Eighth College is the eighth college at the University of California, San Diego with the theme "Engagement & Community," primarily focusing on structural racism, climate disruption, ecological degradation, globalization of chronic infectious diseases, declining resilience in human settlements and working lands to adapt to shocks, widening economic, health, and well-being disparities.

[1] Eighth College has a core curriculum named "Critical Community Engagement".

Eighth College students are primarily housed in the new Theatre District Living & Learning Neighborhood (TDLLN),[3] which is the southernmost residential area on campus, just south of Revelle College.

[4] The dormitories at TDLLN are some of the tallest on the West Coast, up to 21 stories tall, providing 2000 beds and a net increase of 300 parking spaces.

[5][6] The community was set to open by fall 2023, but due to construction delays, only one building was finished in time.
