First Year Living
First year communities are located in the Residence Halls (Sicomoro and Secoya) and the Traditional Halls (Encinitas, Montecito, Alamitos and Aliso). All first-year residents can request placement within our College Themed Communities, which ties the academic experience with residence life. Both communities are within walking distance of classes, library, bookstore, food establishments and other resources. Amenities include a local fitness center, satellite television, high-speed Internet, reserved parking areas, laundry facilities and more.
Residential Suites
University Housing Services offers transfer, returning and graduate students the opportunity to live at the Residential Suites (Estrellas, Bonita, Del Sol, Montanas and Luna). The community highlights privacy, comfort and convenience. Each of the three floor plans has one interior entrance leading into a living room and kitchenette area, with bedrooms offering additional privacy. Combined with other amenities such as air conditioning, private balconies, elevators to upper levels, an on-site cafe/convenience store, large study room areas, high-speed Internet access in all the rooms with wireless access points in study areas, satellite television service and a convenient location on campus, this community guarantees a secure and comfortable living environment.
College Themed Communities
The College Themed Community program provides residents an opportunity to create meaningful connections with students, faculty and staff. Communities are created based on college, class level or student experience. Residents who participate in College Themed Community programs will engage in events and support services planned to help students be successful in college. Students learn about topic areas critical to their success and engage in programs meant to promote community building amongst faculty, staff and peers. Students will leave with a better understanding of themselves and what it means to be a member of a community.
