Accommodation details

Living on campus can be an exciting and enriching part of student’s college experience. The Office of Housing Administration has eight residence hall or apartment complexes, with a variety of living options. Residence halls are situated on the east and west sides of campus. Each residence hall contract includes local telephone service with voicemail, local cable service, and Internet connections in each room (except Aztec Corner). All halls/complexes are coed. All individual rooms, suites and apartments are same-gender. One of the goals of on-campus living is to provide ‘out-of-classroom’ experiences to help students succeed both academically and socially. This holistic approach governs the educational and social programming provided in each living area. Living communities are specifically designed to provide additional resources to residents participating in these programs. Three types of living communities are available at SDSU: Residential Learning Communities; Thematic Living Communities; Lifestyle Options. Students may select from one of these living communities or may simply make a choice of room type and residence hall location without selecting a theme or lifestyle area. Whatever their needs, SDSU has the living community for them. New first-time freshmen who have been admitted to San Diego State University are guaranteed a space in on-campus housing when a completed License Agreement is received and processed by the Office of Housing Administration. A completed License Agreement includes all required documents and the initial $800 payment.
