University Housing & Residential Life

CSULB's housing will be your home away from home. You'll have the opportunity to learn and grow from peers, staff and faculty outside of the classroom setting.

CSULB's housing options offer students a convenient and supportive living environment. On-campus housing provides students with a sense of community and the opportunity to get involved in campus life. Living on campus can also help students feel more connected to the university and make it easier to access academic and other resources.
