Residence Hall Options
Our apartments and residence halls are located in a spectacular setting—on the edge of a 600-acre Redwood forest—and yet just a short walk from the heart of campus. You can choose to live in any of our five different living areas. Each area is unique and provides you with a variety of options to meet your individual style and preferences.

Securing Your Spot
It is important to note that placement into specific living areas is done on a priority system. Priority is determined by the date we receive license materials and your initial payment. We do our best to place you in your area of preference; however, it is not always possible depending on the demand for a particular area.

These pages use QuickTime VR to provide 360° panoramic images of the residence halls. Our virtual tour QuickTime VR images range from 300K to 500K in size, so they may take a little while to download, depending on your connection speed.
