Resources for Commuter Students
Nearly half of the Cal State Monterey Bay students commute to class each day from an off-campus location. We aim to provide each student a complete college experience that's supportive and engaging, whether living on or off campus. There are many popular locations that students frequently use to study, socialize, or focus on their wellness routine. Some of the most popular spots on campus include:
Otter Student Union
The "heartbeat of campus" is where student clubs and organizations hold events and meetings, and there is regular student programming like movies under the stars and where we hold our Otter Thursday Spirit Day events. Several dining options are also available, including our campus Starbucks. Check out the Rookery Student Lounge or the Otter Esports Lounge when you visit the OSU.
Student Center
Located in Building 12, this location houses many affinity group spaces and a commuter lounge to study and meet with friends.
Library Cafe
Located in the front of the Tanimura & Antle Family Memorial Library, this space features tables for working, with coffee and snacks available to purchase. It is conveniently located next to the Library resources to support academic success.
Monte's Smoothie & Juice Bar
Located in the University Center, this new juice and snack dining concept has cozy booths and plenty of tables to spread out when you study and lounge between classes. The university center also houses a new student fitness area with free weights, cardio equipment, and exercise machines to help students stay fit and healthy.

Home to Otter Athletics and the Student Fitness Center, the Otter Sports Center is a place to work out and attend several athletic events to cheer on your Otters to victory.
