They’ll provide the record players and headphones — you choose what records you want to listen to from their in-house collection. This esoteric hangout is exactly what you need if you’re seeking some self care in the form of sounds and songs. Pro tip: Rumor has it that a friendly Highlander ghost haunts the basement. Stop by and say “boo” sometimes.

  You love food — we get it! That’s why your favorite hangout is at UCR’s HUB Plaza (aka the Food Court). HUB might technically stand for Highlander-Union-Building, but to a foodie like you, it’s more likely to mean Hunger-Unlimited-Building. You vibe on poke bowls, tacos, burritos, nachos, orange chicken, chow mein, egg rolls, burgers, fries, salads, sandwiches, cookies, coffee, and tea. Drooling yet? We thought so.Pro tip: Keep those dining dollar cards charged and stay ready for food at all times.
