be hard to find, and when you do Santa Cruz-style alternatives to traditional housing. 12>

10 l DILATED PUPIL | SANTACRUZ.COM 1/Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) Also known as granny units, ADUs are legal in Santa Cruz. Because of this, as well as the fact that this is a beach town with lots of little beach shacks, we have an abundance of these dwellings—including sheds, converted garages, cottages and more. Some of them are charming, some are so-so, and some you’re going to want to steer clear of, but if you want more privacy than you’ll get with housemates, and you have a little more money to spend, ADUs can be a good option. The downsides of ADUs include the fact that you may have to go into the main house to use the bathroom and kitchen, and if they’re not well-insulated, it’s going to get chilly during the winter months. But, plenty of ADUs are beautiful, stand-alone houses that have everything you need in one little unit. 2/Housemates Living with housemates is very common in Santa Cruz. Ranging from big party houses that hold 10 or more people to situations where you have just one or two housemates, it’s a practical housing solution. It’s among the most affordable options, and you can usually find someone who needs a housemate. Plus, it can be really fun. Gotchas to watch out for: people eating your food, scheduling clashes where one person’s party time is your study or sleep time, and housemate drama—so choose wisely.

3/Tiny Rooms A variation on the housemate theme, tiny rooms defi- nitely exist in and around Santa Cruz. Some of them are adorable little spaces that have been converted into bed- rooms, some of them are rooms that have been divided to create more space (and rental income), and some of them are, quite literally, the closets mentioned earlier. Depend- ing on your budget and lifestyle, these tiny rooms can be either a dream come true or a claustrophobic nightmare. The upside: tiny rooms are inexpensive and force you to be a minimalist. The downside: they really are small.

4/Work Trade Work trade is an attractive solution to finding housing, if you can find a situation that fits your skills and lifestyle. Services traded for partial or full housing include gardening, elder care, child care, maintenance, pet sitting, house sitting and more. Living where you work isn’t without challenges, but with clear communication and bound- aries, it can be a good way to build community, exercise your skills and save money.

14>

12 l DILATED PUPIL | SANTACRUZ.COM 5/Co-ops Santa Cruz has a long and storied history of cooperative housing. Some of them are formal, and some casual; some have lots of rules and expectations, and some just want to have shared meals. Some of them have themes—anarchist, queer, gardening—and some of them are wide open. But they all share core cooperative principles. The idea of living in a co-op is that there is democratic decision-making and a vision for community living rather than just a bunch of people living in the same place. If you choose the co-op route, be prepared to contribute time, energy and ideas. Challenges of cooperative living can include unnecessarily long decision-making sessions and expectations on your time. But when managed well, it can be a great way to meet people, expand your comfort zone, pick up some communication skills and become part of a community.

6/Bonus: Couch Surﬁng This isn’t a very good long-term housing solution, but if you find yourself unable to find a place, it may be time to call in some favors and start surfing friends’ couches. The upside is that couch surfing is as close to free housing as you’re likely to get. But remember, etiquette says that you should contribute to your host; if not money, then with help around the house or yard. And be sure to check in with your host to see how long they’re willing to have you—more than one friendship has fallen apart due to someone over- staying their welcome. The downside of couch surfing is obvious: you’re sleeping in a common space with no privacy, limited or nonexistent space for your stuff, and a couch (or sometimes floor) for a bed.

Astrophysics professor Sandra Faber won one of 12 National Medals of Science last year from President Barack Obama, for her work on galaxy formation and telescope construction. In the 1970s, she published a theory on cold dark matter along with four other researchers, including Joel Primack and George Blumenthal, now the school’s chancellor. Today, their theory on the existence of an invisible form of matter is the basis for our modern picture of the universe’s structure and formation. Another amazing researcher is Garth Illingworth, who’s using the Hubble Telescope to look at 13-billion-year-old light.
