Getting to Know Your Roommates

   • Share a bit about yourself, such as where you’re from, your hobbies, interests and major.
2. Discuss Expectations:
   • Communicate openly and address any issues promptly.
   • Prepare for a mandatory roommate agreement by asking your roommates some questions. 
3. Key Questions:
   • What does “clean” mean to you?
   • How will we handle disagreements?
   • Are there any cultural practices or boundaries we should be aware of?
4. Plan to meet once you arrive on campus and go to your community meeting and area welcome event.

Shared Space Expectations

Respect Each Other’s Space:

• Being well-versed in our Community Standards can help you feel even more comfortable in your new living environment. 
• Here are the top five Community Standards you should familiarize yourself with:
  • Alcohol (Section 1)
  • Cannabis (Section 5)
  • Guests (Section 15)
  • Noise (Section 20)
  • Pets (Section 23)

Quiet Hours

• Sunday through Thursday: 10 p.m. to 8 a.m.
• Friday and Saturday: Midnight to 10 a.m.
  • Be mindful of noise levels, especially during quiet hours.
• Courtesy Hours: 24/7
  • Please keep noise levels down to ensure everyone can enjoy a peaceful environment. If it gets too loud and bothers others, you will be asked to lower the volume as a courtesy to your neighbors.

Community Living Resources

Safety and Support:

• Participate in maintaining a safe and inclusive environment. 
  • You should always contact your Resident Advisor (RA) for any non-emergency issues. They will help guide you through the next steps. 
• University Police Department (UPD): For emergencies, call 911. For non-emergency situations, call (831) 655-0268. Officers are available 24/7.
• Night Walks: Call a student Community Service Officer (CSO) to support you in walking from one part of campus to your residence hall at night by dialing (831) 655-0268 for a Night Walk.

Please keep an eye on your CSUMB email, as we’ll begin sending Move-In updates starting in July. We’ll also be launching a Move-In webinar series soon. Additional information will be added to our website in the coming weeks.
