The theme of its freshman core course is ''Social Justice and Community''. College Ten is home to the University Center, a restaurant and bar located above the College Nine and Ten Dining Commons, and Cafe Revolución, a student-run Co-op cafe open in the evenings. Along with College Nine, College Ten features some of the most modern architecture of any of the residential colleges. Because of its theme, proximity, and simultaneous construction, College Ten maintains close affiliation with the Social Sciences departments, and the Social Science buildings are located adjacent to the dormitories and Nine/Ten apartments. The construction of Colleges Nine and Ten in 1998 caused a furor over students, as the planned construction site called for the destruction of a region of forest known as Elfland . Rife with unique student-built fantasy structures, the demolition of most of Elfland sparked student protests, resulting in at least several arrests {Link without Title} .

University Of California, Santa Cruz students, including those that attend both College Ten and College Nine , as well as local bus drivers often refer to both Colleges as "College Nine and Ten". Both colleges opening just years apart following nearly two decades without any new college construction, nearly identical architecture, and seemingly identical student populations lead many to mistake the two or simply not to care. College Nine and College Ten student and professional staff are working to change this so that the two colleges may form their own unique identities. EXTERNAL LINKS |
