Student Housing and Residential Life

Residence Halls

Residential Halls are designated for first time freshman and above. All students wanting to live in the Residence Halls must be matriculated CSU Monterey Bay students working toward a degree. Students must also be enrolled full time each semester they reside on-campus. This means 12 units per semester for undergraduates and at least 8 units per semester for graduate students. Meal plans required.

First Year Housing Residence Halls

Located around the heart of campus, our eight Residence Halls provide easy access to food, entertainment, and campus services. Each building has a mailroom, laundry room, fully equipped kitchen, and lounge area. Depending on the Residence Hall, occupants may have double or triple occupancy rooms with bathrooms shared amongst suite-mates.
