College Ten

College Ten is one of the ten residential colleges at the University of California, Santa Cruz. It is on the north side of campus, west of College Nine and north of the Cowell Student Health Center. Its theme 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 Revolucion, 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 [1].

College Ten was founded in 2002, making it the newest UCSC college as of 2005. It is one of three residential colleges, along with College Eight and College Nine, that is as yet unnamed.
