Apply today!

Cut The Commute

CSUDH's on-campus housing puts you steps away from your classes, your professors, and an array of resources right outside your door. Forget about driving or parking! Your commute is just a short jaunt across our beautiful campus.

Live Where You Learn

Studies show that students who live on campus get better grades, finish their degrees faster, go to graduate school more often, and are happier with their college experience.

Supportive Environment

Our housing accommodations provide a quiet, distraction-free environment that’s conducive to living and learning. Our residential staff also communicates regularly with residents to identify any issues or challenges that may be affecting their academics or personal lives, and will connect students to the resources they need to address those issues.

Build Your Life Skills

Living on campus is a great way to develop your independent living skills. You'll discover the freedom and self-discipline that come with having and taking care of your own space.

Residence Hall Linens Program

CSUDH has extra-long mattresses which are longer than 76 inches. These extra-long beds require specifically-sized sheets, comforters, and blankets. Therefore, University Housing has provided the Residence Hall Linens program to students since 2000. On move‐in day, it's important to have those XL sheets, which can be hard to find. Our goal is to make sure every parent and student is ready with the right size sheets, so we offer a huge variety of custom‐sized linens guaranteed to fit your residence hall bed and to last until graduation. We also provide a selection of extra‐long thermal blankets, extra‐long mattress pads, pillows, storage solutions, extra‐long comforters, and anything else you will need.
