Student Housing and Residential Life

Benefits of Living On-Campus

Academic Success

Academics are paramount at CSUMB and we make sure our students are set up for success. Courtesy and Quiet Hours allow you to study and sleep in a comfortable environment. Our RA led programs help you build study skills and recharge with fun social events. We intentionally reach out to see how you are doing and get you connected to on campus resources. If at any point you have questions about classes, majors, or academic help your RA and Residential Life Coordinator will be happy to help you find your answers every step of the way.

Community

Our residence halls and apartments are far more than a place to sleep! We have student leaders and professional staff committed to helping you create a safe home away from home. One of the prime benefits to living on campus is the opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. We provide countless opportunities to connect and develop relationships. Through a variety of educational, social, and recreational events, you will find there is always a strong sense of community in each area and residential building.

Personal Growth

Student Housing & Residential Life provide students the opportunity to form an identity and a sense of belonging at CSUMB. Our student leaders put on monthly programs for residents that provide valuable life skills, effective communication, decision making, and critical thinking in order to enhance their social and personal development. Our team is available to help provide any support and connections you may need.

Location

Living on campus not only affords you the opportunity to experience the beautiful Monterey Bay area, but it also provides you with easy access to all of CSUMB’s amenities. Dining facilities, campus activities, and our state of the art Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library are only a few of the things available just outside your front door!

Co-Curricular Engagement

We offer 11 different Living Learning Communities based around academics, special interests, and identities. These communities are designed to help you find motivation for your classes, get connected on campus, and forge lifelong friendships. Students in our Living Learning Communities get the chance to meet faculty and staff in the halls, delve into their interests with like minded friends, and enrich their academics beyond the classroom. Take a look at some of the options we offer and find your home in a Living Learning Community.
