Nearly 400 of 嘿嘿视频鈥 newest students moved in to the campus鈥檚 newest residence hall this fall. Yosemite Hall, a four-story, 390-bed hall in the Cuarto area, replaced Webster Hall, which opened in 1967 and had 266 beds. Yosemite Hall is also home to one of UC Davis鈥 17 Living-Learning Communities, which bring together students with similar interests for educational and social activities.

Four students sit talking on bunk beds in a furnished, but unoccupied, dorm room. Desks, lamps and chairs are also seen.

Rooms

All of Yosemite Hall鈥檚 rooms are suites, which has proven popular among residents. 鈥淚 really like the suite idea because I鈥檓 really close with my suitemates,鈥 said Josh Lopez, a biomedical engineering major who lives with seven others in a set of three triple-occupancy rooms. 鈥淚t鈥檚 nice being in a suite because it鈥檚 a little quieter,鈥 said mathematical analytics and operations research major Libby Hopkins. 鈥淭he rooms are a good size.鈥

Students sit on colorful couches and talk in a newly opened lounge area of the residence hall.

Lounges

Each floor has at least two lounges, each featuring floor-to-ceiling windows. 鈥淭he lounges are nice 鈥 you can do homework in them,鈥 psychology major Catherine Cheng said. Johanna Leon, an animal science major, said she enjoys attending events held in the common area, like a recent painting activity.
