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
Cypress, Asilomar, Willet, Yarrow, and Manzanita Halls are uniformly configured three-story buildings. All rooms are designed for triple and double occupancy and have private bathrooms. Each building is equipped with a mailroom, laundry room, as well as a fully equipped kitchen that includes access to a microwave and stove.

Area Two
Avocet, Tortuga, and Sanderling Halls are three-story buildings with three room styles. Occupants will be assigned to double, triple, or quadruple occupancy rooms with private or shared bathrooms. These Residence Halls have a mail area, TV lounge, a laundry room and a full kitchen and lounge on the first floor.
