Residential Colleges

CSULB’s University Housing maintains 20 hall buildings and 3 dining halls that accommodate over 2400 students and 11 faculty members. All halls are coeducational and with the exception of a limited number of singles rooms at Hillside College, the rooms are intended for double occupancy. Students are assigned same-sex roommates and bathrooms are not coeducational.

We desire to provide a safe and comfortable living environment for all students. Please contact University Housing to discuss necessary special accommodations. Please note that when notified in a timely manner, University Housing will make every effort to provide reasonable accommodations, but requests are not guaranteed.

Beachside College

Beachside College

This college is the first fully incorporated residential college that consists of 2 three-story halls (Pacific and Beach Hall), a dining hall, faculty in residence, and several classrooms. Beachside College also has the unique amenity of a pool for resident use. Students truly get the intimacy of a small residential college while having the opportunities of a large university.

Hillside College

Hillside College

Hillside College consists of 6 two-story suite design halls (A, B, C, D, E, and F Halls), 2 three-story traditional halls (Los Alamitos & Los Cerritos), International House and a dining hall.

Room Furnishings

What do you need to bring? Not much. All rooms are approximately 15 by 11 feet and furnished with a bed, dresser, desk, chair, wastebasket, closet and mirror. Pillows and mattress covers are provided.

Residents must provide their own blankets, sheets (twin extra long), pillowcases, bedspreads, towels and study lamps. Refrigerators, microwaves, personal computers, stereos with headphones and compact televisions are also standard luxuries to consider.

Before you decide whether to bring all of these things, you may want to wait until you come to the campus and meet your roommate, and then together, you can decide on what you'll need. Sorry, we don't have storage space for additional items.
