We have designed the residence to be your home for your stay. All apartments are fully furnished, including dishes, cookware, and linens. All beds are king-sized. Cribs and high chairs are also available. The residence is located just off campus, about 1.5 miles away. Indoor bike parking is also available. No bikes are allowed in the building.
Date Change
Please be aware that if your arrival or departure date is changed shortly before, or during, your visit, we may not be able to house you. Changes made less than one month before arrival can result in housing being unavailable for your visit
What to bring with you
Your apartment is fully furnished, including all kitchen items. We only ask that you provide your own food and consumable products, such as personal and laundry soaps and paper goods. Your unit will have a starting supply of shampoo, personal soap, toilet paper and paper towels, as well as a small bit of food to get you through your first night!
Your apartment is your home. We will provide you with all cleaning products to keep your own space clean (no cleaning or laundry service is offered). We respect your privacy and will not enter your unit unless called for by repairs or maintenance.
Laundry
Laundry machines are available for free in the Basement. We ask that you provide your own soaps and detergents. For those staying in the seven bedrooms, the laundry is in your unit.
Water
There are reverse osmosis faucets and ice machines in the Prep Kitchen, First Floor Lounge, and Basement Lounge.
Bike Storage
All bikes must be stored in the Bike Storage room, as should surfboards or other items from the beach. The shower in that space is to help you remove additional sand, and we also have 'tar-off' available should you find tar on your feet from the beach. Santa Barbara has a number of natural tar seeps. We make these efforts to keep the Residence in excellent condition, as both tar and bikes in the building lead to substantial damage.
Children
Our first priority is to provide a comfortable environment for visitors and their families. We have a children’s play area designed for children aged 10 and below. We also have music rooms, foosball, and table tennis areas as well. Be aware that children are not to be within common spaces of the building in an unsupervised manner. We provide the common spaces for all of our visitors, and unsupervised children place a burden on both the visitors and our staff who feel obliged to then either correct behavior or be concerned about safety of the
unsupervised child.
Pets
The Munger Residence and all KITP housing does not allow pets. If you plan to bring a pet, you will need to find your own housing.
Smoking
Smoking is not permitted in the KITP Residence, in any units, common areas, or grounds, or outside of the complex. UCSB is s smoke free campus. Failure to comply will result in dismissal from the Residence.
You will not be able to receive mail at your residence address. Mail sent to your unit will be returned to the sender. You will have a mail box at Kohn Hall, which can also receive packages for you.
